Divide the first equation by 2 and add the result to the second equation. This will eliminate x.
... (-4x -2y)/2 + (2x +4y) = (-12)/2 +(-12)
... 3y = -18 . . . . . collect terms
... y = -6 . . . . . . . divide by 3
Substitute this into either equation to find x. Let's use the second equation, where the coefficient of x is positive.
... 2x +4(-6) = -12
... 2x = 12 . . . . . . . . add 24
... x = 6 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2
The solution is (x, y) = (6, -6).
Answer: hello your question is poorly written attached below is the complete question
answer:
--- ( option d )
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct option that represents a square root of 3 as related to the question attached below is :

Answer:
0.6 cups of sugar and 1.25 cups of chocolate chips
Step-by-step explanation:
We can begin to solve this problem with a simple proportion:
=
= 
(x = the new # of sugar y = new # of chocolate chips)
In order to keep everything proportional, we must abide by the scale factor shown with the the flour.
Basically, if we're going to use three times the amount of flour we actually need, then we need to triple all our other ingredients.
We can see that the scale factor is one half, so
x = 1.2 * 0.5
and
y = 2.5 * 0.5
This means that:
x = 0.6
y = 1.25
This means that he has to use 0.6 (or 3/5) cups of sugar and 1.25 (or 9/8) cups of chocolate chips.
Hmm,
ok,
complete square ok
wait wat
he went from
(x-3)²=16 to
x-3=16
?????
he square rooted the left side only
he has to do it to both sides
he should have done
(x-3)²=16
x-3=+/-4
x=3+/-4
x=7 or -1
