Answer:

x= 3

y= 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equations are :

2x-5y = -4 equation 1

x +6y = 15 equation 2

We will multiply the equation:2 by 2

2(x+6y=15)

2x+12y=30 equation 3

Lets call this equation:3

Now we will use the elimination method:

Subtract equation 3 from equation 1:

2x-5y = -4

2x+12y=30

_________

-17y = -34

y= -34/-17

y = 2

Now put the value of y in any equation:

We will use equation 1

2x-5y = -4

2x-5(2)= -4

2x-10= -4

Move the constant to the R.H.S

2x= -4+10

2x=6

Divide both the terms by 2

x= 3

Therefore the solution set is (x,y){(3,2)}....

Whats the Area? how do i find it? In these specific questions?

The formula for finding the area of a square is:
${s}^{2}$

The formula for finding the area of a triangle is:
$\frac{1}{2} bh$

So for the square the area would be:
${2x}^{2} \times {2x}^{2} = {4x}^{2}$

The area for the triangle would be:

$\frac{1}{2} {2c}^{3} \times 4c = {4c}^{2}$

Re-arrange this polynomial so it’s terms are in order from highest to lowest. 4x to the 5th power + 2x to the 3rd power - 15 - 7
