What is the substitution of -6x-8y=-20 and x+6y=-6

Mathematics

Substitution doesn't work for this, but elimination does.

-6x-8y=-20 +6( x+6y=-6)

-6x-8y=-20 + 6x+36y=-36

-6x and 6x cancel each other, add -8 and 36 to get 28, and -20 and -36 to get -56.

28y=-56

divide by 28 on both sides.

Y= -2

Then substitute y into one of the equations.

x+6(-2)=-6

x-12=-6

x=6

The ordered pair is (6,-2).

I really am confused on how to write a proof.
kvasek [131]

Since ABCD is a parallelogram, the opposite sides will be parallel and equal,

\begin{gathered} AB=CD \\ BC=AD \end{gathered}

Consider that AC acts as a transversal to the parallel lines AB and CD, so we can write,

\begin{gathered} \angle CAD=\angle ACB\text{ (Alternate Interior Angles)} \\ BC=AD\text{ (Opposite sides of parallelogram)} \\ \angle ADB=\angle CBD\text{ (Alternate Interior Angles)} \end{gathered}

So by the ASA criteria, the triangle AED is congruent to the triangle CEB,

Then the corresponding parts of the triangles will be equal,

\begin{gathered} AE=CE \\ BE=DE \end{gathered}

Hence Proved.

(8x-11)-(15-x)=1 dont know where to start with it​
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

<em>x</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>3</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

First open the brackets. While opening brackets, you've to be careful about signs. So when you open bracket of <em>(</em><em>1</em><em>5</em><em>-</em><em>x</em><em>)</em>, there's <em>negative</em> sign in front of it, so it makes the signs inside the brackets to change. Then you solve the it.

An airplane flying with the wind can cover a certain distance in 2 hours. The return trip against the wind takes 2.5 hours. Find
Anna [14]

Answer:

Wind speed = 30 mph

Plane speed = 270 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Distance = 600 miles

Let speed of airplane = a ; speed of wind = b

Net speed ; with wind = a + b

Net speed against wind = a - b

Time taken with wind = 2 hours

Time taken against wind = 2.5 hours

Recall :

Speed = distance / time ; distance = speed * time

(a + b) * 2 = (a - b) * 2.5

2a + 2b = 600

a + b = 300 - - - (1)

a = 300 - b

2.5a - 2.5b = 600

a - b = 240 - - - (2)

300 - b - b = 240

300 - 2b = 240

-2b = - 60

b = 30

a = 300 - 30

a = 270

Wind speed = 30 mph

Plane speed = 270 mph
