Answer:

(2, -8)

Step-by-step explanation:

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

y = -2x - 4

+ y = 2x - 12

2y = -16

y = -8

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

y = 2x - 12

-8 = 2x - 12

(-8) + 12 = (2x - 12) + 12

4 = 2x

(4)/2 = (2x)/2

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

Help would be great! All I need to know is which one doesn’t belong you don’t need to write why it’s doesn’t belong.

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

There are two correct answers for this question depending on how you think of it.

3x or -3

Step-by-step explanation:

3x could be right because the rest of them are negative. But also on the other case -3 because the rest have x's and this one doesn't

Hope this helps :)

If im too late im so sorry...

Have a nice day!

What degree slope is a 16' ramp with a 35" rise

masha68 [24]

Answer:

10.5 Degree.

Step-by-step explanation:

The inclined length of the ramp is 16' i.e. 16 feet i.e. (16 × 12) = 192 inches.

And the rise of the ramp is 35" i.e. 35 inches.

We have to calculate the degree of slope from the above information.

If we consider the ramp as the hypotenuse of a right triangle, then the perpendicular height is 35 inches.

Then angle of slope is given by

$\sin \theta = \frac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse} = \frac{35}{192} = 0.182$

⇒ $\theta =\sin^{-1} (0.182)=10.5$ degree. (Answer)

I'm not sure to do this.. Help me please.. Thank you

Paraphin [41]

So our original equations would be..
$2y + 2(y - 4) = p \: (perimeter)$
$y \times (y - 4) = l \: (area)$

(a) perimeter in terms of y
$y = \frac{p + 8}{4}$

(b) area in terms of y
*I'm actually not sure about b.. sorry*

(c) if perimeter = 28, find length
$28 \div 4 = 7$
$7 \times 7 = 49$
$l (area)= 49$
