The answer is that y is equal to -3 and x is equal to 7 
2x-y=17
-2(x-y)=10 )
--------------
2x-y=17
-2x+2y=-20
----------------
y=-3

x-y=10 
x-(-3)=10
x+3=10
 -3   -3
----------
x=7

For the first one:

m is the slope, or how much the line goes up compared to goes right.  In this case, the line goes up 40 every time it goes right 10.  We write this as a fraction so 40/10, which simplifies to 4.  Therefore the equation would be y = 4x.

How do you work this out?
Katarina [22]
Because ABCD is a rectangle, the length of CD is 12 cm.

We need to determine the length of DE.  If we can do that, then the sum of the lengths of CD and DE represents the unknown:  the length of CE.

To find the length of CE, we have to "solve" the upper triangle.

Here's an outline of what to do:

1.  Show that BC=AD and find the length.
2.  Note that angle CAD is 60 degrees.  Why?
3.  Note that angle EAD is 30 degrees.  Why?
4.  Find the length of ED
5.  Add ED and DC, that is, ED + 12 cm.  This is your answer.

Please ask questions if need be.
