2x + 4y = 14
4x + y = 20......multiply by -4
----------------
2x + 4y = 14
-16x - 4y = -80 (result of multiplying by -4)
---------------add
-14x = -66....as u can see, ur y's cancel out
so ur answer is : 1st answer choice <==
** and just so u know, u could have multiplied the 1st equation by -2, and it would have cancelled out ur x's

Answer:
375 in² is the answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Are of rectangle= area of 2 triangle
= 1/2*25*15+1/2*25*15
=187.5+187.5
=375 in²
Answer:
1. the y-intercept is 9.5 and it means the starting length of the candle
2. the slope is -1/2 and it means that the candle burns 1/2 an inch every hour
3. it burns an inch every 2 hours, it is 9.5 inches long, so 19 hours it'll take to burn.
THEOREM:
- <u>Pythagorean theorem</u>:— In a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides.
ANSWER:
By pythagorean property,
- x² = 12² + 9²
- x² = 144 + 81
- x² = 225
- x = √225
- x = 15 units.
So, <u>Correct choice</u> - [C] 15 units.
