What is the answer for 6x-12y=24,-x-6y=4?

1 answer:

6 0

6x - 12y = 24 ⇒ 6x - 12y = 24
-x - 6y = 4 ⇒ -2x - 12y = 8
8x = 16
8 8
x = 2
-x - 6y = 4
-(2) - 6y = 4
-2 - 6y = 4
+ 2 + 2
-6y = 6
-6 -6
y = -1
(x, y) = (2, -1)

What times what equals -30 but also can be added together and equal -4

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

xy=-30

y=-30/x

x+y=-4

x-30/x=-4

x²-30=-4x

x²+4x-30=0

$x^2+4x-30=0\\x=\frac{-4\pm\sqrt{16+120} }{2} \\=\frac{-4\pm\sqrt{136} }{2} \\=-2\pm\sqrt{39} \\=-2+\sqrt{39} ,-2-\sqrt{39} \\y=\frac{-4}{-2+\sqrt{39} } ,\frac{4}{2+\sqrt{39} }$ $correction write ~-30 ~in~place~of~-4~in~the~end$

Simply the product -7x/5y * 5x/-7

ch4aika [34]

We are asked to simplify the expression $\frac{-7x}{5y} \cdot \frac{5x}{-7}$ ,

what we do is, we form a single fraction where the numerator is the product of the numerators, and the denominator is the product of the denominators, that is:

$\frac{-7x}{5y} \cdot \frac{5x}{-7}= \frac{-7\cdot5 \cdot x \cdot x}{5 \cdot(-7) \cdot y}$

simplify the common numbers and terms in the numerator and denominator:

$\frac{-7\cdot5 \cdot x \cdot x}{5 \cdot(-7) \cdot y}=\frac{5 \cdot x \cdot x}{5 \cdot y}=\frac{x \cdot x}{y}= \frac{ x^{2} }{y}$

Answer: $\frac{ x^{2} }{y}$
