-4.5x-2y=-12.5 3.25x-y=-0.75 solve by elimination

-4.5x-2y=-12.5 and 3.25x-y=-0.75
we first multiply the second equation by -2
(-2)*(3.25x-y=-0.75)=-6.5x+2y=-1.5
add the equation to eliminate the y
so yo get (-4.5x-6.5x)=(-12.5-1.5)
-11x=-11
x=1
now we plug in x into any equation to solve for y
-45x-2y=-12.5 and x=1
(-45*1)-2y=-12.5
-4.5-2y=-12.5
-2y=-12.5+4.5
-2y=-8
y=4
then your answer is x=1 and y=4

1. The perimeter = 3.7 + 3.7 + 2.8 + 2.8
= 13
The area = 3.7 * 2.8 = 10.36

2. Perimeter = 11.2
Area = half base times height
2.6 * 1.5 = 3.9 squared

2. The following triangle is an isosceles triangle. What is the length of the missing side? ? 11 in. 37 ? 4 in. 11 in 37° 4 in 5

An ISOSCELES triangle has two sides equal, and two base angles are also equal.

The two sides on the left and the right are equal. The right side measures 11 inches, therefore the left side also measures 11 inches.

The correct answer option is 11 inches
