Answer:

(2, -8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the two equations to solve.  The x-values are cancelled out.  Solve for y.

<em>    y = -2x - 4</em>

<u><em>+  y = 2x - 12</em></u>

<em> 2y = -16</em>

y = -8

Now, plug in the y-value into one of the equations to solve for x.

<em>y = 2x - 12</em>

<em>-8 = 2x - 12</em>

<em>(-8) + 12 = (2x - 12) + 12</em>

<em>4 = 2x</em>

<em>(4)/2 = (2x)/2</em>

x = 2

The solution is (2, -8).

Answer:

x=2, y = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

y=-2x-4

y=2x-12

-----------------

Subtract the two equations

y=-2x-4

-y=-2x+12

-----------------

0 = -4x +8

Subtract 8 from each side

-8 = -4x+8-8

-8 = -4x

Divide by -4

-8/-8 = -4x/-4

2 =x

Then solve for y

y = -2x-4

y = -2(2) -4

y = -4-4

y = -8

Which statement about the data is true?
Citrus2011 [14]
We can see from the given numbers in the data that there is an outlier. This means that mean or average is not a good measure of center. Also, there is no repeating number to give us the mode of the given. The answer is therefore, median is the only appropriate measure of center.

The measure of the supplement of an angle is 12 more than twice the measure of the angle. Find the measures of the angle and it'
astra-53 [7]
Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees-

Let x = "the angle"

supplement angle = 2x + 12 // 12 more than twice the measurement of "the angle"

Supplement angle + "the angle" = 180 degrees

(2x + 12) + x = 180 degrees // 2x + 12 is the supplement angle

3x + 12 = 180 //  Simplify

3x = 168 // Subtract 12 from both sides

x =  56 degrees // Divide both sides by 3

The measure of the angle is 56° and its supplement is 124°
