Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Calling it blocks is a little weird. but a good way to do it is to move left or right until you are over or below where you want to go then move up or down accordingly. Each move, left, right up or down will count as one block.
So from the fire station you go 1 to the right and then 6 down, for a total of 7. then from the library it's 3 right then 4 up, which is 7 again. 7 to the first stop then 7 to the second makes 14 total.

The value of a is 80
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance of a point
from the y-axis can be written as

because the x-coordinate of the y-axis is zero.
Similarly, the distance of a point
from the x-axis can be written as

Since the y-coordinate of the x-axis is zero.
In this problem:
- The distance of the point A (−30, −45) from the y-axis can be written as

- The distance of point B (a,a) from the x-axis can be written as

Since
.
We are told that 2/3 of the distance from the y-axis to point A (−30, −45) is equal to 1/4 of the distance from the x-axis to point B(a, a), which means

Therefore,

And solving for a,

Answer:
y = 65°
Step-by-step explanation:
z = 70° (corresponding angels are equal)
y + z = 135° (exterior angle theorem of a triangle)
y + 70 = 135 (substitution)
Subtract 70 from each side
y + 70 - 70 = 135 - 70
y = 65
Hi there!
So, our two equations are:
2x + 3y = 20 and
-2x + y = 4
We can see that the x's will cancel out because they're the same number, opposite signs. Then we're left with 4y = 24.
Divide 24 by 4, which is 6.
y = 6, then we plug that in to the first equation for y:
2x + 3(6) = 20
2x + 18 = 20
2x = 2
x = 1
So, she made her first mistake when adding the equations, adding 20 and 4, she somehow got 16.
The solution to the system is (1,6).
I hope I helped!
