Answer: Choice B) (24,10)
---------------------------------------------------------
Work Shown:
2x - 4y = 8
2( x ) - 4y = 8
2( 3y-6 ) - 4y = 8 ... notice x has been replaced with 3y-6
2(3y)+2(-6) - 4y = 8
6y-12 - 4y = 8
2y-12 = 8
2y-12+12 = 8+12 ... add 12 to both sides
2y = 20
2y/2 = 20/2 ... divide both sides by 2
y = 10
If y = 10, then
x = 3y-6
x = 3*10-6 ... replace y with 10
x = 30-6
x = 24
Put together, the solution is (x,y) = (24,10)
which is why the answer is choice B
As a check, we can plug (x,y) = (24,10) into each equation
x = 3y-6
24 = 3*10 - 6
24 = 30 - 6
24 = 24 ... true equation
and similarly for the second equation as well
2x-4y = 8
2*24 - 4*10 = 8
48 - 40 = 8
8 = 8 ... true equation
Both equations are true when (x,y) = (24,10) so the solution is confirmed
Answer:
Domain (-4,6)
Range(5,0)
Step-by-step explanation:
The best way to multiply complicated problems mentally* is to break them into chunks.
Start with 20 times 8 to get 160, and then 8 times 5 to get 40. Add these together to get 200. 200 times 3 is 600, and 20 times 200 is 4000. Add these together to get your final answer, 4600.
In other words 8 x 20 + 8 x 5 = 200 200 x 3 + 200 x 20 = 4600
*I assumed you meant mentally, because otherwise you'd just multiply longhand, multiplying two of the three numbers and then multiplying their product with the third.
