Answer:

The correct answer is x = 3 and y = 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many ways to solve systems of equations like this, but I'm going to use substitution.  This means taking the value of y given by the second equation and plugging it into the first equation.  This is modeled below:

2x - y = 4

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

Now, we can simplify the left side of the equation.

2x + 2x - 8 = 4

4x - 8 = 4

We should add 8 to both sides as the next step.

4x = 12

Now we can divide by 4.

x = 3

To solve for y, we can substitute this value found for x back into either one of our original equations.

y = -2x + 8

y = (-2*3) + 8

y = -6 + 8

y = 2

Therefore, the correct answer is x = 3 and y = 2.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

The value of x is 3 and y is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, 2x - y = 4 and y = -2x + 8 are two given equation,

Now, We will use <em><u>Substitution </u></em><em><u>Method</u></em>

2x - y = 4 ...(1)

y = -2x + 8 ...(2)

Substitute the value of <u>y = -2x + 8</u> in equation (1)

2x - y = 4

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

2x + 2x - 8 = 4

4x - 8 = 4

Add 8 both side we get,

4x - 8 + 8 = 4 + 8

4x = 12

Divide by 4 both side we get,

4x/4 = 12/4

x = 3

Now, Substitute the value of x in equation (2)

y = -2x + 8

y = -2(3) + 8

y -6 + 8

y = 2

Thus, The value of x is 3 and y is 2

<h3><u>FOR VERIFICATION ONLY:</u></h3>

<u>2x - y = 4</u>

2(3) - (2) = 4

6 - 2 = 4

4 = 4

<u>y = -2x + 8</u>

2 = -2(3) + 8

2 = -6 + 8

2 = 2

Hence, L.H.S = R.H.S

Hey there,

The Greatest Common Factor or the GCF of 66 and 32 would be 2.

Both of the numbers go into 2 and that is the highest common factor the two share.

Hope I helped,

<h3>Answer is 1.5 square meters</h3>

=================================================

Work Shown:

The portion of the fabric that is laying across the ground is 2 meters. The portion of the fabric from the ground to the highest point (along the fabric's edge) is 1.5 meters, half of that is 0.75 meters and this is the length of the shadow. We can see this by forming a 30-60-90 triangle. The hypotenuse is 1.5 meters, the short leg is 0.75 meters. The short leg is always half of the hypotenuse of any 30-60-90 triangle, and the short leg is opposite the 30 degree angle.

So this shadow has length of 2 meters and 0.75 meters, making its area be 0.75*2 = 1.5 square meters when the sun is directly overhead at 12 noon

What is 1000 k = to but it has to be a gram .any get it cause I don't help me
denpristay [2]
You need to convert 1000kg to grams? There are 1000g\frac{1000g}{kg}
Now what you need to do is multiply the number of kg you have by your conversion fractions, making sure that grams is on top so you end up with grams in your answer:\frac{1000kg}{g} * \frac{1000g}{kg}

Kg cancel, and you are left with 1,000,000g
This means that there are 1,000,000g in 1000kg
Hope this helps!
