Solve system of equations for x + y: 3x + 2y = -18 & 2x + 9y =-12

Mathematics

Answer:

(- 6, 0 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

3x + 2y = - 18 → (1)

2x + 9y = - 12 → (2)

Multiplying (1) by 2 and (2) by - 3 and adding will eliminate the term in x, that is

6x + 4y = - 36 → (3)

- 6x - 27y = 36 → (4)

Add (3) and (4) term by term to eliminate x

- 23y = 0

y = 0

Substitute y = 0 into either of the 2 equations and evaluate for x

Substituting into (1)

3x + 0 = - 18

3x = - 18 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = - 6

Solution is (- 6, 0 )

I'm really confused, can you please help me
Anika [276]

Answer: y=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since DF is bisected, it means but in half. This means DU and UF are equal in length. We can set them equal to each other to find y.

2y=16          [divide both sides by 2]

y=8

If y varies directly as x and y = 144 when x = 12, what is the value of y when x = 17?
olasank [31]
Direct variation:
y=kx

y=144 when x=12.
144=12k \\ k=\frac{144}{12} \\ k=12

y=? when x=17.
y=12 \times 17 \\
y=204

y=204 when x=17.
