Adding both equations cancels y:
<span>4x + 8y = 16
</span><span>4x - 8y = 0
-----------------+
8x = 16 => x=2
filling in x=2 in the first equation gives:
4*2 + 8y = 16 => 8y = 8 => y=1
So (2,1) is the (x,y) pair that solves the two equations. Answer C.</span>
5x-2+3x=17+12x-23 combine like terms
8x-2=12x-6
-8x -8x
-2=4x-6
+6 +6
4=4x divide each side by 4
x=1
100 miles/4 hours = 25 miles per hour
Given:
Point (7,12) is rotated 1260° counterclockwise about the origin.
To find:
The x-coordinate of the point after this rotation.
Solution:
If a point is rotated 360 degrees then its coordinates remains unchanged.
If a point is rotated 180 counterclockwise about the origin degrees, then

We know that,


After
rotation the coordinates of points remains same, i.e., (7,12). So, after that (7,12) is rotated 180° counterclockwise about the origin.

The point (7,12) becomes (-7,-12) after rotation of 1260° counterclockwise about the origin.
Therefore, the x-coordinate of the required point is -7.
