Use Substitution or Elimination

1. pick one equation and solve for a variable

6p + 1m = 9

1m = 9-6p

m = 9 - 6p/ 1

m= 9-6p

2. substitute m into one of the equations given

4p + 2 ( 9-6p) = 10

4p + 18 - 12p = 10

4p - 12p = 10 - 18

-8p = -8 (divide both sides by -8)

p = 1

3. Insert p=1 into any of the equations

6p+1m = 9

6(1)+1m =9

6 + 1m = 9

1m = 9-6

1m= 3

m = 3

A. False
Why? Because you cut off the triangle. The measurements are 20 mm and 10 mm.
B. True
Why? Because 20*10 = 200
C. False
Why? Because the base is 6 since 26 - 20 is 6. The height is 4, not 6 because 10 - 6 is 4.
D. True
Why? Because like question C., the base is 6, and the height is 4. 6*4 is 24/2 = 12. If you don't get this, the formula for all triangles is b*h*1/2
E. True
Why? Because from questions B. and D., the area of the rectangle is 200 and the area of the triangle is 12. 200 + 12 = 210.
