Answer: The solution is the ordered pair (1/2, -3/4) so x = 1/2 and y = -3/4 pair up together. The two lines, when graphed, cross at this location.
note: 1/2 = 0.5 and -3/4 = -0.75; so the intersection point can be written as (0.5, -0.75)
===================================================
Explanation:
The second equation has y isolated. We can replace the y in the first equation with the expression 1/2x - 1
3x + 2y = 0
3x + 2( y ) = 0
3x + 2( 1/2x - 1) = 0 ... y is replaced with 1/2x-1
3x + 2(1/2x) + 2(-1) = 0 .... distribute
3x + x - 2 = 0 .... note how 2 times 1/2 is 1
4x - 2 = 0
4x = 2
x = 2/4
x = 1/2
Use this x value to find the y value it pairs with
y = (1/2)*x - 1
y = (1/2)*(1/2) - 1 ... replace x with 1/2
y = 1/4 - 1
y = 1/4 - 4/4
y = (1-4)/4
y = -3/4

Answer:
Area of ΔDEF = 12 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
Since they are similar, we have to find the scale factor
Scale Factor = 
Scale Factor = 4/2
Scale Factor = 2
<u><em>This means The area of ΔABC is 2 times the area of ΔDEF</em></u>
So,
ΔABC = 2(ΔDEF)
Where Area of ΔABC = 24 in²
24 = 2(ΔDEF)
Dividing both sides by 2
=> Area of ΔDEF = 12 in²
Answer : 7.5 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
when the length of the shadow is 8ft, the actual height of the man = 5ft
8:5
let the giraffe be 'x' ft tall.
if the length of the shadow is 12ft, actual height = x ft
12:x
8:5 x 12:x
× 
x=
x=7.5 ft
Therefore, the giraffe is 7.5ft tall.

They only have 3 and two in common when you fully factor them. 3×2= 6
6 is the greatest common factor.
