Answer:
Multiply the top equation by two because both y value will become opposites and will eliminate.

Answer
k = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
First we turn the equation into y = mx+b format then we we can plug in the value y= 4 and get 4 = -2x + 2
subtract two from both sides so 2= -2x divide btoh sides by 2 and get x = -1
since we know those two triangles are similar then we can use proportions.

Answer:306
Step-by-step explanation:
since the width of the bottom square is 10, you split it between the triangles on top. You have to do this because 7 is not the whole width of the two triangles. So then the width of the triangles would be 12, 12 times 9 is 108, you'd have 216 total for both triangles and then the area of the square is 90, 90 plus 216 is 306.
Let the amount saved by the brother that has less savings be x, then the savings of the other brother is x + 15.
Since their total savings is 55, then
x + x + 15 = 55
2x + 15 = 55
2x = 55 - 15 = 40
x = 40 / 2 = 20
Therefore, one person saved 20 and the other saved 20 + 15 = 35.
