X squared+y=18
x+y=6. use elimination method.(+y and +y cancels
x squared -x=x
18-6=12
x=12
for y take one of the above equations
x+y=6(replace x with 12
12+y=6(collect the like terms
y=6-12
y=-6

so x=12 and y=-6

rodikova [14]

$10.71

Explanation

Step 1

you can easily solve this by using a rule of three.

Let

x represents the money Eileen will pay if her bag weighs 63 pounds

the proportion is the same

then

$\frac{7.14}{42}=\frac{x}{63}$

Step 2

solve for x

$\begin{gathered} \frac{7.14}{42}=\frac{x}{63} \\ 63\cdot7.14=42x \\ x=\frac{63\cdot7.14}{42} \\ x=\frac{449.82}{42} \\ x=10.71 \\ \end{gathered}$

I hope this helps you

The point slope of a line that has a slope of -2 and passes through point (5,-2) is shown below. Which equation is in slope inte

kramer

Y + 2 = -2(x - 5)

Simplify.

y + 2 = -2x + 10

Subtract 2 from both sides.

y = -2x + 10 - 2

Simplify.

y = -2x + 8 → Slope-intercept form

Our answer is the second option : y=-2x+8

~Hope I helped!~
