Step by step:
Multiply the first one by -2 to be able to eliminate the x’s
-4x-10y=-28
Add them
-4x-10y=-28
4x+2y=-4
——————-
X’s cancel out your left with
-8y=-32
Divide by -8 to get y alone
Y= 4
Plug in for y to get x
4x+2(4)=-4
4x+8=-4
-8 -8
————-
4x=-12
x=-3
(-3,4)

Answer:

x=−3 and y=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the first equation by -2,and multiply the second equation by 1.

−2(2x+5y=14)

1(4x+2y=−4)

Becomes:

−4x−10y=−28

4x+2y=−4

Add these equations to eliminate x:

−8y=−32

Then solve−8y=−32for y:

−8y=−32

−8y

−8

=

−32

−8

(Divide both sides by -8)

y=4

Now that we've found y let's plug it back in to solve for x.

Write down an original equation:

2x+5y=14

Substitute4foryin2x+5y=14:

2x+(5)(4)=14

2x+20=14(Simplify both sides of the equation)

2x+20+−20=14+−20(Add -20 to both sides)

2x=−6

2x

2

=

−6

2

(Divide both sides by 2)

x=−3

Which expression is equivalent to 5x-30?<br> A. 5(x-30)<br> B. 5(x-6)<br> C. 5x(x-6)<br> D. x(5-30)
maxonik [38]
The answer is B because 5 times x is 5x and 5 times 6 is 30. Since there is a subtraction sign, it would be equal to 5x-30

Elenna [48]

Answer:

6 and 21 meters long

Step-by-step explanation:

You make an equation from what you got (there are 2 widths and 2 lengths)

2(4w-3)+2w=54---->10w-6=54---> 10w=60 ----> w=6 ---> plug in the rest and you get 21 as the length.

or... make W+L=28 and guess and check!!! takes longer but works!

Urgent help needed w/ right triangle trig
shusha [124]

Since this is a right triangle, you can use the main trig functions sin, cos, and tan. We must use sin for this problem because sin= opp/hyp. Plug in the numbers to this function. Sin (53) = a/25. Thus when you cross multiply, you get a= sin (53) x 25. When you plug it into a calculator the answer should come out to 19.97
