Answer:

y= -4

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=42.   We know that x plus y equals 42.

x=2y .   We also know that x equals twice y.

2y+y=42.   Since we know that x=2y, we're going to replace x with 2y from the original equation, simplified would be 3y=42.

y=14.   3y=42 simplified is y=14, this is because we divided both sides by 3 (since 3 and 42 are both divisible by 3) (btw divisible by 3 simply means that it can be divided by 3)

x+14=42.   Now that we know what y equals, let's replace y with 14 from the original equation.

x=28.  Now that we know that x=28 and y=14, we know that y is always x/2.

When x=-8, we divide it by 2 and get, -4.

Not absolutely positive as this was all mental math, but hope this helps! :)

Okay, so this is a right angle. That means it is 90 degrees.

So far we know that on side of the angle is 47 degrees.

To get the other angle we will just subtract 90 - 47 = 43

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

No real solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 6x + 10 = 0

a = 1

b = 6

c = 10

D = b² - 4ac = 6² - 4*1*10 = 36 - 40 = - 4

- 4 < 0,

so this equation has no real solutions.
