to solve the system of equations below, grace isolated the variable y in the first equation and then substituted into the second equation. what was the resulting equation? 3y=12x x^2/4+y^2/9=1
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:The resulting equation isx^2/4+16x^2/9=1Step-by-step explanation:The given equations are:3y=12x eq(1)x^2/4+y^2/9=1 eq(2)We need to isolate variable y in equation 1Divide both sides of the equation with 33y/3 = 12x/3y = 4xNow, substitute the value of y=4x in second equationx^2/4+y^2/9=1x^2/4 + (4x)^2/9 = 1The resulting equation isx^2/4+16x^2/9=1
