The solution of the system is:

x = 62/7

y = 30/7

<h3>How to solve the system of equations?</h3>

Here we have the system:

4x + 5y = -14

-5x - 8y = 10

To solve it by combining the equations, we need to try to remove one of the variables.

If we take the sum of 5 times the first equation and 4 times the second equation we get:

5*(4x + 5y) + 4*(-5x - 8y) = 5*(-14) + 4*10

If we simplify that we get:

20x  + 25y - 20x - 32y = -30

-7y = -30

Now we can solve that for y:

y = -30/-7 = 30/7

Now to get the value of x, we can replace the value of y in any of the given equations:

Using the first one:

4x + 5y = -14

x = (-14 - 5y)/4

x = (-14 - 5*30/7)/4 = (-98/7 - 150/7)/4 = 248/28 = 124/14 = 62/7

The solution of the system is:

x = 62/7

y = 30/7

D. 192in^2

This would be a simple area problem with a triangle. REMEMBER THIS EQUATION: a=bh*1/2 (b for base and h for height, these are multiplied together then that answer is halved out.)

So we just need to plug in our values into the equation, so the equation would look like a= (16)*(24)*1/2. 16 times 24 would then give you 384, you could either divide by 2 or multiply by 0.5 to get the next answer, as long as your HALVING the answer.

So we have our bh value so now we can multiply by 1/2 which will give us 384*1/2 which leaves us with 192.

I have also attached a photo of doing a longer(ish) way than this, that also proves that this equation works. Either one will provide you an answer.

Simplify the expression: (3m + 1)(2)
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

6m + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify the expression you must have to use the distributive property:

(3m + 1)(2)

2 x 3m = 6m

2 x 1 = 2

6m + 2
