Answer:
x=0
y= -1
Step-by-step explanation:
x−2y=2 - eq 1
3x+2y=−2 - eq 2
x−2y=2
(3x+2y)+(x−2y)=−2+2
x−2y=2
3x+2y+x−2y=0
x=0
y= -1
Since -5 and -5 are the same number, they are on the same y axis so the only distance we need to calculate is between the X coordinates.
When looking for distance, you can not have a negative. what |-3|+|9| is looking for is the distance from 0 on the X axis. since distance can't be negative, (you go 3 miles away from your house in one direction, vs 3 miles in the opposite. both ways is positive, even with opposite directions. same with axis, it doesnt matter which way, only the number.) you need the absolute value of -3 to get the distance from the 0 on the x axis.
short version: distance is positive, and its adding the distances from the x axis to get distance from each other
The answer is -1/4 I’m in 11th grade trust me
