\begin{cases}4x + 12 = -7y \\ -y + 12 = 4x \end{cases} \\ \\\begin{cases}4x + 7y = -12 \\ -4x-y =-12 \end{cases} \\+ ------- \\6y=-24\ \ /:6\\ \\y=-\frac{24}{6}\\ \\y=-4

4x+12=-7y\\ \\ 4x+12=-7*(-4)\\ \\4x=28-12\\ \\4x=16\ \ /:4\\ \\x=\frac{16}{4}\\ \\ x=4 \\ \\ \begin{cases}x=4 \\ y=-4 \end{cases}

Take the second equation and flip it around so the y on the left ends up on the right and the 4x on the right ends up on the left.  This makes all negatives positive and all positives negative.   -4x   + 12  = y 

Then add the first equation to the second equation 
4x   +12   = -7y
<u>-4x   + 12  </u>=<u> y </u>   this eliminates the x's
          <u>24</u> = -<u> 6y</u>            then divide by - 6
           - 6     - 6
         - 4    = y<u>

</u>So if you know that y = negative 4, you can substitute into either equation.  I pick the second one because I am a lazy person.  
  -y  + 12  = 4 x
-(-4) + 12 = 4 x     combine your numbers<u>
</u>   <u>  16     </u> = <u>4 x  </u>      then divide by 4<u>
</u>       4      =  x
So your solution is: x = 4 and y = -4 or this is also written (4, -4)

Does that work for you?

What is the area of the triangle?<br> 6<br> 2<br> 3
Llana [10]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of both triangles inside the bigger triangle and add them together.

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the missing length of the leg in the smallest triangle:

a² + b² = c²

2² + b² = 3²

4 + b² = 9

5 = b²

2.2 ≈ b

Calculate the area of the smaller triangle:

1/2(bxh)

1/2(2 x 2.2)

1/2(4.4)

2.2

Calculate the area of the bigger triangle:

<em>We know that the longer leg is 3.8 units because we were able to subtract the length of the smaller triangle's leg from 6. </em>

1/2(bxh)

1/2(2 x 3.8)

1/2(7.6)

3.8

Add both areas to find the area of the largest triangle:

3.8 + 2.2 = 6

Rewrite the following in the form log(c)<br> log(6)−log(3)
Genrish500 [490]
<h3>Answer:   log(2)</h3>

Explanation:

The rule to use here is log(x)-log(y) = log(x/y)

So,

log(6)-log(3) = log(6/3) = log(2)

ladessa [460]
$25.12

Work:

23.99+3.60=27.59

27.59-4.51=23.08

23.08+0.95=24.03

24.03+2.17=26.20

26.20-1.08=25.12
