5x + 6y = 32 5x – 6y = 8

Which variable or variables will be eliminated when you add the system of equations?

The variable y is eliminated.

Step-by-step explanation:

To add a system of equations, we add the common terms. x with x, y with y and values with values.

In this question:

5x + 6y = 32

5x – 6y = 8

Adding:

5x + 5x + 6y - 6y = 32 + 8

10x = 40

So the variable y is eliminated.

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15
