Step 1) Label Equations 1) 3x+2y=11 2) 2x-5y=1 Step 2) Multiply so that one variable has same coefficient in both equations.1)x5 15x+10y=55 ...

First take the 4x - the two numbers that will be +/- to the x in the brackets will need to add to form this number, so the possibilities are 1 and 3 or 2 and 2.Now take the 3 - the two nu...

I will use the whiteboard in order to explain the answer to my question. The format will follow:Understanding what it means to 'solve' one equationUnderstanding what it means to 'solve' two equationsVaria...

4x - 3y = 11 10x + 2y = -1 x2 x38x - 6y = 22 30x + 6y = -338x = 19x = 28 - 3y = 11-3 = 3yy = -1x=2, y=-1

You want to express this expression in the form (x+a)(x+b) to do this you want to find two numbers that add to make -5 (the coefficient of x) and multiply to make 6. Let's first focus on numbers that mult...
