Use the elimination method:

-4x - 2y = -12
+4x + 8y = -12
--------------------
 0  + 6y = -24

6y = -24
6y/6 = -24/6
y = -4

Plug in -4 for y in one of the equations
-4x - 2y = -12
-4x - 2(-4) = -12
-4x + 8 = -12
-4x + 8 (-8) = -12 (-8)
-4x = -20
-4x/-4 = -20/-4
x = 5

x = 5, y = -4

hope this helps

Elimination method is best because one equation has 4x and the other has -4x. Add the two equations together.

 -4x - 2y = -12
+4x + 8y = -24
----------------------
   0 + 6y = - 36

divide by 6 both sides 
y = -6 

use this to find x in either equation.
4x + 8(-6) = -24
4x  - 48 = -24
4x = -24 + 48
4x = 24
x = 6

Jenny made $315.25 for 8 hours of work. How much would Jenny make for 40 hours of work
bagirrra123 [75]
If Jenny made $315.25 for 8 hours of work:

Then it means that she made:
$312.25/8 hours = $39.41 per hour.

If Jenny works for 40 hours, then she will make:

40 hours × $39.41 = $1,576.25

Find the measure of the exterior angle.
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

120 degrees! (line) or 300.

Step-by-step explanation:

All lines are 180 degrees, this triangle is congruent, so all sides are 60 degrees. 180 minus 60 is 120.

If it's a measure of a 360 degree angle, using 2 lines from the triangle, then you take 60 away from 360. A circle formed with that angle at it's radius would be 300 degrees.
