3x+7y=18 (eqn 1)  -multiply by 7->   21x+49y=126 (eqn 1*)

7x+9y=8  (eqn 2)  -multiply by 3->    21x+27y=24 (eqn 2*)

(eqn 1*)-(eqn 2*)  --> 22y=102 therefor y=51/11

This question can be answered by the elimination method. I will choose to eliminate 'y' in this case. Firstly, multiply equation (1) by 2, resulting in 8x+2y=14. Now we can subtract eqaution (2): 3x+2y=9 ...

The best way to answer these kind of questions is by moving all the unknowns to one side. In this case, the only unknown is x, so we should start by moving all the x's to one side. Since there are 4x's on...

The square of 5 is 25 and the square of 7 is 49. The prime numbers found between these 2 values are: 29, 31, 37, 41, 43 and 47. This means the smallest value fitting the criteria is 29 and the largest val...

a) y=3x+4

b) (3,13)
