Answer:

O -2(x+y=8)

Step-by-step explanation:

If you put the problems beside each other, they look like this;

2x + 5y = 24

  x + y = 8

So you are trying to find a way to simplify the x's

Step 1;

See if there are any numbers that you could multiply to the bottom problem that would help you get rid of the x specifically.

In this case, -2 would cancel out that other 2 right? Because if you added them, they cancel each other out; 2 -2 = 0

Step 2:

if you multiply, you have to do it to the entire problem;

-2(x + y = 8)    (-2 times x, -2 times y, -2 times 8)

-2x + -2y = -16

Step 3:

Go back to your original problem and work it out;

2x + 5y = 24

-2x + -2y = -16

2x and -2x cancel each other out so now you only have;

5y = 24

-2y = -16

Step 4:

Combine like terms;

5y = 24

-2y = -16

3y = 8

Divide by 3

y = 2.6

What is the vertex of the quadratic function f(x)=(x-8)(x-2) ?
Nata [24]
Multiply out <span>f(x)=(x-8)(x-2):  f(x) = x^2 - 8x - 2x + 16, or f(x) = 1x^2 - 10x + 16.
Thus, a=1, b= -10 and c=16.

One of several ways to find the vertex involves "completing the square."

x^2 - 10x + 16 = x^2 - 10x + 25 - 25 + 16, or y = (x-5)^2 -9, or y+9=(x-5)^2.

Compare this result to y-k = a(x-h)^2.  We see that h=5 and k=-9.

Thus, the vertex is at (h,k) = (5, -9). </span>

The perimeter of a rectangle is 12 centimeters. The length of a rectangle is 3 centimeters. What is the area of the rectangle
ch4aika [34]
Recall that the equation to find the perimeter of a rectangle is 2(L + w)

Since we know the length, we can make an equation:

2(3 + w) = 12

Divide both sides by 2:
(3 + w) = 6
w = 3

Now that we know both length and width, we simply have to find their product to solve for area:

a = L * w
a = 3 * 3
a = 9

The area of the rectangle is 9 cm^2.
