Problem Practice #1,2,4
3.2 Explain
y=27-3x
y=17-x
Multiply second by -1
y=27-3x
-y=-17+x +
0y=10-2x
2x=10 x=5
3.2 Explain
y=2x+3
3y=6x+6
Multiply first by -3
-3y=-6x-9
3y=6x+6 +
0y=0x-3
0=-3 !? No solution
3.2 Explain
2x+1y=11
6x+5y=38
Multiply first by -3
-6x-3y=-33
6x+5y=38 +
0x+2y=5
2y=5 y=5/2= $2.50
