Hello there! the answer would be x = 3/4.

You are given the two equations: 4x - 2y = 8 and y = 1/2x + 2. You are asked to solve via substitution. To do this, substitute the value of y in the second given equation into the first given equation, and solve using PEMDAS.

4x - 2(1/2x + 2) = 8 - Start by distributing 2 into (1/2x + 2).

4x - 1x + 4 = 8 - Combine like terms.

3x + 4 = 8 - Subtract 4 from both sides.

3x = 4 - divide both sides by 3.

x = 3/4. This is your final answer.

I hope this was helpful, have a great day! :)

Answer:

u = 7.21

Step-by-step explanation:

The magnitude of u is just the distance between the two points. The coordinates of the left-most point are (-2,-8) and the coordinates of the right point are (4, -4). I'm assuming the x coordinates here because we don't actually know the scale.

Ok so from these points, you can draw a triangle (u can see it in the attached file).

From the coordinates we can tell the lengths of the sides, and the triangle shows that u is the hypotenuse of the triangle. This triangle is also a right triangle, so u can use Pythagoras' theorem to find the length of u.

$a^{2}+b^{2} = c^{2} \\6^{2}+4^{2} = c^{2} \\\sqrt{6^{2} +4^{2} } = c\\\sqrt{36+16} = c\\7.21 = c$
