What is the solution to the system of equations?

Mathematics
1 answer:
yarga [219]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

(2, - 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

x + 2y = - 6 → (1)

3x + y = 2 → (2)

Multiplying (2) by - 2 and adding to (1) will eliminate the term in y

- 6x - 2y = - 4 → (3)

Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate y

- 5x = - 10 ( divide both sides by - 5 )

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting into (1)

2 + 2y = - 6 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

2y = - 8 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = - 4

Solution is (2, - 4 )

Answer:

  B. 8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the rectangle is ...

  A = LW = (16 ft)(4 ft) = 64 ft²

The area of the square in terms of its side length is ...

  A = s²

For the square to have the area of the rectangle, its side length must be ...

  64 ft² = s²

  s = √(64 ft²) = 8 ft

A side of the square is 8 feet long.

Plz help me I really don't know
Alex
The value of the expression would be 16.25 or 16 and 1/4, because when you multiply something by 1/2, you’re basically dividing it by 2, and when you put parentheses next to a number (for example 2(4) ), it means that you’re multiplying it, and when more than one values are in the parentheses, they all get multiplied, basically distributive property.

A t-shirt launcher can launch 6 shirts in 30 minutes. What is the number of shirts per hour?​
Ilya [14]

Answer:

12 shirts

Step-by-step explanation:

If a T-Shirt Launcher can launch 6 shirts in 30 minutes, that means it can launch 12 shirts in an hour, because there are 60 minutes in a hour, and 30 minutes is half os 60 minutes, so we just do 6 x 2 = 12.
