X+2y=-6-----> -1x-2y=-6
x-y=3 ----->        x-y=3
                          -3y/-3=-6/-3
                            y=2
x+2(2)=-6, multiply, then subract to both sides

Since one equation has a negative y and the other has a positive y, I'm going to use those since they cancel each other out. Before that, the two y's need to be equal to each other.

x+2y=6
x-y=3

Multiply the bottom equation by two so then you have:

x+2y=6
2x-2y=6

The y's now cancel out:

x=6
2x=6

Add them together

3x=12

Divide

x=4.

To find y, plug x into either equation (*don't have to do both, but I will)

(4)+2y=6
(4)-y=3

Subtract four

2y=2
-y=-1

Divide each

2y/2 = 2/2
y=1

-y/-1 = -1/-1
y=1

The answer is:
x=4
y=1

I hope that helps!

How to find the point-slope form for the slope of 6 and passing through(-7,1)​
MariettaO [177]

Answer: y-1=6(x+7)

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for point-slope form is y-y_1=m(x-x_1). Since we are given the point and slope, we can directly plug them in.

y-1=6(x-(-7))            [distribute by -1]

y-1=6(x+7)

Now, we know that the point-slope form is y-1=6(x+7).

Carolyn is building a pen for a dog. The PERIMETER of the pen is 52 ft. The material is sold by the yard. It is 10.99 dollars pe
Mazyrski [523]
     We know that the fence is 52 <em>feet</em> long, but since it's sold in yards, we need to somehow convert feet to yards.
     First, we need to find a little something called a conversion factor. Basically, we need to see what we can do to get from <em>one foot</em> to <em>one yard</em>. 
Well, how many feet are there in a yard? <em><u>3.</u></em><u /><u /> So now we know that <em><u>one foot is 1/3 of a yard.</u>
</em>     
So to convert 52ft to yards, we need to divide by 3. What's 52 divided by 3? 
17.33.
Now we just need to multiply that by 10.99 so that we can find out the cost.
We get 190.45. That's your answer!

It all cost <em>$190.45
</em>
