What is the solution to the system of equations below?
1 answer:
Answer:
A. (–8, 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
(1) y = ½x + 6
(2) y = -¾x – 4 Set (1) = (2)
½x + 6 = -¾x – 4 Multiply each side by 4
2x + 24 = -3x – 16 Add 16 to each side
2x + 40 = -3x Subtract 2x from each side
40 = -5x Divide each side by -5
(3) x = -8 Substitute (2) into (1)
y = ½(-8) +6
= -4 + 6
= 2
The solution to the system of equations is (-8 ,2).
You can see the graphs of the two functions in the figure below. The two lines intersect at (-8, 2).
Check:
2 = ½(-8) + 6 2 = -¾(-8) - 4
2 = -4 +6 2 = 6 - 4
2 = 2 2 = 2

Check the picture below.
bear in mind that, if the right-triangle is an isosceles, is a 45-45-90 triangle, and if we split it from the "vertex" above perpendicular to the base, we end up with two more 45-45-90 triangles.

K, remember
(ab)/(cd)=(a/c)(b/d) or whatever
also
and
and
![x^ \frac{m}{n}= \sqrt[n]{x^m}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%5E%20%5Cfrac%7Bm%7D%7Bn%7D%3D%20%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Bx%5Em%7D%20%20)

and
(a/b)/(c/d)=(a/b)(d/c)=(ad)/(bc)
