Hi there!
In order to use the elimination method, you have to create one variable that has the same coefficient. This is to be able to eliminate one variable and have a one variable equation (which you can then solve).
In your case, we'll have the "x" have the same coefficient by multiplying the top equation by 4 and the bottom equation by 2 :
4( -2x + 3y = -4) → -8x + 12y = -16
2( 4x - 2y = 16) → 8x - 4y = 32
Now that both of your equation have a variable with the same coefficient, you need to choose rather you need to add or subtract the equations in order to get rid of the variable (in this case we want to get rid of the "x").
In your case, you want to add both equation together which will give you :
8y = 16
Now that you only have one variable, all you need to do now is solve the equation for "y" :
8y = 16
Divide each side of the equation by 8
y = 2 → Your answer
There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)
Answer:
A) By using the Pythagorean Theorem, we will see that 
. If we simplify it, we will find that the hypotenuse of Δ
B) approximately 
Step-by-step explanation:
A) In all honesty, you don't really need to look at ΔACD at all for this one. Just use the Pythagorean Theorem (like previously stated) and solve!
***Pythagorean Theorem is 
B) Here, you can also use the Pythagorean Theorem! However this time, the equation will be, 
.
≈
Hope you do well on the rest of your math problems :D
Answer: 3 3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that for example 2/4=4/8 so it is multiplied by 2. In this problem the fractions are 2 2/4 and 6 1/8. We are subtracting so you would first multiply the fraction that’s going to subtracted from the other fraction 2 3/4= 2 6/8. Now that we have our fractions we can subtract 6 1/8-2 6/8 this would leave us with 3.375 which is equal to 3 3/8.
I have solved some examples in the picture
If anything is unclear let me know.

Answer:
because only two of it's sides are parallel
