Answer:

x = -1

y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a system of equations- the set up of the problem lends well to using the elimination method. There are always many ways of solving a system of equations, both in methods and different strategies within each method. The problem isn't necessarily complete but I can assume you're being asked to solve for x and y values.

divide the first equation by -2. this means we can use elimination to cancel out the y value, and is also our simplest option (rather than multiplying the second equation by -2.

-2x + 20y = -18 --> x - 10y = 9

x - 10y = 9

8x + 10y = -18

Using the elimination method to essentially add the parts of the equations together, this comes out to 9x = -9 , meaning x = -1 .

We can then return to our original equations, and substitute -1 for x (either equation will work, but the second one is simpler and therefore the better option).

8 (-1) +10y = -18

-8 + 10y = -18

10y = -10

y = -1

CHECKING

Substitute both x and y values back into the original equations to check them. the sides should be equal if our values are correct.

-2 (-1) + 20 (-1) = -18

Our first equation works: 2 - 20 = -18

8 (-1) + 10 (-1) = -18

The second equation works as well: -8-10= -18

What would the answer to this question be? show work please
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a rectangular prism is the length times width times height.

V = LWH

V = (4√3)(3√6)W

V = 12√18 W

V = 36√2 W

If the volume is irrational, then W cannot have a radical that is half of a perfect square, because when multiplied by √2, that would yield a rational volume.  For example, √18 × √2 = √36 = 6.

Therefore, the answer must be B, because 12 is not half of a perfect square.

V = 36√2 (4√12)

V = 144√24

V = 288√6
