Answer:  [B]:  "contains one point" .
_______________________________
Explanation:
__________________
Given:
__________________
x + y  = 6  ;
x - y = 0 ;
_________________
 
To solve for "x" ;

Consider the first equation:

x + y = 6 ;

subtract "y" from each side of the equation ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x" ;

x + y - y = 6 - y ;

x = 6 - y ;
________________
Take the second equation:
____________________
 x - y = 0 ;

Solve for "x" ;

Add "y" to EACH SIDE of the equation; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x" ;

x - y + y = 0 + y ;
________________________________
    x = y
______________
x = 6 - y

Substitute "x" for "y" ;

x = 6 - x ;

Add "x" to Each side of the equation:
_______________________________
x + x = 6 - x + x ;

2x = 6 ;

Now, divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "2" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x" ;

2x/2 = 6/2 ;

x = 3 .
_______________
Now, since "x = 3" ;  substitute "3" for "x" in both original equations; to see if we get the same value for "y" ;
_______________________________
x + y  = 6  ;
x - y = 0
________________________________
Start with the first equation:
________________________________
x + y = 6 ;

3 + y = 6 ;

Subtract  "3" from each side of the equation; to isolate "y" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "y" ;

3 + y - 3 = 6 - 3 ;

y = 3 .
________________________
Now, continue with the second equation; {Substitute "3" for "x" to see the value we get for "y"} ;
________________________
The second equation given is:
________________________
x - y = 0 ;

Substitute "3" for "x" to solve for "y" ;

3 - y = 0 ;

Subtract "3" from EACH side of the equation:

3 - y - 3 = 0 - 3 ;

      -1y = -3  ;

Divide EACH side of the equation by "-1" ;  to isolate "y" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "y" ;

-1y/-1 = -3/-1 ;

    y = 3 .
________________________
So, for both equations, we have one value:  x = 3, y = 3;  or:  write as: 
"(3, 3)" ;  { which is:  "one single point" ;  which is:  Answer choice:  [B] } .

Solve for x<br><br> 2x - 1 - 1 = x - 3 - ( -5 + x )
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2x−1−1=x−3−(−5+x)

2x−1−1=x−3+−1(−5+x)(Distribute the Negative Sign)

2x−1−1=x+−3+(−1)(−5)+−1x

2x−1−1=x+−3+5+−x

2x+−1+−1=x+−3+5+−x

(2x)+(−1+−1)=(x+−x)+(−3+5)(Combine Like Terms)

2x+−2=2

2x−2=2

Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.

2x−2+2=2+2

2x=4

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

4

The length of a rectangle is the same as its width. If its perimeter is 32 meters, what is its area?
Fed [463]
The answer would be 64 m2 because it said the length is the same as width so it is basically like a square. The perimeter is 32/4=8 because there are 4 sides in the rectangle. 8 times 8 is 64

The answer is 64 m2
