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!

Quadrilateral ABCD is similar to quadrilateral EFGH. Find the measure of side EF
garri49 [273]

Answer:

EF = 6.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since ABCD is similar to EFGH, then EH is similar to AD. So, we can solve by first dividing 12 by 2 (EH by AD). The quotient of this is 6. This tells us that quadrilateral EFGH is 6 times larger than quadrilateral ABCD, since they are similar. So, with this and the measurement of AB (which is similar to EF), we can now solve for EF. We simply multiply 1.1 (the measurement of AB) by 6 (how many times larger EFGH is compared to ABCD). The product of this is 6.6, our final answer.

The Cooper family is driving 236.5 miles to visit their relatives. In the first three hours, they drive 69.4 miles in the first
Softa [21]

Answer:

29.7

Step-by-step explanation:

The remaining distance is the total distance less the distance driven so far:

... 236.5 -69.4 -67.9 -69.5 = 29.7

Write an equation in point slope form for the line with a slope of 3 passes through (1,2)
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

y-2=3(x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of a line is given as:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Where

m is the slope

x_1 is the x-coordinate of the point given (passing through the line)

y_1 is the y-coordinate of the point given (passing through the line)

Now,

Given,

Slope = m = 3

x_1 = 1

y_1 = 2

Now, we simply plug these into the formula for point-slope form of a line:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\y-2=3(x-1)

This is the point-slope form.
