The correct answer is A: x=2 and y=-3. Either method would work, but for example, let's use elimination. If you multiply the second equation by 5, you get: 10x +5y = 5. When you add both equations, you can then cross out both y terms. You are left with one equation that reads: 13x=26. Solving for x gives you 2. You can substitute 2 in for x in either equation and you will receive -3 for your y value.
Since BE bisects angle ABC, you know that angles ABE and EBC are congruent and have the same measure. This means
2x + 20 = 4x - 6
Solve for x:
(2x + 20) - 2x + 6 = (4x - 6) - 2x + 6
26 = 2x
26/2 = 2x/2
13 = x
Then angle ABE has measure 2*13 + 20 = 46º.
204 /6 = 34
29 +31 +33 + 35 +37 +39 = 207
4th number = 35
Area = 3.14*(12.5^2 - 3.5^2)/4 =113.04
