Y=2x-2 and 4x+2y=12. solve the equation PLEASE SHOW WORK

diamong [38]

<h3>The solution as an ordered pair is (x,y) = (2,2)</h3><h3>x = 2 and y = 2 pair up together.</h3>

===============================

Work Shown:

4x+2y = 12

4x+2( y ) = 12

4x+2( 2x-2 ) = 12 ... replace y with 2x-2

4x+2( 2x ) + 2( -2 ) = 12 ... distribution rule

4x+4x-4 = 12

8x-4 = 12

8x-4+4 = 12+4 ... add 4 to both sides

8x = 16

8x/8 = 16/8 ... divide both sides by 8

x = 2 is the first part of the answer

Use x = 2 to find y

y = 2x-2

y = 2(2)-2 ... replace x with 2

y = 4-2

y = 2 is the second part of the answer

Is -28 greater than or less than -162

vivado [14]

Answer:

Any number which is on left side on the line number is less than the number which is on right hand side relative to that number.

As -28 is on the right hand side of the line number, and -162 is heading towards left hand side relative to -28.

Therefore, -28 is greater than -162.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine:

Is -28 greater than or less than -162?

Solution Steps:

In mathematics, a number line is considered to be a straight line with numbers placed at equal intervals along its length.

A number line could be extended infinitely in any direction i..e -∞ to +∞.

A number is usually represented horizontally.

Any number which is on left side on the line number is less than the number which is on right hand side relative to that number.

As -28 is on the right hand side of the line number, and -162 is heading towards left hand side relative to -28.

Therefore, -28 is greater than -162.

In other words,

$-28>-162\quad :\quad \begin{bmatrix}\mathrm{Solution:}\:&\:\mathrm{True\:for\:all}\:x\:\\ \:\mathrm{Interval\:Notation:}&\:\left(-\infty \:,\:\infty \:\right)\end{bmatrix}$

Sarah and Bryan went shopping and spent a total of $47.50 Bry an spent $15.50 less than what Sarah spent how much did bryan spen

Bogdan [553]

Since Bryan spent $15.50 less than Sarah, you would start by dividing the total amount they spent together in half.

$47.50 ÷ 2 = $23.75

Then you would take Bryan's 1/2 of the total and subtract $15.50.

$23.75 - $15.50 = $8.25

So, it looks like Bryan spent $8.25.

Check step:

If you add it all back together:

Sarah + Sarah Bryan = Total
$23.75 + $15.50 + $8.25 = $47.50

An equilateral ∆ has sides of length 16 cm. Find the length of an altitude.

inn [45]

The length of the altitude is $8\sqrt{3}$

Explanation:

Let ABC be an equilateral triangle.

It has sides of length 16 cm

Let AD be the altitude of the triangle.

We need to determine the length of an altitude.

Let AC = 16 cm and CD = 8 cm

Let us consider the right angled triangle ADC

Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have,

$AC^2=AD^2+DC^2$

Substituting the values, we get,

$16^2=AD^2+8^2$

$256=AD^2+64$

$192=AD^2$

$8\sqrt{3}=AD$

The length of the altitude is $8\sqrt{3}$
