-2x+4y=1
 3x-6y=9
To find x
First, change the second equation to slope equation.
Next, you will get -6y=3x+ 9 and divide everything by -6. -6y/-6 = 3x/-6 + 9/-6
Then, simplify and you will get y= -1/2x-3/2.
After that, replace the y=-1/2x-3/2 from the second equation and replace the y with (-1/2x-3/2).
Then, use the -2x from the first equation, add 4 and put one of the parentheses after 4 and put down -1/2x-3/2, put another parentheses after -1/2x-3/2, and put the equal sign (=) and after the equal sign, put 1.
Lastly, your equation will look like -2x+ 4(-1/2x-3/2) = 1. Do -2x + 4 and then, multiply the 4 with (-1/2x-3/2). The equation with look like -2x+-4/2x-12/2 = 1.
Simplify the fractions (-4/2x and 12/2) and you will get -2x and 6.
The equation will look like -2x+-2x-6=1 and then, add 6 to the left side of = and the right side of =.
Add -2x and -2x together, it will get you to -4x=-7, and divide -4 on each side.
It will look like this -4x/-4=7/-4. Your answer for x is -1 3/4 or -1.75. I'd rather go with the decimal instead of fraction.
To find y
First, use the second equation.
Next, write down 3 and replace the x with -7/4 in parentheses because I'd rather use an improper fraction instead of a decimal. After the parentheses, subtract the -6y and put =9.
Then, the equation will look like 3/1(-7/4) -6y = 9. Distribute by multiplying 3/1 and -7/4 which will get you to -21/4.
After that, multiply 4/1 to the entire equation. It will look like 4/1(-21/4 -6y = 9). The equation will look like -21 -24y= 36. Add the -21 to  both sides of the equation. You will get to -24y = 57. Divide -24y by -24 and 57 by -24. It will look like -24y/-24 = 57/-24. You will get the answer of -57/24, but you have to simplify the answer. If you divide by 3 to the numerator and denominator, you will get -19/8. However, I do prefer the decimal answer, which is -2.37.
Lastly, put the ordered pair together, since x= -1.75 and y= -2.37. Your answer will start with parentheses and then x and end with y and another parentheses, but in between x and y there's always a comma. So, your official answer is (-1.75, -2.37).

which set of number could represent the length of the sides of a right triangle? A 9 11 14 B 15 18 21 C 7 24 25 D 8 9 10
EastWind [94]
Common Pythagorean triples include
  (3, 4, 5)
  (5, 12, 13)
  (7, 24, 25)
  (9, 40, 41)
The only Pythagorean triple that is an arithmetic sequence is (3, 4, 5), so any arithmetic sequence that is a Pythagorean triple must be a multiple of that, such as (9, 12, 15) or (15, 20, 25).

The arithmetic sequences of selections B and D are unrelated to the (3, 4, 5) triple, so cannot be Pythagorean triples. For selection A, we know that 9² + 11² = 81 + 121 = 202 > 14², so that is not a right triangle.

The appropriate selection is ...
  C. 7, 24, 25
