x = 4, y = 1
Step 1: use the equations given to find an equation with only 1 term. Here I used x.
(x + 2y) + (x - 2y) = 2x = 6 + 2 = 8
2x = 8
x = 4
Step 2: substitute x = 4 into either given equation. Here I used the first equation x + 2y = 6.
(4 + 2y) = 6
2y = 6 - 4 = 2
y = 1
This solution can also be done by finding y in step 1 or using the other given equation in step 2.
Hope this helped!
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
<STR = <SRT Given the markings of the triangle
<STR + <STU = 180 Supplementary angles
(2x - 9) + 7x = 180 Remove the brackets
2x - 9 + 7x = 180 Combine
9x - 9 = 180 Add 9 to both sides
9x = 180 + 9 Combine
9x = 189 Divide by 9
9x/9 = 189/9
x = 21
60 * 2 = 120
120 / 45 = 2.6...7
2.6 * 45 = 29.3... (3 repeating) mi.
Messed that up!
11 / 45 = .24...
.24 * 120 = 28.8<u />
This an { } solution because the absolute value is always a positive number unless there is a negative sign in front of the brackets.
hope this helps :)
