Answer:

x= -0.66+0.33

Step-by-step explanation:

you already have what y equals, so the next step is to plug in the solution for y into 6x - 2y = - 4

-plug in y = 3x + 2 into 6x - 2y = - 4 through the y variable

-making the equation now 6x - 2(3x + 2) = - 4

-now solve for x by distributing -2 to 3x and +2

6x - 6x - 4 = - 4 ------> - 4 = - 4

6x - 2y = - 4 -----> 6x = - 4 + 2y -----> x = - 0.66 + 0.33

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6x - 2y = -4

y= 3x + 2

We see that y = 3x + 2 so we can use that value of Y everytime we see i in the other equation.

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

Now usually we'd we simply solve for X.

6x - 6x -4 = -4

This clearly does not work as we cannot get rid of X

Therefore, this system of equations has no solution we can find through substitution

Step-by-step explanation:

$\triangle HFM \sim \triangle PST... (Given) \\\\\therefore \frac{HF}{PS} = \frac{FM}{ST} = \frac{HM}{PT}...(csst) \\ \\ \therefore \frac{30}{PS} = \frac{35}{ST} = \frac{45}{9}\\ \\ \therefore \frac{30}{PS} = \frac{35}{ST} = \frac{5}{1} \\ \\ \therefore \frac{30}{PS} = \frac{5}{1} \\ \\ \therefore PS = \frac{30}{5} \\ \\\boxed{ \therefore PS = 6 }\\ \\ \because \: \frac{35}{ST} = \frac{5}{1} \\ \\ \therefore \: ST = \frac{35}{5} \\ \\ \boxed{\therefore \: ST = 7} \\ \\ perimeter \: of \: \triangle PST \\ = 9 + 7 + 6 \\ = 22 \: units$
