When Megan solved this system using the elimination method , she added the equations together and got the equation 4y = 16. Then

she solved that equatio n and got y = 4. Then she substituted 4 in the first equation for y and solved for x. She got x = 4. The point (4, 4) is not the correct solution. Please state in a complete sentence where she made her first mistake. What is the correct solution to the system ? Show your work in the space provided. 2x + 3y = 20 - 2x + y = 4

Answer:

Megan added the equations together but  she subtract 4 instead of addition of 4. The correct solution is (1,6).

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equations are

2x+3y=20        ...(1)

-2x+y=4            .... (2)

Add both equations to eliminate x.

2x+3y-2x+y=20+4

4y=24

Megan make a mistake in this step. She added the equations together but she subtract 4 instead of addition of 4.

Divide both sides by 4.

y=6

Put this value in equation (1).

2x+3(6)=20

2x+18=20

2x=2

Divide both sides by 2.

x=1

Therefore the correct solution is (1,6).

Match each expression to its equivalent standard form.
Aleksandr [31]

Let's expand the products they are all in the form

(a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2

For the first one we have a=x and b=2i:

(x+2i)(x-2i)=x^2-(2i)^2=x^2+4

For the second one we have a=x-2 and b=2i:

(x-2+2i)(x-2-2i)=(x-2)^2-(2i)^2 = x^2-4x+4+4=x^2-4x+8

For the third one we have a=x+1 and b=i:

(x+1+i)(x+1-i)=(x+1)^2-i^2=x^2+2x+1+1=x^2+2x+2

NeX [460]
1) Which ratio is equivalent to [tex] \frac{4}{16} [tex]?
[tex] \frac{4}{16} * 2 = \frac{8}{32} [tex], or 8:32.

2) Write the ratio as a unit rate [tex] ( \frac{286miles}{5 \frac{1}{2} hours} ) [tex]
Set the equation up like this:
[tex] \frac{286miles}{5 \frac{1}{2} hours} = \frac{Xmiles}{1 hour}\\
286*1=(5 \frac{1}{2})*x\\
286 = \frac{11x}{2}\\
11x= 572 [tex]
x = 52 [tex] \frac{miles}{hour} [tex]

3) Which typing time is fastest? I answered this earlier, refer to it please refer to it: brainly.com/question/2560190

Jeremiah wants to use a meter stick to measure the dimensions of a magazine cover to find its area. is that an appropriate measu
kicyunya [14]
A magazine is much smaller than a meter stick. Although it would be possible to measure the dimensions of the magazine using the meter stick, since there are centimeter marking on them, a ruler would be a much more appropriate tool to use because of its similarity in size to the magazine.
