Answer:

x = -3, y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x - y = -5

x = -5 + y

Let's put this into the other equation

(-5 + y) + y = -1

-5 + 2y = -1

2y = 4

y = 2

Now we can solve for x by plugging y into either equation

x + (2) = -1

x = -3

Answer:

  (x, y) = (-3, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The two equations are recognizable as expressing the sum and difference of the two variables. Such a set of equations is easily solved by the "elimination" method.

__

<h3>eliminate y</h3>

The y-variables have opposite coefficients in the two equations, so that variable can be eliminated by adding the two equations:

  (x -y) +(x +y) = (-5) +(-1)

  2x = -6 . . . . . . . simplify

  x = -3 . . . . . . divide by 2

<h3>eliminate x</h3>

The x-variables have the same coefficient in the two equations, so that variable can be eliminated by subtracting one equation from the other. We choose to subtract the first equation so the result has a positive coefficient for y.

  (x +y) -(x -y) = (-1) -(-5)

  2y = 4 . . . . . . . simplify

  y = 2 . . . . . . divide by 2

The solution to the system of equations is (x, y) = (-3, 2).

Question 3 (1 point)
lana66690 [7]

Answer: The area of the new parallelogram is multiplied by 18

Step-by-step explanation: Let the base and the height of the original parallelogram be ' x '

Base of the parallelogram = x

Height of the parallelogram = x

Area of parallelogram = l × b = lb

= x × x = x²

∴ Area of the original parallelogram = x²

∴ The base is multiplied by 3 = 3x

The height is multiplied by 6 = 6x

∴ Area of new parallelogram = 3x × 6x = 18x²

∴ The area of the new parallelogram is multiplied by = 18x²/ x²

= 18
