Answer:
x=8
y=16
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+2y=48
3x+y=40
Ther is many ways to solve this, one of them is clearance:
WE CLEAR AN UNLOCKED (X) AND REPLACE IT IN THE OTHER
x= (40-y)/3
2[(40-y)/3] +2y=48
(80-2y)/3 +2y=48
(80-2y+6y)/3=48
80+4y=48(3)
4y=144
y= 144/4
y=16
x=(40-y)/3
x=(40-16)/3
x=24/3
x=8
Look carefully at the first pair: (−3, 9), (−3, −5) Note that x does not change, tho' y does. This is how we recognize a vertical line (whose slope is undefined). The equation of this vertical line is x = -3.
Looking at the second pair: from (3,4) to (5,6), x increases by 2 and y by 2; thus, the slope is m = rise/run = 2/2 = 1.
Third pair: as was the case with the first pair, x does not change here, and thus the equation of this (vertical) line is x=0 (which is the y-axis). The slope is undefined.
