The solution is: x=5, y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations are:

$-6x+2y=-26\ \ \ \ \ Eqn\ 1\\8x-8y=24\ \ \ \ \ \ \ Eqn\ 2\\Multiplying\ equation\ 1\ by\ 4\\4(-6x+2y)=4(-26)\\-24x+8y=-104\ \ \ Eqn\ 3\\Adding\ Eqn\ 2\ and\ Eqn\ 3\\-24x+8y+8x-8y=24-104\\-16x=-80\\dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ -16\\\frac{-16x}{-16}=\frac{-80}{-16}\\x=5\\Putting\ x=5\ in\ equation\ 1\\-6(5)+2y=-26\\-30+2y=-26\\Adding\ 30\ on\ both\ sides\\-30+2y+30=-26+30\\2y=4\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 2\\\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{4}{2}\\y=2$

Verification:

$8x-8y=24\\Putting\ x=5\ and\ y=2\\8(5)-8(2)=24\\40-16=24\\24=24$

The solution is: x=5, y=2

aliina [53]

Answer:

<em>See Reasoning Below</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

To prove that AB = BL, or in other words AB ≅ BL, let us consider the triangles CED and BEL. If we were to prove they were congruent, then by CPCTC ( corresponding parts of congruent triangle are congruent ) DC ≅ BL. As AB ≅ DC by " Properties of Parallelogram " it would be that through transitivity, AB ≅ BL / AB = BL;

$m$

Now for " part 2 " we can consider that AB = DC, from part 1. If AB = BL, then AL = 2 ( AB ) by the Partition Postulate. AB = DC, so we can also say that AL = 2 ( DC ) - Proved

Determine the most specific name for quadrilateral JKLM if the coordinates of the vertices are:J(-4,6), K(-1,2), L(1,6), M(4,2)J

Arturiano [62]

To finish the demonstration that the quadrilateral JKLM is a rhombus we need to prove that side JK is congruent with side LM.

The length of a segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is calculated as follows:

$\sqrt[]{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Substituting with points L(1,6) and M(4,2) we get:

$\begin{gathered} LM=\sqrt[]{(4-1)^2+(2-6)^2} \\ LM=\sqrt[]{3^2+(-4)^2} \\ LM=\sqrt[]{9+16^{}} \\ LM=5 \end{gathered}$

Given that opposite sides are parallel, all sides have the same length, and, from the diagram, the quadrilateral is not a square, we conclude that it is a rhombus.

What is the best approximation for the area of a circle with a diameter of 19 meters?

FromTheMoon [43]

$A = \pi r^{2}$ is the equation used for determining area from radius. We're given diameter, so to get the radius simply divide by 2. 19/2 = 9.5.

$A = (3.14)(9.5)^{2}$ , when solved, equals $283.385 m^(2)$ . After rounding to the nearest tenth, we get $283.4 m^{2}$
