Answer:
x = -6/5
y =7/5
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + y = - 1
x - 2y = - 4
Multiply the first equation by 2 so we can eliminate y
2(2x + y = - 1)
4x + 2y = -2
Add this to the second equation
4x + 2y = -2
x - 2y = - 4
---------------------
5x + 0y = -6
Divide by 5
5x/5 = -6/5
x = -6/5
Multiply the second equation by -2 so we can eliminate x
-2(x - 2y = - 4)
-2x+4y = 8
Add this to the first equation
2x + y = - 1
-2x+4y = 8
---------------------
0x + 5y = 7
Divide by 5
5y/5 = 7/5
y =7/5
Answer:
$1,800
Step-by-step explanation:
If Michael works 30 hours a week for $15 an hour we can use the equation:
15 x 30 = 450.
Now just multiply the given answer by 4 and you're left with:
450 x 4 = 1800.
-converting to a common denominator
The terms -c of the left side was converted to -4ac/4a to have the same denominator of b^2/4a.
