To solve the question, the both equations should have a positive value and a negative value with same number. Then one variable can be eliminated.

To eliminate X term first, we should multiply the first equation by 2 and second one by 3.
Then,
     6X - 12Y = -30
     -6X + 15Y = 70

Or

To eliminate Y term first, we should multiply the first equation by 5 and second one by 6.
 Then,
     15X - 30Y = -75
      -12X + 30Y = 84

According to the choices given 'A' is the correct answer.

Jim is enclosing a rectangular garden with 170 feet of fencing. The length of the garden is 10 feet more than twice it's width,
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer: Area = 1500 feet^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Jim is enclosing a rectangular garden with 170 feet of fencing. This means the perimeter of the rectangular garden =170 feet

Let length = x

Let width = w

The length of the garden,x is 10 feet more than twice it's width, w. This means

x =10+2w---------1

Perimeter = 2x+2w =170---------2

Putting equation 1 in equation 2,

2(10+2w) +2w= 170

20 + 4w +2w = 170

6w = 170-20=150

w = 150/6

= 25feet

Put w=25 in equation 1

x =10 +2×25= 10+50=60 feet

Area = length × width = x×w

= 60×25=1500feet^2

How do i solve 3x² - 8x + 2 = 0 using quadratic formula?
DENIUS [597]
3x^2 - 8x + 2 = 0\\ \\a=3 , \ \ b=-8 , \ \ c=2 \\ \\x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} =\frac{8-\sqrt{ (-8)^2-4 \cdot 3\cdot 2}}{2 \cdot 3} =\frac{8-\sqrt{ 64-24 }}{6} =\\ \\ =\frac{8-\sqrt{40 }}{6} = \frac{ 8-\sqrt{4\cdot 10 } }{6} = \frac{ 8-2\sqrt{ 10 }}{6} = \frac{2 (4-\sqrt{ 10 })}{6} = \frac{ 4-\sqrt{ 10 } }{3}

x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} =\frac{8+\sqrt{ (-8)^2-4 \cdot 3\cdot 2}}{2 \cdot 3} = \frac{ 4+\sqrt{ 10 } }{3}
