Answer:
-12
Step-by-step explanation:
When you multiply a positive by a negative, the answer is always a negative. If you multiply two negatives, the answer is always positive. If you multiply 2 positives, the answer will always be positive.
5x+3y=58
5x-3y=22
(3y gets cancelled bc 3y-3y=0, then add 5x with 5x, so you're left with)
10x=80, (divide both sides by 10)
x=8
Now we look for y. So choose one formula from the two (let's say 5x + 3y=58)
Substitute x for 8 so it will look like---- 5(8)+3y=58
Multiply 5*8--- so you get -- 40+3y=58
Subtract 40 from both sides and you're left with 3y=18
divide both sides by 3
you get y=6
In conclusion, x=8 and y=6 hence, (8,6)
Answer:
its answer is option b 15.625
Step-by-step explanation:
One year is 12 months. 12 mm is 1.2 cm.
Write and solve a proportion
1.2 cm / 4 months = x / 12 months
x = 3.6 cm
