The solutions to the given system of equations are x = 4 and y = -9

<h3>Simultaneous linear equations</h3>

From the question, we are to determine the solutions to the given system of equations

The given system of equations are

-8x-4y=4  --------- (1)

-5x-y=-11   --------- (2)

Multiply equation (2) by 4

4 ×[-5x-y=-11 ]

-20x -4y = -44  -------- (3)

Now, subtract equation (3) from equation (1)

-8x -4y = 4  --------- (1)

-(-20x -4y = -44)  -------- (3)

12x = 48

x = 48/12

x = 4

Substitute the value of x into equation (2)

-5x -y = -11

-5(4) -y = -11

-20 -y = -11

-y = -11 + 20

-y = 9

∴ y = -9

Hence, the solutions to the given system of equations are x = 4 and y = -9

Answer:

105 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure is composed of a rectangle and a triangle

area of rectangle = 15 × 6 = 90 cm²

area of triangle = \frac{1}{2} bh ( b is the base and h the height )

Here b = 15 - 9 = 6 and h = 11 - 6 = 5 , thus

area of triangle = \frac{1}{2} × 6 × 5 = 3 × 5 = 15 cm²

Total area = 90 + 15 = 105 cm²

X^2 -9X = 0. Factor and use the Zero property to solve
Veseljchak [2.6K]
The first step of factoring is to try to factor out a common factor.
The terms x^2 and -9x have the factor x in common.
Factor out x from both terms.

x^2 - 9x = 0

x(x - 9) = 0

Now you have a product of fully factored terms equaling zero, so you can apply the zero product property to solve.

x = 0   or   x - 9 = 0

x = 0   or   x = 9

Answer: x = 0 or x = 9
