For this question you are going to want to isolate a different variable in one of the first two and the third. Then you will plug those values into each other and then the reuslts into the third (I will show later). I will be using the 1st and the 3rd because those are the easiest.
-x-y-z = -8------> add y and z to both sides
-x = y + z - 8 -----> Divide both sides by -1
x = -y - z + 8

2x + 2z = 4 ----> Divide both sides by 2
x + z = 2 -----> Subtract x from both sides
z = -x + 2

x = -y - (-x + 2) + 8 ----> Now reisolate x by first simplying
x = -y + x -2 + 8 -----> Add
x = -y + x + 6 -----> Subtract x from both sides and add y to both sides
y = 6

Plug the values for y and z into the second equation and isolate x.
-4x + 4(6) + 5(-x+2) = 7 ----> Simplify
-4x + 24 -5x +10 = 7 ----> Combine like terms
-9x + 34 = 7 -----> Subtract 34 from both sides
-9x = -27 -----> Divide both sides by -9
x = 3

Plug x into the thirs equation and isolate z
2(3) + 2z = 4 ---> Simplify
6 + 2z = 4 ----> Subtract 6 from both sides
2z = -2 ----> Divide both sizes by 2
z = -1

Final Answers:
x = 3
y = 6
z = -1

Optional - Check your answer by plugging the values above back into the 1st equation.

-x-y-z = -8
-(3)-(6)-(-1) = -8
-3 - 6 + 1 = -8
-8 = -8

Hope this helps!

Solve pls brainliest
Goshia [24]

Hey there!

39 = - u / 6

MULTIPLY 6 to BOTH SIDES

39(9) = (-u / 6)(6)

CANCEL out: the RIGHT side

KEEP: the LEFT side because it helps solve for the u-value

NEW EQUATION: -u = 234

DIVIDE -1 to BOTH SIDES

-1u / -1 = 234 / -1

CANCEL out: -1 / -1 because it gives you 1

KEEP: 234 / -1 because it gives you the result of the u-value

NEW EQUATION: u = 234 / -1

SIMPLIFY IT!

u = -234

Therefore, your answer is: [u = -234]

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

In this diagram the big square is divided into 7 congruent small squares and two congruent triangles. The area of the shaded squ
Salsk061 [2.6K]
Since each square will have an area of 4 cm^2 because they are congruent, then let’s find the side length of them.

Square root of 4 is two

Each side is 2 cm. Since the unshaded triangle has 3 on the base and height, then it is same to assume that the triangle has a base of 6 cm (2 * 3) and a height of 6 cm.

The formula of the area of a triangle is:
1/2 ( base times height)

Let’s plug in some values

1/2(6 * 6)

Multiply

1/2 (36)

Divide

18

Since the triangles are also congruent, then the shaded side has the same area.

The shaded triangle has an area of 8 cm ^2
