You can start by multiplying the first equation by twelve, by doing this you get whole numbers. This yields:
4x + 3y =12
2x - 3y = -30
As you can see, you have two terms that only differ in sign.
By adding both equations together you get this:
6x=-18 or x=-3
The reason why you can add these equations together is illustrated in the next example:
4=x
5=y
4+5=x+y
Simple no?
Now that you now x you can substitute the value in one of the equations and you get the y value:
4*-3 + 3y =12
-12 + 3y =12
3y= 24
y=8
Answer:
45 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
the right angle is 90 degrees and one angle is 45 degrees and 90+45=135 and 180-135=45 so 45 degrees is the missing angle
Answer:
subtract 2.5 on both sides
Answer:
60 trucks
Step-by-step explanation:
2x12=24
5x12=60
60+24=84 total vehicles
60 of them are trucks.
