Solve the simultaneous equations -x + 4y = 12 x + y = - 7

Mathematics
1 answer:
blondinia [14]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

y = 1, x = - 8

or

(-8, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

-x + 4y = 12

x + y = -7

add the equations together

0x + 5y = 5

5y = 5

y = 1

substitute y for 1 in one of the original equations to find x

x + y = -7

x + 1 = -7

x + 1 - 1 = - 7 - 1

x = - 7 - 1

x = -8

dsp73
\dfrac{x^2+7x+1}{x^2+2x-15}=\dfrac{x^2+7x+1}{(x+5)(x-3)}

which is undefined when x=-5 or x=3. The answer is then the third choice.

Five WHOLE numbers are written in order
tino4ka555 [31]

x = 7

y = 8

All I did was assume x was 7 and y was 8. I added 4, 6, 7, 8, and 10 together. I got 35. Then, I divided by five (since that's how many numbers are shown) and I got 7 for the mean. 7 is the median, and the 7 is the mean gotten from 4, 6, 7, 8, and 10. Therefore, x must equal 7 and y must equal 8.

Which statement proves that quadrilateral JKLM is a kite?
horsena [70]

A kite is a flat shape with straight sides. It has two pairs of equal-length adjacent (next to each other) sides.

Main properties of an arbitrary kite:

  • Two pairs of sides are of equal length.
  • One pair of diagonally opposite angles is equal.
  • Only one diagonal is bisected by the other.
  • The diagonals cross at 90°.

1. Option 1 is false, because sides that are adjacent to the right angle could have different lengths or diagonals can cross not at 90°.

2. Option 2 is correct, because this option is strictly the definition of the kite.

3. Option 3 is false, because MK and LJ can be not perpendicular, and then adjacent sides will not have the same lengths.

4. Option 3 is false, because despite the perpendicularity between MK and LJ, this figure could be rhombus (with all equal sides) or square (with all equal sides and all right angles).

By the way, rhombus and square are partial cases of kite, but in general, an arbitrary kite is not rhombus and is not square.

Answer: correct choice is 2.
