Answer: x = -1 , y = 8✔️

Step-by-step explanation:

-12x - 2y = -4 } Equation 1

6x + 3y = 18 } Equation 2

<em>We can extract the value of x from the equation 2: </em>

6x + 3y = 18 } Equation 2

6x = 18 - 3y

x = (18 - 3y)/6 } Equation 2

<em>Then we can substitute this value of x in equation 1: </em>

-12x - 2y = -4 } Equation 1

-12·(18 - 3y)/6 - 2y = -4

-36 + 6y -2y = -4

4y = -4 + 36

4y = 32

y = 32/4 = 8

<em>Now we can substitute this value of y in equation 2: </em>

x = (18 - 3y)/6 } Equation 2

x = (18 - 3·8)/6 = (18 -24)/6 = -6/6 = -1

Answer: x = -1 , y = 8✔️

<h3>Check </h3>

<em>We can check this result by substituting these values of x and y into the equations: </em>

-12x - 2y = -4 } Equation 1

-12·(-1) - 2·8 = -4 ► 12 - 16 = -4✔️ checked!

6x + 3y = 18 } Equation 2

6·(-1) + 3·8 = 18 ► -6 + 24 = 18✔️ checked!

A train travels 4.4 miles in

Ugo [173]

Answer:

63.8 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

If the train travels 4.4 miles in 4 minutes, then you have to divide 4.4/4 to find the miles the train travels per minute.

4.4/4 = 1.1

So, since the train travels 1.1 miles per minute, and we want to know how fast it travels in 58 minutes, we have to multiply 1.1 by 58. Since 1.1 is a decimal number, we have to multiply both sides by 10 to get 11x580.

11x580 = 5800+ 580 = 6380

Since we multiplied both numbers by 10, we have to divide 6380 by 100.

6380/100 = 63.8

So, the train travels 63.8 miles in 58 minutes.

The algebra tiles represent the perfect square trinomial x2 10x c. what is the value of c? c =

devlian [24]

The value of c for which the considered trinomial becomes perfect square trinomial is: 20 or -20

<h3>What are perfect squares trinomials?</h3>

They are those expressions which are found by squaring binomial expressions.

Since the given trinomials are with degree 2, thus, if they are perfect square, the binomial which was used to make them must be linear.

Let the binomial term was ax + b(a linear expression is always writable in this form where a and b are constants and m is a variable), then we will obtain:

$(ax + b)^2 = a^2x^2 + b^2 + 2abx$
