This one is simple since we already have the two x variables.equal. All we have to do is subtract the equations from one another to get the answer.
So i will subtract the left side by the other left side and the right side by the other right side
-8x - 8y -(-8x + 2y) = 0 -(-20)
distribute negative sign
-8x - 8y + 8x - 2y = 0 + 20
do the math
- 10y = 20
Y = -2
plug t into an equation
-8x -8 (-2) = 0
-8x + 16 = 0
-8x = -16
x = 2
answer (2, -2)
Triangles equal 180 degrees total
It’s a right triangle so one of the angles is 90 degrees and we know another angle is 36.6
So 90+36.6= 126.6
180-126.6= 53.4
So I’m assuming the correct answer is C since that’s the closet number to 53.4
One way to find the least common multiple of two numbers is to first list the prime factors of each number.
8 = 2 x 2 x 2
Then multiply each factor the greatest number of times it occurs in either number. If the same factor occurs more than once in both numbers, you multiply the factor the greatest number of times it occurs.
2: three occurrences
3: one occurrence
So, our LCM should be
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 24.
So, Marco can buy, at the very least, 24 beads of each color to have equal colors of beads.
Multply both sides of the equation by 7.

When the variable is in the numerator of a proportion like this, you can solve it by multiplying by that denominator. That multiplication cancels the denominator and gives you the value of the variable.
In general, you multiply by the reciprocal of the coefficient of x. When that coefficient is 1/7, you multiply by 7/1. Of course, you know that 7/7 = 1 and that x/1 = x.
