Answer:

x=7

y=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

When the two equations are solved together, they form simultaneous equations.

x+y=6

x-y=8

Let us use the elimination method. if we add the two equations, we eliminate y.

2x=14

x=7

Let us substitute for the value of x obtained above.

x-y=8

7-y=8

y=7-8

y=-1

What is the value of x makes this equation true? -6x+3=45

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

$x=-7$

Step-by-step explanation:

subtract 3 from both sides

$-6x=45-3$

$-6x=42$

divide each term by 6

$\frac{-6x}{-6} =\frac{42}{-6}$

$x=\frac{42}{-6}$

simplify

$x=-7$

The shoe store has 720 pairs of shoes for sale. Each pair of shoes is being sold for $25.00. If all of the shoes are sold, how m

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:4,500

Step-by-step explanation:

720 multiple by 25 gives you 18,000 then you find 25% of 18,000 by multiplying 18,000 times 25/100 which gives you 4,500. Or you can find 25%of 25 then multiple the answer by 720

Lamar is writing a coordinate proof to show that a segment from the midpoint of the hypotenuse of a right triangle to the opposi

Zanzabum

1. N is a midpoint of the segment KL, then N has coordinates

$\left(\dfrac{x_K+x_L}{2},\dfrac{y_K+y_L}{2} \right) =\left(\dfrac{0+2a}{2},\dfrac{2b+0}{2} \right) =(a,b).$

2. To find the area of △KNM, the length of the base MK is 2b, and the length of the height is a. So an expression for the area of △KNM is

$A_{KMN}=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot \text{base}\cdot \text{height}=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 2b\cdot a=ab.$

3. To find the area of △MNL, the length of the base ML is 2a and the length of the height is b. So an expression for the area of △MNL is

$A_{MNL}=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot \text{base}\cdot \text{height}=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 2a\cdot b=ab.$

4. Comparing the expressions for the areas you have that the area $A_{KMN}$ is equal to the area $A_{MNL}$ . This means that the segment from the midpoint of the hypotenuse of a right triangle to the opposite vertex forms two triangles with equal areas.
