Answer:

x=17

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+3y=1

y=-2-9

  • In order to combine these two equations, an idea you need to keep in mind is finding a way of setting these equations as equal to each other. I saw that each equation shared a common value, y. In this case, we need to isolate y in the first equation so that both equations =y.

2x+3y=1

3y=-2x+1

\frac{3y}{3}=\frac{-2x+1}{3}

y=-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}

  • With this, we now know that both -2-9 and -\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3} are equal to y, so we can set them equal to each other.

y=-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}

y=-11

-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}=-11

  • Reply to this if anything I'm saying or doing is confusing in any way, or if you find a mistake. :) Solve for x.

-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}=-11

-\frac{2}{3}x=-11-\frac{1}{3}

-\frac{2}{3}x =-\frac{33}{3}-\frac{1}{3}

-\frac{2}{3}x =-\frac{34}{3}

-\frac{2}{3}x(-\frac{3}{2})=-\frac{34}{3}(-\frac{3}{2})

x=\frac{102}{6}=17

x=17

  • Hopefully this answer is correct AND makes sense in terms of how I achieved it. Again, reply to this with any questions or mistakes I made and I'll do my best to answer or fix them.

The area of a square garden is 1/36 mi 2 how long is each side<br><br>​
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

1/6 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the side length be x.

Then the area of the square = x^2

∴ x^2 = 1/36

√(x^2) = √(1^2 / 6^2)

x        = 1/6

Therefore, the side length is 1/6 meters.

Hope it helped you!!!
