Answer: Decompose means the opposite, to take apart. In this lesson, the words composition and decomposition are used to describe how irregular figures can be separated into triangles and other polygons. The area of these parts can then be added together to calculate the area of the whole figure.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x= -2 and y= 3
Step-by-step explanation:
since x = 2y -8, substitute this in the first equation
Thus, -3(2y-8) + 2y =12
-6y+24+2y=12
-6y+2y=12-24
-4y=-12
y=3
put the value of y in the second equation,
x=2y-8
x=2(3)-8
x=6-8
x=-2
So, x=-2. y=3
Answer:
x = 54/7 y= -4/7
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x:
-8 (8 - x) = (4 (x + 10))/5
Multiply both sides by 5:
-8×5 (8 - x) = (5×4 (x + 10))/5
(5×4 (x + 10))/5 = 5/5×4 (x + 10) = 4 (x + 10):
-8×5 (8 - x) = 4 (x + 10)
5 (-8) = -40:
-40 (8 - x) = 4 (x + 10)
Expand out terms of the left hand side:
40 x - 320 = 4 (x + 10)
Expand out terms of the right hand side:
40 x - 320 = 4 x + 40
Subtract 4 x from both sides:
(40 x - 4 x) - 320 = (4 x - 4 x) + 40
40 x - 4 x = 36 x:
36 x - 320 = (4 x - 4 x) + 40
4 x - 4 x = 0:
36 x - 320 = 40
Add 320 to both sides:
36 x + (320 - 320) = 320 + 40
320 - 320 = 0:
36 x = 40 + 320
40 + 320 = 360:
36 x = 360
Divide both sides of 36 x = 360 by 36:
(36 x)/36 = 360/36
36/36 = 1:
x = 360/36
The gcd of 360 and 36 is 36, so 360/36 = (36×10)/(36×1) = 36/36×10 = 10:
Answer: x = 10
