Answer: x= 1/2y+2
Step-by-step explanation:
Your answer is B) 12y = 4
You can find this by first rearranging the equation x + 3y = -2 to the form ‘x =‘:
x = -2 - 3y.
Then you can substitute this into the second equation, 2x - 6y = -8, and expand and solve:
2(-2 - 3y) - 6y = -8
-4 - 6y - 6y = -8
-12y = -4
Now because we know that -12y = -4, this is equivalent to 12y = 4, which is option B.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)
Answer: 26
Step-by-step explanation: In this problem we have 3 consecutive even numbers whose sum is 84 and it asks us to find the smallest number.
Consecutive even numbers can be represented as x, x + 2, and x + 4.
Since the sum of these is 84, our equation reads
x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 84.
Simplifying on the left we get 3x + 6 = 84.
Subtract 6 from both sides and we have 3x = 78.
Divide both sides by 3 and x = 26.
So our smallest number is 26.

Answer:
- parallel: 60 ft
- perpendicular: 30 ft
- area: 1800 ft^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the length of fence parallel to the house. Then the length perpendicular is ...
y = (120 -x)/2
The area of the yard is the product of these dimensions, so is ...
A = xy = x(120-x)/2
This is the equation of a parabola that opens downward and has zeros at x=0 and x=120. The maximum (vertex) is on the line of symmetry, halfway between these zeros, at x=60.
The fence parallel to the house is 60 feet.
The fence perpendicular to the house is (120-60)/2 = 30 feet.
The area of the yard is (60 ft)(30 ft) = 1800 ft^2.
