Answer:

The answer is that x = 6 and y = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find these values, we can use elimination. To do so, we multiply the first equation by 2 and then add the equations together.

4x + 8y = -24

-4x - 2y = -12

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

6y = -36

y = -6

Now that we have this value, we can plug the value into one of the originals and find x.

2x + 4y = -12

2x + 4(-6) = -12

2x - 24 = -12

2x = 12

x = 6

There are nine squares in a 3 x 3 square grid. Four of them will be painted white, how many will be painted black?

amid [387]

Answer:

5 squares will be painted black.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 9 squares, and 4 of them will be painted white, so that means that the remaining squares will be painted black. 9-4=5, so 5 squares will be painted black.

Hope this helped! :)

alexandrea and imani each think of a number. alexandras number is 8 more than Imanis number. the sum of two numbers is 50. what

juin [17]

Alexandera=a
imani=i

a is 8 more than i or
a=8+i

the sum of the 2 numbers is 50 or
a+i=50

a=8+i
so subsitute 8+i for a in a+i=50
8+i+i=50
8+2i=50
subtract 8 from both sides
2i=42
divide both sides by 2
i=21

subsiutte into a=8+i

a=8+21
a=29

a=29
i=21

Find the value of x so that the function has the given value.

nataly862011 [7]

For h(x) = -7x + 10, x =1

For r(x) = 4/5x+ 7 , x = -15

Step-by-step explanation:

in order to find the value of x on which the functions will have given values, we will put the functions equal to the given values

So,

h(x) = -7x + 10; h(x) = 3

$h(x) = -7x+10\\3 = -7x+10\\3-10 = -7x+10-10\\-7 = -7x$
