-7x - 2y = 19
4x + y = -12
Set y equal to each other (opposite signs are fine and you could also set x equal instead of y)
-7x - 2y = 19
8x + 2y = -76
Add equations together
x = -52
Plug x value into an equation
4(-52) + y = -12
Solve for y
-208 + y = -12
y = 196
Hope this helps! ;)

Answer:
axis of symmetry: x = 2
see below for a graph
Step-by-step explanation:
You can complete the square to put the equation in vertex form.
y = (x^2 -4x +4) -1 -4
y = (x -2)^2 -5 . . . . . . vertex is (2, -5)
The equation of the axis of symmetry is the equation of the vertical line through the vertex:
x = 2 . . . . . axis of symmetry
__
Points on the graph are easily found by using integer values on either side of x=2. Points on one side of the axis of symmetry are mirrored on the other side of it.
Answer:
about 29.7 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
If it take c minutes for Charles to mow the lawn by himself, it takes c+16 minutes for Peter. The two of them working together can mow in one minute this fraction of the entire lawn:
1/c + 1/(c+16) = 1/18
Multiplying by 18c(c+16), we get ...
18(c +16) + 18(c) = c(c+16)/18
36c +288 = c^2 +16c
c^2 -20c = 288 . . . . . subtract 36c
c^2 -20c +100 = 388 . . . . . add (20/2)^2 = 100 to complete the square
(c -10)^2 = 388
c = 10 +√388 ≈ 29.6977 . . . . . take the positive square root
It takes Charles about 29.7 minutes to mow the lawn by himself.
Ok, so first off you need to remember that your goal is to get x alone.
How do you do this? Well, let's get rid of that pesky negative ten, shall we?
The opposite of a negative is positive, so you can move negative ten to the other side of the problem by adding ten. Make sure that you do operations on both sides. Once you add, you have 3x=18. When a number is right next door to an x, it means it is being multiplied. To get rid of the three, divide by three on both sides. Now your get x=6, which is your answer. Hopefully, I explained this well! :D
