Question 1018933
1. 4. Use technology to determine an approximate solution to the system y =- 0.44x + 12.6 and y =- 7.21x – 55.6. Explain the procedure. PLEASE PROVIDE GRAPH
---
y =- 0.44x + 12.6
y =- 7.21x – 55.6
Since the both = y, 
-0.44x + 12.6 = -7.21x – 55.6
Add 7.21x
6.77x + 12.6 = -55.6
Subtract 12.6
6.77x = 68.2
x = 68.2/6.77
--------------
 2. 1. Solve and verify each of the following systems of linear equations. 
5x – 2y =-6
2x – y = 1
----
Multiply the 2nd eqn by 2, then subtract.
-------------- 
 b. 2x + 3y = 432 and 5x – 2y = 16
Similar to 2a.
================================= 
 3. The numbers x and y have a sum of 1 and a difference of 11
 a. Write a system of equations to represent this information.
x + y = 1
x - y = 11
