Answer:x=8 and y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find 2x-4y=8 and 3x+6y=36

Solve simultaneously

Using elimination method

6x-12y=24

6x+12y=72

To eliminate x

-24y=-48

Divide through by -24

y=2

To get x

Substitute for y in equation 1

2x-4(2)=8

2x=8+8

2x=16

Divide through by x

x=8

Answer:

$x=-0.5 \pm -i\sqrt{2}$

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Algebra I

Standard Form: ax² + bx + c = 0
Quadratic Formula: $x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

Algebra II

Imaginary Roots: √-1 = i
Standard Form: a + bi

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

-4x² - 4x - 9 = 0

a = -4

b = -4

c = -9

Step 2: Find roots

Substitute: $x=\frac{4\pm\sqrt{(-4)^2-4(-4)(-9)} }{2(-4)}$
Exponents: $x=\frac{4\pm\sqrt{16-4(-4)(-9)} }{2(-4)}$
Multiply: $x=\frac{4\pm\sqrt{16-144} }{-8}$
Subtract: $x=\frac{4\pm\sqrt{-128} }{-8}$
Factor: $x=\frac{4\pm \sqrt{-1} \cdot \sqrt{128} }{-8}$
Simplify: $x=\frac{4\pm 8i\sqrt{2} }{-8}$
Factor: $x=\frac{4(1\pm 2i\sqrt{2}) }{-8}$
Divide: $x=\frac{1\pm 2i\sqrt{2}}{-2}$
Expand: $x=\frac{-1}{2} \pm \frac{-2i\sqrt{2} }{2}$
Simplify: $x=\frac{-1}{2} \pm -i\sqrt{2}$
Evaluate: $x=-0.5 \pm -i\sqrt{2}$

Sally designs web pages. She charges $140 per web page. She also needs to pay

dolphi86 [110]

You will take 140 times 5 since that is the amount she made so you times it buy the price she earns then after you do that subtract it buy 650 since that is what you have to pay
140 x 5 = 700
700 - 650 = 50
so she made a profit of 50
