Answer:

X = -7 and y = -7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Use substitution. Let’s try to get x by itself in the second question since it seems easier.

-4x + 4y = -2

-4x = -2 -4y

x = 1/2 + y

Subsitute that into the other equation for y.

4x -2y = -13

4(1/2 + y) - 2y = -13

2 + 4y -2y = -13 # Use the distributive property

2y = -15 # put together like terms

y = -7.5

Then plug it into the x formula

x = .5 -7.5

x = -7

Answer:

The solution is (-7, -7 1/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

 4x – 2y = –13  

–4x + 4y = –2

-------------------------

          2y = -15, and so y = -7 1/2.

Now find x.  If y = -7 1/2, then, from the first equation, we get

4x - 2(-7 1/2) = -13, or

4x + 15 = -13, or

4x = -28, or x = -7

The solution is (-7, -7 1/2).

What makes a pair linear?
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

A linear pair of angles is formed when two lines intersect. Two angles are said to be linear if they are adjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines. The measure of a straight angle is 180 degrees, so a linear pair of angles must add up to 180 degrees.

A circle is defined by the equation x2 + y2 – x – 2y – = 0. What are the coordinates for the center of the circle and the length
madreJ [45]
X^2 + y^2 - x - 2*y = 0
To find both coordinates and radius we need to make this equation in circle form:
(x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2 = r^2

x^2 - 2*1/2*x + 1/4 - 1/4 + y^2 - 2*1*y + 1 - 1 = 0
Here we are adding and subtracting numbers in order to get square binomial.
(x - 1/2)^2 + (y-1)^2 = 5/4

coordinates of center are (1/2,1) and the radius is √\frac{5}{4}

Find the missing dimension.
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

2 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the area and the lengths of the two parallel sides of this trapezoid are given:

A = 7m^2, b1 = 3 m and b2 = 4 m.  What's missing is the width of the trapezoid.

First we write out the formula for the area of a trapezoid:

       b1 + b2

A = --------------- * w, where w represents the width of the figure.

             2

We need to solve this for the width, w.  Multiplying both sides of the above equation by

     2

------------

b1 + b2

results in

 2A

------------ = w

b1 + b2

Substituting 7 m^2 for A, 3 m for b1 and 4 m for b2 results in

        2(7 m^2)           14 m^2

w = ------------------ = ---------------- = 2 m

        (3 + 4) m             7 m

The missing dimension is the width of the figure.  This width is 2 m.
