Use addition to solve the linear system of equations. Include all of your work in your final answer. \(\left\{ \right.\) 3x-y=6
ad-work [718]

Answer:

Solving the given linear system, we get x = 1 and y = -3.

The solution set is: (1,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the linear system of equations.

3x-y=6 \\y=x-4

We can write second equation y=x-4  as: -x+y=-4

Let:

3x-y=6--eq(1)\\ -x+y=-4--eq(2)

Now, Adding equation 1 and 2

3x-y=6\\ -x+y=-4\\--------\\2x+0y=2\\2x=2\\x=\frac{2}{2}\\x=1

So, we get x = 1

Now, put value of x in second equation to find value of y:

y=x-4\\Put\:x=1\\y=1-4\\y=-3

So, we get y = -3

Solving the given linear system, we get x = 1 and y = -3.

The solution set is: (1,-3)

A right angled triangle has sides of length 9cm, 12cm and 15cm. Calculate its area in square centimetres.
Dmitriy789 [7]

The area of a right angled triangle with sides of length 9cm, 12cm and 15cm in square centimeters is 54 sq cm.

The formula to calculate the area of a right triangle is given by:

Area of Right Triangle, A = (½) × b × h square units

Where, “b” is the base (adjacent side) and “h” is the height (perpendicular side). Hence, the area of the right triangle is the product of base and height and then divide the product by 2.

We know that the hypotenuse is the longest side. So, the area of a right angled triangle will be half of the product of the remaining two sides.

Given sides of the triangle:

a=9cm

b=12cm

c=15cm

From this we know that the hypotenuse is c. Are of the triangle will be obtained by the other two sides.

∴Area = \frac{1}{2} x 9 x 12

= 54cm^{2}

Samantha has $48 to spend on used video games. Single player games cost $6 each and multi player games cost $12 each. What equat
storchak [24]

Answer:

The equation is

6x + 12y = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form another way of writing a linear equation. It is in the form

Ax + By = C

Total amount with Samantha = $48

Single player games = $6 each

Multi player games = $12 each

Let

Number of Single player games = x

Number of Multi player games = y

The number of single player games (x) and the number of multi player games (y) Samantha can buy is

6x + 12y = 48

That is price × quantity of single player games + price × quantity of multi player games = Total amount with Samantha
