Solving by elimination -6x+6y=6 -6x+3y=-12

So elimination method is basically adding the equations and canceling out variables.
-6x + 6y = 6
-6x + 3y = -12
The eaiest way to solve is by multiplying the bottom equation by -1.
-6x + 6y = 6
6x - 3y = 12
Now you add the eqautions.
3y = 18
Divde 3 from both sides.
y = 6
Now plug in 6 into any of the original two equations. Lets use the first one.
-6x + 6(6) = 6
-6x + 36 = 6
Subtract 36 from both sides.
-6x = -30
Divide -6 from both sides.
x = 5
So your solution is (5, 6).
I hope this helps love! :)

What is the vertex of the function f (x) = x^2 + 16x?

Tju [1.3M]

f(x) = x^2 + 16x

Completing the square.

f(x) = a(x-h)^2 + k

f(x) = (x + 8)^2 - 64

h = -8, k = -64

Vertex = (h,k)

Vertex = (-8, -64)

Not fully explained, just a quick summary.

Find the missing side length of the right triangle. show work.

motikmotik

Answer:

6.32

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the side length on a right angled triangle we follow The Pythagorean Theorem:

${a}^{2} + {b}^{2} = {c}^{2}$

c being the hypothesis (longest side: the hypotenuse is always opposite the right angle)

so..

${6}^{2} + {2}^{2} = {x}^{2} \\ 36 + 4 = {x}^{2} \\ 40 = {x}^{2} \\ \sqrt{40} = \sqrt{ {x}^{2} } \\$

$6.32 = x$
