The question would be SO much easier to answer if we could
SEE the graphed function, or even just its equation.
Answer:
x = 4, y = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
{2x - y = 11
{x + 3y = -5
You can use the substitution method by solving for x in the second equation:
x + 3y = -5
Subtract 3y from both sides:
x = -3y - 5
Now, substitute this value for x into the first equation:
2x - y = 11
2(-3y - 5) - y = 11
Distribute:
-6y - 10 - y = 11
Add 10 to both sides:
-6y - y = 21
Combine like terms:
-7y = 21
Divide both sides by -7:
<u>y = -3</u>
Next, substitute this value for x into the second equation:
x + 3y = -5
x + 3(-3) = -5
Multiply:
x - 9 = -5
Add 9 to both sides:
<u>x = 4</u>
By using a graphing calculator, the solutions are:
(-3, 4) and (1, 0)
Wouldn't the formula be a×b/2?
The answer would be 7,270.
Hope this helps, God bless.
