<span>The y variable has the same coefficient so use elimination (subtract equations).
-2x = 8 - 6y
-(-15x = 21 - 6y)
------------------------
13x = -13 + 0
x = -1
Use this to find y in either equation. </span>
<span>-2(-1) = 8 - 6y
2 = 8 - 6y
2 - 8 = -6y
-6 = -6y
y = 1
(x,y) = (-1, 1)

Answer:
5.975. 10 6
The six is an exponent of 10 hope this helps
Step-by-step explanation:
Horse = x = 1 head and 4 feet
Chicken =y = 1 head and 2 feet
Horse + chicken = x + y = 43 ( total heads)
Horse = 43 - y
4x + 2y = 122
4(43-y) + 2y = 122
Simplify:
172-4y + 2y = 122
Combine like terms
172-2y = 122
Subtract 172 from both sides
-2y = -50
Divide both sides by-2
Y = 25
X + y = 43
X + 25 = 43
X = 18
There are 18 horses and 25 chickens.
Answer:
20*30km = 600km
15*30km = 450km
600km * 450km = 270000 km^2
Step-by-step explanation:
assuming 1cm --- 30km causes that 2cm --- 60km, 3cm --- 90km, 4cm --- 120km etc. Notice that number of km's is 30 times greater than the number of cm's on a map
using this logic, you calculate both real dimensions of Colorado by multiplying 20*30 = 600 km and 15*30 = 450km
Then we use a formula of an area of a rectangle 
assuming 
and get 
which is an actual area of Colorado
