Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
The first choice ( -12, 20)
Discussion:
Using matrix multiplication we find the equations:
1x + 1y = 8 (A)
2x + 3y = 36 (B)
Next, compute
2(A) - B =>
(2x + 2y) - (2x + 3y) = 2*8 - 36 =>
(2x - 2x) + ( 2y-3y) = 16 - 36 =>
-y = -20 =>
y = 20
Substituting this y value in (A) gives
x + 20 = 8 =>
x = 8 - 20 =>
x = -12
The answer is the first choice ( -12, 20)
Thank you,
MrB
I got 65/153 since you actually multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
(1, -6) and (-5, 2)
Distance between 1 and -5 = 6
Distance between -6 and 2 = 8
6²+8²=x² (PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM)
36+64=x²
x² = 100
x = 10
Note: Not -10 because <em>distance cannot be negative.</em>
<em>Answer:</em>
94.25m
<em>Explanation:</em>
× 
Solve for x.
(cross multiply & divide)
4.5 × 19.5 = 282.75
282.75 ÷ 3 = 94.25
