If 8x−4y=20 and 4x−8y=4, what is the value of x−y?

Mathematics
1 answer:
____ [38]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the system:

8x−4y=20

4x−8y=4

Reduce the first equation by dividing every term by -2:

-4x + 2y = -10

and then combine this result with the second equation:

4x−8y=4

-4x + 2y = -10

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

      -6y = -6, and so y = 1.  

According to the first equation, if y = 1, then 4x - 8 = 4, or x = 3.

Then x = 3 and y = 1.

So, finally, x - y = 3 - 1 = 2

Midsegment of triangle <br> Find X
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

10 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

This is what is called the Midsegment Theorem, which states that the relation of a triangle's midpunkt is parallel to the triangle's third side, and the mid-segment length is half the third side length, so you would take half of 4x + 20 and set that expression equal to the midsegment:

2x + 10 = 3x

-2x - 2x

____________

10 = x

You then plug this back into both expressions above to get the double-segment of 60 and the mid-segment of 30. We can tell this is correct because 30 and 60 are relatively proportional to each other.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
