Actually the formula for the area of a triangle is A = 1/2bh.
First step: multiply both sides by 2, to get rid of the 1/2.
2A = bh
Now divide both sides by b.
2A/b = h or h = 2A/b
A proportion is a statement that two ratios are equal
4 quarts are in a single gallon
The second equation is <span>-5-2y=2, then
</span>
<span>-2y=2-(-5),
</span>
-2y=2+5,
-2y=7,
y=7÷(-2),
y=-3.5.
The first equation is 2x+5y=16, subtitude y=-3.5 in this equation, then
2x+5·(-3.5)=16,
2x-17.5=16,
2x=16-(-17.5),
2x=16+17.5,
2x=33.5,
x=33.5÷2,
x=16.75.
Answer: (16.75,-3.5)
