Notice the picture
the rhombus, or kite, is really just 4 triangles
all sides are the same lenght in a rhombus,
thus, find the area of all of the triangles,
and you already have two sides given,
and then, add them up
or just find the length of one, and multiply times 4 :)
recall, area of a triangle = 1/2 bh
He can make 32 sandwiches. Since he uses 1/8 pound of cheese for each sandwich, he can make 8 sandwiches using 1 pound of cheese (1/8 x 8 = 1). Now that you know he can make 8 sandwiches with 1 pound of cheese, multiply 8 (this is the sandwiches) by 4 (pounds of cheese).
Answer:
x = -8
y = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + 7y = 9
2x - 3y = -37
1.) First, multiply each side to match either y-values or x-values. (In this example, we'll use match x-values)
10x + 14y = 18 (multiplied by 2)
10x - 15y = -185 (multiplied by 5)
2.) Then, subtract the entirety of one equation to isolate the y-value.
10x + 14y = 18
-10x + 15y = 185
3.) Add and subtract values and divide to find y.
29y = 203
y = 7
4.) Plug-in y to solve for x into one equation, or repeat steps 1-3.
15x + 21y = 27
14x - 21y = -259
29x = -232
x = -8
