Answer:

x= 2

y= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing you can do is turn either equation into slope-intercept form that way you have a clear equation for ONE variable. This looks like:

6x+6y=-6

6y= -6x -6 (move the 6x to the other side by subtracting)

y= -x-1 (divide everything by 6 to isolate "y")

so now you have an equation for y, y= -x-1

plug this in for the y variable in the second equation to get your final answer.

5x - 6(-x-1) = 28

5x + 6x +6 = 28 ( all i did was distribute)

11x + 6 = 28 (add like terms)

11x = 22 (subtract 6)

x= 2

now that you know that x = 2, plug that in to either equation to solve for y.

6(2) + 6y = -6

12 + 6y = -6

6y = -18 (i subtracted 12 from both sides)

y = -3

okay, so your final answer is (2, -3) or x= 2 and y= -3

I really hope this was easy to follow.

Examine the diagram at right. The smaller triangle (inside of the larger triangle) is similar to larger triangle. How can you so

olchik [2.2K]

As the exercise says, the triangles are similar. So, we can set up proportions between correspondent sides.

In order to solve for x we can set up the proportion between the horizontal and vertical sides:

$28\div 11.2 = 27+x \div x$

Solving this proportion for x implies $x=18$

Now you can solve for m and p using the pythagorean theorem, because both triangles are right:

$m = \sqrt{18^2+11.2^2} =21.2$

Then, we know that the hypothenuse of the big triangle is m+p, so we have

$m+p=\sqrt{(18+27)^2+28^2} = 53$

which implies

$p = 53-p = 53-21.2=31.8$

Solve inequality: -6x < 36

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

x>−6

Step-by-step explanation:

-6x<36

Multiply both sides by -1. ( reverse the inequality )

(-6x) (-1) > 36 (-1)

Simplify

6x > -36

Divide both sides by 6

6x divided by 6 -36 divided by 6

Simplify

x> -6

Hope this helped

Given the following system, what variable will eliminate?

vivado [14]

I think the answer is Neither x nor y will eliminate because, by looking at the two equations we can add them and y will be elminated and we will have x-value but we can substitute the x value into one of the equation and obtain y value again.Hope this will help.Sorry If I was wrong .
