Check the picture below.
notice, it simply got mirrored over the vertical y-axis.
4x + 3y = 54 (1)
3x + 9y = 108 (2)
Multiply (1) by (-3)
-12x - 9y = -162
3x + 9y = 108
---------------------add
-9x = -54
x = 6
plug x = 6 into (1) to find y
4(6) + 3y = 54
24 + 3y = 54
3y = 30
y = 10
Answer
(6 , 10)
Hope it helps.
Answer:
Response 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Response 1 is the only wording that is self-consistent. Response 1 is the appropriate response.
___
Response 2 argues about angles, then concludes sides are congruent. This makes no sense.
Response 3 identifies congruent segments, but they are not opposite sides. The conclusion is unsupported.
Answer:
x = 3.25
y =4.75
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to Solve the following system of equations below algebraically using substitution method we say that;
let;
8x - 4y = 7
..................... equation 1
x + y = 8.......................... equation 2
from equation2
x + y = 8.......................... equation 2
x = 8 - y.............................. equation 3
substitute for x in equation 1
8x - 4y = 7
..................... equation 1
8(8-y) - 4y = 7
64-8y-4y=7
64-12y=7
collect the like terms
64-7 = 12y
57= 12y
divide both sides by the coefficient of y which is 12
57/12 = 12y/12
4.75 = y
y =4.75
put y = 4.75 in equation 3
x = 8 - y.............................. equation 3
x = 8 -4.75
x = 3.25
to check if your answer is correct, put the value of x and y in either equation 1 or 2
from equation 2
x + y = 8.......................... equation 2
3.25 + 4.75 =8
8=8.................... proved
-15 and -42 both add to -57 and multiply to 630
