14.what is the solution of the system? 4x-y= - 3 6x-y= - 8 15.what is the solution of the system? 5x+6y=20 9x+11y=32

14.  x=-2.5,  y = -7

15.  x=28  y = -20

Step-by-step explanation:

14.  Let's solve this system by elimination.  Multiply the first equation by -1.

-1*(4x-y)= -1*(- 3)

-4x +y = 3

Then add this to the second equation.

-4x+y = 3

6x-y= - 8

2x   = -5

Divide each side by 2

x = -2.5

We still need to find y

-4x+y =3

-4(-2.5) + y =3

10 +y =3

Subtract 10 from each side.

y = 3-10

y = -7

15.I will again use elimination to solve this system, because using substitution will give me fractions which are harder to work with.   I will elimiate the y variable.  Multiply the first equation by 11

11( 5x+6y)= 11*20

55x+66y = 220

Multiply the second equation by -6

-6(9x+11y)=32*(-6)

-54x-66y = -192

Add the modified equations together.

55x+66y = 220

-54x-66y = -192

x = 28

We still need to solve for y

5x+6y = 20

5*28 + 6y =20

140 + 6y = 20

Subtract 140 from each side

6y = -120

Divide by 6

y = -20

answer: 2 and 1

step-by-step explanation: got this question

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

x - 3

discussion:

x^2 - 9 = (x-3) (x+3)   so

(x^2-9)/ (x + 3) = x-3

you,
