Answer:

2.25 and 4.95

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 7.2

x - y = 2.7

x = 7.2 - y

x - y = 2.7

(7.2 - y) - y = 2.7

7.2 - 2y = 2.7

-2y = 2.7 - 7.2

-2y = -4.5

-2y/-2 = -4.5/-2

y = 2.25

x + y = 7.2

x + 2.25 = 7.2

x = 7.2 - 2.25

x = 4.95

Check: 4.95 and 2.25

x + y = 7.2

(4.95) + (2.25) = 7.2

7.2 = 7.2

x - y = 2.7

(4.95) - (2.25) = 2.7

2.7 = 2.7

Answer:

Step 1: Distribute $-2$ to $5x$ and $8$

Step 2: Subtract from both sides of the equation $6x$

Step 3: Add to both sides of the equation $16$

Step 4: Divide both sides of the equation by $-16$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Apply the Distributive Property. Then you must distribute $-2$ to $5x$ and $8$

Then:

$-2(5x+8)=14+6x\\\\-10x-16=14+6x$

Step 2: You must apply the Subtraction property of Equality and subtract $6x$ from both sides of the equation. Then:

$-10x-16-6x=14+6x-6x\\\\-16x-16=14$

Step 3: You must apply the Addition property of Equality and add $16$ to both sides of the equation. Then:

$-16x-16+16=14+16\\\\-16x=30$

Step 4: You must apply the Division property of Equality and divide both sides by $-16$ . Then:

$\frac{-16x}{-16}=\frac{30}{-16}\\\\x=\frac{30}{-16}\\\\x=-\frac{15}{8}$

The area, a, of an ellipse can be determined using the formula a=TTxy where x and y are half the lengths of the largest and smal

Brilliant_brown [7]

$a=\pi xy$

To solve for y, divide both sides by $\pi x$ :

$y=\frac{a}{\pi x}$
