Answer:

x = 4, y = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

9x + 3y = 24

3x + y = 8 divide both sides by 3

y = 8 - 3x subtract 3x from both sides

2y + 4x = 8

2(8 - 3x) + 4x = 8 replace y with 8 - 3x

16 - 6x + 4x = 8 distributive property

-6x + 4x = 8 - 16 subtract 16 from both sides

-2x = -8 divide both sides by -2

x = 4

y = 8 - 3x

y = 8 - 3(4) replace x with 4

y = 8 - 12

y = -4

Answer:

The solution is x = 4 and y = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

(9x + 3y = 24)-2

(4x + 2y = 8)3

-18x - 6y = -48

12x + 6y = 24

-6x = -24

x = 4

Plug this into one of the equations

2y+4(4)=8

2y + 16 = 8

- 16 - 16

2y = -8

y = -4

Circle A has a diameter of approximately 20 inches and an area of approximately 300 in2.

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

4. About 2,700 in2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a circle ( $A$ ), measured in square inches, is directly proportional to the square of its diameter ( $d$ ), measured in inches. That is:

$A \propto d^{2}$

$A = k\cdot d^{2}$

Where $k$ is the constant of proportionality, dimensionless.

In consequence, the following relationship between circles A and B is obtained:

$\frac{A_{B}}{A_{A}} = \frac{d_{B}^{2}}{d_{A}^{2}}$

The area of the circle B is now cleared:

$A_{B} =\left(\frac{d_{B}}{d_{A}} \right)^{2}\cdot A_{A}$

Given that $d_{A} = 20\,in$ , $d_{B} = 60\,in$ and $A_{A} = 300\,in^{2}$ , then:

$A_{B} = \left(\frac{60\,in}{20\,in} \right)^{2}\cdot (300\,in^{2})$

$A_{B} = 2700\,in^{2}$

Therefore, the correct answer is 4.
