How to work -1x-2y=-13 x-2y=11 equation by substitution

1 answer:

5 0

Well if you're wanting to use substitution, you first have to end up with one term on either side of the equation. Use the second one as it's easiest.

So: x-2y=11, so find -2y as there is a -2y in the first equation.
then that becomes -2y=11-x. then sub that into equation 1, and you get:

-x+11-x=-13, which equals to -2x+11=-13, which is -2x=-24, so therefore

x=12. then chuck the x into any of the equations to find what y equals.

hope this helps!

Line CD bisects AB at point C. Find AC if AB = 56 feet

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

AC = 28 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Point C is the midpoint of AB, so AC is half the length of AB:

AB/2 = (56 ft)/2 = 28 ft = AC

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

22 is the largest number you are given in this diagram. 0 is the smallest. that would be your first step.

Next think about it as if you already know your midpoint, as in, midpoint being half of your ending value.

Lastly, you want to divide 22 in half, since midpoint is half of your line segment, and then answer you get is 11
