Answer:

(1, 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

- 2x - y = - 4 → (1)

x + 2y = 5 → (2)

Multiplying (2) by 2 and adding result to (1) will eliminate x- term

2x + 4y = 10 → (3)

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

0 + 3y = 6

3y = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

y = 2

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

Substituting into (2)

x + 2(2) = 5

x + 4 = 5 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

x = 1

solution is (1, 2 )

A student completed 1/4 of a workbook in 3/5 hour.He plans to work for 1 more hour at the same rate.What Fraction of the workboo

oee [108]

Workbook =x
1/4 3/5
x 5/5 (1 hour)
then x=(5/5 * 1/4):3/5
x= 5/20 * 5/3
x=1/4 *5/3
x= 5/12

Solve for x: x^2=a If a<0, then If a=0, then If a>0, then

Anastaziya [24]

if a > 0, there are two possible solutions:

$x^{2} = a\\\sqrt{x^{2} } = \sqrt{a} \\$

the square root of a square is the base in absolute value bars

$|x| = \sqrt{a}$

$x = -\sqrt{a} ; x = \sqrt{a}$

if a = 0, that means x = 0. anything multiplied by 0 is 0

if a < 0, there are no solutions because anything squared has to be positive

13.02-6y=8y using the method of solving linear equations

gregori [183]

well add -6y to 6y which equals 0 then add 8y to 6y which equals 14y

now you have 13.02=14y

now you can divide 13.02 divided into 14 which equals 0.93

0.93 = y

Which expressions have the same solution as –4(6)? Check all that apply.

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

4(-6), 6(-4), 12(-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

-4(6) = -4 x 6 = -24

4(-6) = 4 x -6 = -24

6(-4) = 6 x -4 = -24

12(-2) = 12 x -2 = -24
