Answer:

X=-10 y=7

Step-by-step explanation:

1) in first equation subtract 2y on both sides

X=4-2y

Substitute as "x" in the second equation:

-4(4-2y)-7y=-9

-16+8y-7y=-9

-16+y=-9

Y=7

Substitute y as 7 to get x)

X=4-2(7)

X=4-14

X=-10

Hope this helps

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x + 2y = 4

x = 4 - 2y.......... equation 1

-4x -7y = - 9.......equation 2

Putting equation 1 in equation 2 

- 4 ( 4 - 2y) - 7y = - 9

-16 + 8y - 7y = -9

y = - 9 + 16

y = 7

Now 

x = 4 - 2* 7 = 8 - 7 = 1 

hope this helps.

Fill in the missing values to make the equations true.

azamat

Step-by-step explanation:

Some of the property of log are as follows :

1. $\text{log a}-\text{log b}=\text{log} \dfrac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}$

2. $\text{log a}+\text{log b}=\text{log}(a{\cdot} b)$

3. $\text{log}a^n=n\ \text{log} a$

Now coming to question,

(a) $\text{log 5}-\text{log 8}=\text{log} \dfrac{\text{5}}{\text{8}}$ (using property 1)

(b) $\text{log 1}+\text{log 3}=\text{log}(1{\cdot} 3)=\text{log} 3$ (using property 2)

Hence, this is the required solution.

Find the value of k

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A straight line is equal to 180. The line AB is 180 degrees. This means 174 + angle = 180 for the angle between point D and B. It must be 6 degrees. This is the same angle as the angle between point A and C.

Line CD is also straight and equal to 180. On the line are the angles, 4k + 90 + 3k + 6 = 180. Solve for k by combining like terms and then using inverse oeprations.

4k + 90 + 3k + 6 = 180

7k + 96 = 180

7k = 84

k = 12
