<h2><u>
Answer:</u></h2>
x = 3
y = -8
<h2><u>
Step-by-step explanation:</u></h2>
x + y = -5
x - y = 11
Since the y's will cancel out, we don't need to modify the two equations in any way.
Now, just add the two equations.
x + x = 2x
y + (-y) = 0
-5 + 11 = 6
2x = 6
Divide by 2.
x = 3
To find y, plug 3 in as "x" in one of the two equations.
3 + y = -5
y = -8
Answer:
Adjust the compasses' width to the point Q. The compasses' width is now equal to the length of the line segment PQ.
Step-by-step explanation:
Start with a line segment PQ that we will copy. Mark a point R that will be one endpoint of the new line segment. Set the compasses' point on the point P of the line segment to be copied. Adjust the compasses' width to the point Q. The compasses' width is now equal to the length of the line segment PQ.
Let S be the first side.
Longest side is then 2S.
Third side is 2S-10.
Perimeter is sum of all three sides = S+2S+2S-10 = 75
=>
5S-10=75
5S=75+10=85
S=17
Therefore
S=17 is the first side.
Longest side is then 2S=2*17=34.
Third side is 2S-10=2*17-10=24.
Answer
IS 2/4
Step-by-step explanation:
1/3 = 4/12 1/4 = 3/12 4/12+3/12= 6/12 = 2/4
