Answer:
x=3, y=8; (3,8)
Step-by-step explanation:
To use the substitution method, first solve for a variable.
2x+y=14
2x+y(-2x)=14(-2x)
y=14-2x
Now substitute y in the other equation with 14-2x
5x-2(14-2x)= - 1
Simplify by multiplying inside the parenthesis.
5x-28+4x= - 1
Combine the x values
9x-28= - 1
9x=27
x=3
Now substitute the x value in to solve for y
2(3)+y=14
6+y=14
y=8

————————————————— = 0
(a + 3) • (a - 3)
3•(a+4)
——————————— • (a+3)•(a-3) = 0 • (a+3)•(a-3)
(a+3)•(a-3)
a+4 = 0
Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation :
a = -4
The answer is probably the first or second one. I made it easier for you
Answer:
B) 6.5 inches by 3.5 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiplying the actual dimensions by the scale gives the scale dimensions:
(0.5 in)/(6 ft) × {78 ft, 42 ft}
= {39/6 in, 21/6 in}
= {6.5 in, 3.5 in}
The size on the scale drawing is 6.5 inches by 3.5 inches.
