Solve the system using elimination.<br> 2x + 18y = -9<br> 4x + 18y = -27
Elan Coil [88]

First, let's cancel out the x by multiplying 2x + 18y = -9 by -2.

-2 ( 2x + 18y = -9) = -4x -36y = 18

Then, we combine the two equations.

-4x + 4x = 0

18y - 36y = -18y

-27 + 18 = -9

Our new equation is -18y = -9.

Now, divide both sides by -18.

-18y / -18 = y

-9/ -18 = 1/2

y = 1/2

We can plug in a value for y since y = 1/2 now.

Let's use 2x + 18y = -9

Plug in y.

2x + 18(1/2) = -9

2x + 9 = -9

Then, subtract 9 from both sides.

2x = -18

Divide by 2.

2x/2 = x

-18/2 = -9

x = -9

Lastly, we can plug in both x and y values to see it works.

2(-9) + 18(1/2) = -9

-18 + 9 = -9

Therefore, the values of x and y does work.

x = -9

y = 1/2

-12 + 4 3/5 = -7.4 <--- decimal.

-6 2/7 + 3 1/14 = 3 3/14 <--- repeating decimal.

-2 2/3 + -3 3/4 = -6 5/12 <--- repeating decimal.

If ABCD is an isosceles trapezoid, what is the value of x
Grace [21]

Answer:

Since we know that ABCD is an isosceles trapezoid, we can also asume that its diagonals have the same length, which means:

AC = BD

=> 7x - 21 = 5x + 13

=> 7x - 5x = 21 + 13

=> 2x        = 34

=> x           = 34/2 = 17

So the answer is C.
