Isolate one term (x or y) in one of the equations
6x+6y=0
6x=-6y
X= -1y
Substitute x=-y into the other equation
-7(-y) + 2y =18
7y + 2y =18
9y=18
Y=2
Substitute y=2 into 6x+6y=0
6x + 6(2) = 0
6x + 12=0
6x= -12
X = -2
The key word here is *square* in "square flower garden".
So we need to find the area of the flower garden, and subtract it from the overall area of the yard. The remainder will be how much grass covers the yard.
Area of the Square flower garden:
7.5 * 7.5 = 56.25
Area of the Entire yard:
25 * 18 = 450
450 - 56.25 = 393.75 square feet of grass
Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:
Open the brackets first:

Simplify:

It is determined that this can't be factored, so rewrite the equation so you can complete the square.

Take the square of 1.5 and add it to both sides:

Factor:


or 
So 
or 
Answer:
100% growth rate or it doubles
Step-by-step explanation:
This is of the form
y = ab^x
where a is the initial value and
b is the growth/decay factor
b>1 growth
b<1 decay
Since b>1 it is growth
We determine the growth rate by
b-1
2-1 =1
Multiply by 100%
1*100% = 100 % growth rate
Answer:
Given sides 12, 16 and 20 can be the sides of right triangle.
Step-by-step explanation:
Sides of right triangle always follow the Pythagoras theorem.
i.e 
For the given Lengths 7, 40 and 41
We need to check if


That means, 
hence 7,40 and 41 can not be the sides of right triangle.
Next,
Given sides 12,16 and 20.
Again follow the similar process used in the above problem.

Therefore given sides 12,16 and 20 can be the sides of right triangle.
