600x = 360000
So, the x should mean 'times'.
600 x 600 = 360000.
x = 600.
25 × x = 45
or 25÷100 × x= 45
multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides by 25, we have x = 45×100÷25
therefore, x = 180
( if you use a calculator simply enter 45×100÷ 25)
Answer: 235 cm^2
Explanation: you can cut the shape into two smaller ones and then solve for each smaller shapes area. to find out the length of the top piece with 11 as length you can subtract nine from fourteen. from their you calculate the area of the top shape (11x5=55) and then the bottom shape (9x20=180). from their just add the two areas to get 235.
Hi there!
In order to use the elimination method, you have to create one variable that has the same coefficient. This is to be able to eliminate one variable and have a one variable equation (which you can then solve).
In your case, we'll have the "x" have the same coefficient by multiplying the top equation by 4 and the bottom equation by 2 :
4( -2x + 3y = -4) → -8x + 12y = -16
2( 4x - 2y = 16) → 8x - 4y = 32
Now that both of your equation have a variable with the same coefficient, you need to choose rather you need to add or subtract the equations in order to get rid of the variable (in this case we want to get rid of the "x").
In your case, you want to add both equation together which will give you :
8y = 16
Now that you only have one variable, all you need to do now is solve the equation for "y" :
8y = 16
Divide each side of the equation by 8
y = 2 → Your answer
There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)
