What is the solution to this system of equations?x-2y=152x + 4y=-18​

Mathematics

Answer:

x = 3; y = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

 x - 2y =  15

2x + 4y = -18​

Multiply both sides of the first equation by 2. Write the second equation below it, and add the two equations.

     2x - 4y = 30

(+)  2x + 4y = -18

---------------------------

     4x         = 12

4x/4 = 12/4

x = 3

Now we substitute 3 for x in the first equation and solve for y.

x - 2y = 15

3 - 2y = 15

-2y = 12

y = -6

Answer: x = 3; y = -6

For each system of equations, drag the true statement about its solution set to the box under the system?
natta225 [31]

Answer:

y = 4x + 2

y = 2(2x - 1)

Zero solutions.

4x + 2 can never be equal to 4x - 2

y = 3x - 4

y = 2x + 2

One solution

3x - 4 = 2x + 2 has one solution

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The system of equation has zero number of solution if the coefficients

 of x and y are the same and the numerical terms are different

- The system of equation has infinity many solutions if the

   coefficients of x and y are the same and the numerical terms

   are the same

- The system of equation has one solution if at least one of the

  coefficient of x and y are different

* Lets solve the problem

∵ y = 4x + 2 ⇒ (1)

∵ y = 2(2x - 1) ⇒ (2)

- Lets simplify equation (2) by multiplying the bracket by 2

∴ y = 4x - 2

- The two equations have same coefficient of y and x and different

  numerical terms

∴ They have zero equation

y = 4x + 2

y = 2(2x - 1)

Zero solutions.

4x + 2 can never be equal to 4x - 2

∵ y = 3x - 4 ⇒ (1)

∵ y = 2x + 2 ⇒ (2)

- The coefficients of x and y are different, then there is one solution

- Equate equations (1) and (2)

∴ 3x - 4 = 2x + 2

- Subtract 2x from both sides

∴ x - 4 = 2

- Add 4 to both sides

∴ x = 6

- Substitute the value of x in equation (1) or (2) to find y

∴ y = 2(6) + 2

∴ y = 12 + 2 = 14

∴ y = 14

∴ The solution is (6 , 14)

y = 3x - 4

y = 2x + 2

One solution

3x - 4 = 2x + 2 has one solution

Your supposed to find the angle of the triangle but I know the answer 145 but I want to know how you get the answer
Inga [223]
A straight line adds up to 180
So the line opposite of 137 should add up to 180
This gives us the equation 137+x=180 then x=43

The triangle also adds up to 180 degrees
So 102+43+x=180
The equation can be simplified to 145+x=180 therefore x=35


So x+?=180  because it is a straight line.
We can substitute x in making the equation 35+?=180
Now we want to solve for the ? so we'll subtract 35 from each side 
This leaves us with the equation ?=145

So we now know that the ?=145
