Solve the following systems of equations algebraically using elimination -2x+4y=4 3x-4y=2

Hey there!

When solving systems of equations by elimination, what we do is we remove one variable by combining the equations and then we solve for one variable.

How does this work?

Well, let's say we have 2x in one equation and 2x in the other equation. If we combine the equations, it will simply be 4x! What we need to do is multiply one of the equations by -1, which will make one of the 2x's and -2x. Then, if we combine the two equations, our x's will be cancelled out and we can solve for y.

In this case, we don't need to change any of the equations because we have 4y in one equation and -4y in the other, so we will just add the equations and then solve for x.

-2x+4y=4

+

3x-4y=2

=

x=6

Now, we plug this into one of our equations to find y.

18-4y=2

-4y=-16

y=4

Therefore, our solution is x=6 and y=4.

I hope this helps!

The third term of an arithmetic sequence is 21, and the eighth term is 56. The first term is _____.
aleksley [76]
The first term is 7. This is because the sequence has a pattern of increasing by 7. If the first term was 7, the second would be 14, the third would be 21. The 4th would be 28, continue to the 8th term 56.

The value of x is 2 and the length of JK is 4

<h3>How to solve the unknown variables?</h3>

The given parameters from the circle are:

  • Center = Point S
  • Segment JK = 8
  • Segment LK = 2x + 4
  • Congruent SN = SP = 7

The lines SR and SQ are the radii of the circle P

This means that lines JK and JL are congruent

So, we have:

JK = KL

Substitute LK = 2x + 4 and JK = 4

4 = 2x + 4

Rewrite the above equation as:

2x + 4 = 8

Subtract 4 from both sides

2x + 4 - 4 = 8 - 4

Evaluate the difference

2x = 4

Divide both sides by 2

2x = 4/2

This gives

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 in LK = 2x + 4

LK = 2*2 + 4

Evaluate the product of 2 and 2

LK = 4 + 4

This gives

LK = 8

The point N divides JK into 2 equal segments

So, we have

JN = JK/2

JN= 8/2

JN = 4

Hence, the value of x is 2 and the length of JK is 4

Option B) Determine the volume of the cake V= πr²h and divide that amount by 18

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

  • It is given that, the birthday cake is in the shape of the cylinder.
  • Therefore, to find the entire volume of the cake, the volume of the cylinder formula is used.

<u>The volume of the cylinder is given by,</u>

Volume of the birthday cake = πr²h

After that, it was asked to find the volume of each piece of the cake.

In this case, the birthday cake is cut into 18 pieces.

We already know the total volume of the birthday cake which is πr²h.

In order to find the volume of each piece of cut cake, the total volume must be divided by the number of parts it has been cut into pieces.

Here, the whole part of the cake is 1.

The number of parts it has been divided after it is made into pieces = 18 parts.

Therefore, the volume of the birthday cake must be divided by 18 to get the volume of each piece of cake.

Option B) Determine the volume of the cake V= πr²h and divide that amount by 18 is correct.
