The solution to the system of equations is x = 8, y = 4.

<h3>How to write the system of equations?</h3>

First, let's define our variables as x and y.

"the sum of two numbers is twelve" is written as:

x + y = 12

"two times the first number minus three times the second number is four" is written as:

2x - 3y = 4

Then the system of equations is:

x + y  = 12

2x - 3y = 4

<h3>How to solve it?</h3>

First, we isolate one of the variables in one equation, I will isolate x on the first one to get:

x = 12 - y

Now we replace this on the other equation, so we get:

2*(12 - y) - 3y = 4

Now we can solve this for y.

24 - 2y - 3y = 4

24 - 5y = 4

24 - 4 = 5y

20/5 = y = 4

Now we know the value of y, and:

x = 12 - y = 12 - 4 = 8

Then the solution of the system is:

x = 8, y = 4.

If parallelogram JKLM is rotated 270° counterclockwise around the origin, what are the coordinates of the endpoints of the side
Sati [7]

The <em>correct answer</em> is:

B) K’(6, 4); L’(3, 3)

Explanation:

A 270° clockwise rotation maps every point (x, y) to (y, -x). (It negates the x-coordinate and then switches it and the y-coordinate.)

This means the endpoints of the side congruent to KL, K' and L', would be mapped as:

K'(-4, 6)→(6, 4)

L'(-3, 3)→(3, 3)
