Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagonals of a rectangle are equal.
2x + 10 = 56 That minus sign can't be there. Subtract 10 from both sides.
2x = 56 - 10 Combine
2x = 46 Divide by 2
x = 46/2
x = 23
Answer:
1. 8x + 2y = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
3x - 12y = 10
12y = 3x - 10
y = 1/4 x - 5/6 .... slope: 1/4
perpendicular line slope: -4
8x + 2y= 16
2y = -8x + 16
y = -4x + 8 .... slope: -4
2x+y=9
3x+5y=19
I will do this problem in 2 ways. I.)Substitution II.)Elimination
Solution I.) Substitution
We can subtract 2x from both sides in the first equation.
y=9-2x
Now we can substitute the y in the second equation with 9-2x
3x+5(9-2x)=19
-7x+45=19
-7x=-26
x=26/7
y=9-2(26/7)=11/7
Solution II.)Elimination
We can multiply both side of first equation by 5 to get a 5y in both equations.
10x+5y=45
Now because both are positive 5y we just need to do simple subtraction of the 2 equation, each side respectively.
(10x+5y)-(3x+5y)=45-19
7x=26
x=26/7
2*26/7+y=9
y=11/7
Ultimately you get the same answer, both are viable methods, some problems are faster with one method but I recommend mastering both since they are very useful.
