Let the required number is 2x ,
According to the condition,
➡ 10 times the sum of half of 2x and 6 = 8
Therefore the value of x is -5.2
And, required number is -5.2
-x - y = 8
2x - y = -1
Ok, we are going to solve this in 2 parts. First we have to solve for one of the variables in one of the equation in terms of the other variable. I like to take the easiest equation first and try to avoid fractions, so let's use the first equation and solve for x.
-x - y = 8 add y to each side
-x = 8 + y divide by -1
x = -8 - y
So now we have a value for x in terms of y that we can use to substitute into the other equation. In the other equation we are going to put -8 - y in place of the x.
2x - y = -1
2(-8 - y) - y = -1 multiply the 2 through the parentheses
-16 - 2y - y = -1 combine like terms
-16 - 3y = -1 add 16 to both sides
-3y = 15 divide each side by -3
y = -5
Now we have a value for y. We need to plug it into either of the original equations then solve for x. I usually choose the most simple equation.
-x - y = 8
-x - (-5) = 8 multiply -1 through the parentheses
-x + 5 = 8 subtract 5 from each side
-x = 3 divide each side by -1
x = -3
So our solution set is
(-3, -5)
That is the point on the grid where the 2 equations are equal, so that is the place where they intersect.
Answer:
B would equal -4
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is 30. 5/10 is equal to 15/30
Answer:
58 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The room is already broken down into two smaller rectangles.
The smaller of the two measures 4 ft by 2 ft. 
, so substitute 4 for 
and 2 for 
.
(smaller rectangle) 
, or 
.
(smaller rectangle) 
The larger measures 10 ft by 5 ft, so using the same method, multiply times .
(larger rectangle) 
, or 
.
(larger rectangle) 
Add the two rectangles' areas together to find the total area of the room.
8 + 50 = 58
