Good morning ☕️

Answer:

<h2>(-2 , 3)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

It’s easier to isolate y in the first equation because the coefficient of y there is just 1.

the coefficient of x in the first equation is -3 and in the second equation is 2 then it’s not easy to isolate x in both equation.

solving the system:

−3x + y = 9

2x + 4y = 8

⇔

y = 3x + 9  (*)

2x + 4y = 8

now, we substitute y by 3x + 9 in equation 2:

2x + 4(3x + 9) = 8  ⇔ 14x + 36 = 8 ⇔ 14x = - 28 ⇔ x = -28/14 = -2

at this stage we substitute x by -2 in (*) to get y:

y = 3x + 9 ⇒ y = 3(-2) + 9 = -6 + 9 = 3

finally, the solution of the system is the ordered pair (-2 , 3).

A circle with radius of 6 cm sits inside a circle with a radius of 9 cm, what is the area of the shaded region?
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

128.8cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

area of circle with radius 6cm = π6^2

area of circle with radius 9cm = π9^2

shaded region is equal to π9^2 - π6^2

which is 41π

therefore the shaded region is = 128.8cm^2
