Answer: The required solution to the given system of equation is (x, y) = (-8, -2).

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the solution of the following system of equations :

$y-x=6~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)\\\\y+x=-10~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)$

Adding equations (i) and (ii), we have

$(y-x)+(y+x)=6+(-10)\\\\\Rightarrow 2y=6-10\\\\\Rightarrow 2y=-4\\\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{-4}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow y=-2.$

Substituting the value of y in equation (i), we get

$y-x=6\\\\\Rightarrow x=y-6\\\\\Rightarrow x=-2-6\\\\\Rightarrow x=-8.$

Thus, the required solution to the given system of equation is (x, y) = (-8, -2).

To solve for any given number of variables, you need that number of equations to solve for all variables. When there are only two variables you only need to equations to solve for them both. You eliminate one variable at a time, order does not matter.

y-x=6 and y+x=-10

Since one equation has -x and the other +x, you can simply add the two equations together to eliminate x...

(y-x=6)+(y+x=-10)

y+y-x+x=6-10

2y=-4

y=-2, now you can use this value of y in either original equation to solve for x...

y-x=6, using y=-2 becomes:

-2-x=6

-x=8

x=-8

So the solution to the system of equations is the point (-8, -2)

You can always check by using these two values in the original equations...

y-x=6, -2--8=6, -2+8=6, 6=6

y+x=-10, -2+(-8)=-10, -2-8=-10, -10=-10

Answer:

48x² + 24x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Width = (4x + 1) in

Length = 3 *width = 3*(4x + 1) = 3*4x + 3*1

= (12x + 3) in

Area of rectangle = length * width

= (12x + 3) (4x + 1)

= 12x *4x + 12x *1 + 3*4x + 3*1

= 48x² + 12x + 12x + 3

= 48x² + 24x + 3

Ivan is painting 3 walls in his living room. Each wall measures 9 3/4 feet tall by 14 1/4 feet wide. Ivan needs to estimate the

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

The estimated area is $416\frac{13}{16}\ ft^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To estimate the area that Ivan will paint , calculate the area of one wall and then multiply by 3

step 1

Convert the dimensions to an improper fractions

$9\frac{3}{4}\ ft=\frac{9*4+3}{4}=\frac{39}{4}\ ft$

$14\frac{1}{4}\ ft=\frac{14*4+1}{4}=\frac{57}{4}\ ft$

step 2

Find the area of one wall

$(\frac{39}{4})*(\frac{57}{4})=\frac{2,223}{16}\ ft^{2}$

step 3

Multiply the area of one wall by 3

$(3)*\frac{2,223}{16}=\frac{6,669}{16}\ ft^{2}$

step 4

Convert to mixed number

$\frac{6,669}{16}=\frac{6,656}{16}+\frac{13}{16}=416\frac{13}{16}\ ft^{2}$

Which is the graph of the line LaTeX: y-2=3\left(x-1\right)y − 2 = 3 ( x − 1 )?

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation given takes the point-slope form which is, $y - b = m(x - a)$ . Where,

(a, b) = (x, y) coordinates of a point on the line.

m = slope of the line .

To find which graph has a line equation of $y - 2 = 3(x - 1)$ , look for the points which will give you something almost exactly as the equation if you substitute their values into $y - b = m(x - a)$ .

Let's consider option D.

We have a given point (1, 2). a = 1, b = 2.

Substitute these into $y - b = m(x - a)$

We have:

$y - (2) = m(x - (1))$

$y - 2 = m(x - 1)$

As you can see, this looks almost exactly as

$y - 2 = 3(x - 1)$ .

If you want to be certain that option D is the answer, find m by using the coordinates of any other point on the line and plug into $y - 2 = m(x - 1)$ to find m:

In graph D, let's take the points (0, -1)

$-1 - 2 = m(0 - 1)$
