Substitution:
2x + (6(1/2x - 6)) = 19
2x + 3x - 36 = 19
5x - 36 = 19
+ 36
5x = 55
÷ 5
x = 11
y = (1/2 × 11) - 6
y = 5.5 - 6
y = -0.5
Elimination:
y = 1/2x - 6
- y
0 = 1/2x - 6 - y
+ 6
1/2x - y = 6
3x - 6y = 36
2x + 6y = 19
(add)
5x = 55
÷ 5
x = 11
y = (1/2 × 11) - 6
y = 5.5 - 6
y = -0.5
I hope this helps! Let me know if you need me to explain why I did some things :)
Im not so sure but, 3x2=6; 2x3=6; 6+6=12
<u>Answer:</u>
12 units
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
We are given these two points, (-7,-6) and (5,-6), and we are to find the distance between them.
We know the formula for finding the distance between two points:
<em>Distance =
</em>
So putting in the values of the given coordinates in the above formula to get:
Distance =
= 
Therefore, the distance between the two given points is 12 units.
