-3x - y = -17
4x + 2y = 20
multiply one part of the equation so that we can be able to use the process of elimination.
(-3x - y = -17)2
4x + 2y = 20
Now we have:
-6x -2y = - 34
4x+2y= 20
------------------------
-2x = -14
Divide -2 on both sides.
-2x = -14
/-2 /-2
x = -7.
=============================================
To solve for y, we just have to substitute the value of x to any of the equation given above, that we feel comfortable with. And I'm going to choose this equation: 4x + 2y = 20
4x + 2y = 20
4(-7) + 2y = 20
-28 + 2y = 20
Add 28 on both sides
-28 + 2y = 20
+28 +28
---------------------
2y = 48
/2 /2
y = 24.
The last thing you would do is to check if the answers is correct.
All you have to do is plug in the values of x and y into both equations and see if they equal to one another.
You may have to do this by yourself :P

Answer:
Mean: 5
Median: 5
Mode: 2
Range: 7
Step-by-step explanation:
We find the mean by adding all the numbers together to get 45. Then we divide the 45 by the amount of numbers in the set, for this one it is 9. 45 divided by 9 equals 5.
To find the median we put the numbers in the set in order from least to greatest. Next, we find the middle number. median=5
To find the mode we find the number repeated the most. In this set the number that repeats the most is 2.
Range is found by subtracting the largest number and the smallest number. 9-2=7
Answer: 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
j=13, g=20.8, h=24
Step-by-step explanation:
The overall shape given and the shape within, are both right triangles. With right triangles, you are allowed to use the pythagorean theorem formula (
) in order to solve for some sides. In this case, that would be j and h. The five in the smaller triangle is represented by b and the 12 is the hypotenuse so it is represented by c. When you plug in those numbers in the pythagorean theorem formula, you will find the value of j to be 13. When looking at this, we see that 12 is the second greatest value in the right triangle values that we just found, so we know the the opposing angle for that one will be 60 degrees. The 5's opposing side is therefore 30 degrees. When subtracting 90 and 30, we get 60, so therefore you can use the 30 60 90 formula to find the sides of the bigger triangle. The 60 degrees represents g. This formula will be 
. The a is 12 since it is the smallest value. So therefore, g is 
, which is 20.8. Now that we have this side, we can just use the pythagorean theorem formula to find the remaining side. Therefore, h is going to be 24

multiply by 4
12
add 12
24
divide by 2
12
subtract 6
6
number 6 : 6(4) = 24... + 12 = 36...36/2 = 18.....- 6 = 12
number 8 : 8(4) = 32....+ 12 = 44...44/2 = 22....- 6 = 16
number 12: 12(4) = 48....+ 12 = 60...60/2 = 30....-6 = 24
well...by following these steps, it appears the original number doubles as a result.
