Step-by-step explanation:

$\underline{ \underline{ \text{Given}}} :$

$\tt{4x + 3y = 20........... \text{ equation \: ( \: i \: )}}$
$\tt{4x + 2y = 14.......... \text{equation \: (ii)}}$

$\underline{ \text{USE \: ELIMINATION \: METHOD}} :$

Subtract equation ( ii ) from equation ( i ) :

Remember that the sign of each term of the second expression changes i.e equation ( i ) now becomes -4x -3y = -20

$\tt{ \cancel{4x }+ 2y = 14}$

$\tt{ \cancel{ - 4x} - 3y = - 20}$

__________________

$\tt{ - y = - 6}$

⟿ $\tt{ \boxed{ \tt{y = 6}}}$

Again , Substituting the value of y in equation ( ii ) :

⟿ $\tt{4x + 2 \times 6 = 14}$

⟿ $\tt{4x + 12 = 14}$

⟿ $\tt{4x = 2}$

⟿ $\boxed{ \tt{x = \frac{1}{2}}}$

$\red{ \boxed{ \boxed{ \tt{Our \: final \: answer : x = \frac{1}{2 } \: and \: y = 6}}}}$

Hope I helped ! ツ

Have a wonderful day / night ! ♡

Using the segment addition postulate, which is true?

Andrew [12]

Answer: BC + CD = BD

Step-by-step explanation: The segment addition postulate tells you that when a segment is divided into two parts, the sum of the lengths of the first part of the divided segment and the second part of the divided segment will be equal to the length of the whole segment.

If point C divides segment BD into BC and CD, then the sum of those two segments will match the whole.

The equation 4x2 – 24x + 4y2 + 72y = 76 is equivalent to

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Option 4 is correct.

The equation $4x^2 -24x + 4y^2 + 72y = 76$ is equivalent to $4(x-3)^2 + 4(y+9)^2 =436$

Step-by-step explanation:'

Given equation: $4x^2 -24x + 4y^2 + 72y = 76$

First group the terms with x and those with y;

$(4x^2-24x)+(4y^2+72y) = 76$

Next, we complete the squares.

We can do this by adding a third term such that the x terms and the y terms are perfect squares.

For this we must either add the same value on the other side of the equation or subtract the same value on the same side so that the equality is maintained.

⇒ $4(x^2-6x) +4(y+18y) = 76$
