What is the solution for the system of equations? Use the substitution method to solve. 2x+y=20

2x + y = 20

-5y = -6x + 12


To use the substitution method, first isolate one of the variables in one of the equations.

Isolate the "y" in the first equation (because it is the easiest to isolate), and substitute it into the second equation:

2x + y = 20     Subtract 2x on both sides

y = 20 - 2x


-5y = -6x + 12   (since y = 20 - 2x, you can substitute 20 - 2x into y)

-5(20 - 2x) = -6x + 12       Multiply -5 into (20 - 2x)

-100 + 10x = -6x +12      Add 100 on both sides

10x = -6x + 112        Add 6x on both sides

16x = 112           Divide 16 on both sides

x = 7


Now that you have found x, you can substitute 7 into x for one of the original equations:

2x + y = 20

2(7) + y = 20

14 + y = 20    Subtract 14 on both sides

y = 6


-5y = -6x + 12

-5y = -6(7) + 12

-5y = -42 + 12

-5y = -30       Divide -5 on both sides

y = 6


x = 7, y = 6

Composite figure is made up of 4 triangles and a square.

Area of Square = Length x Length 
Area of Square = 12 x 12
Area of Square= 144 cm²

Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height
Area of triangle  = 1/2 x 12 x 8 
Area of triangle  = 48 cm²

Area of 4 Triangles = 48 x 4
Area of 4 Triangles = 192 cm²

Total Area = 144 + 192 = 336 cm² 

\Longrightarrow \boxed { \boxed { Answer : 336 cm^{2} }}

What is the value of f(4) in f(x)=3x-6
vodka [1.7K]
F(4) value is 6.
I believe it would work like this:
f(x) is being turned into f(4), so 4 would equal x. Put 4 into the equation 3x-6, and you get 12-6, which gives you 6. So the value of f(4) is 6. I hope this helps!
