We are given the system of equations -:

\large{ \begin{cases} 2x + 3y =  - 14 \\ y = 6x + 22 \end{cases}}

Since the second equation is y-isolated equation. It can be substituted as y = 6x+22 in the first equation.

\large{2x + 3(6x + 22) =  - 14}

Expand 3 in the expression so we can combine like terms and isolate x-variable.

\large{2x + 18x + 66 =  - 14}

Then combine like terms.

\large{20x + 66 =  - 14}

Get rid of 66 from the left side by subtracting both sides by itself.

\large{20x + 66 - 66 =  - 14 - 66} \\  \large{20x =  - 80}

To finally isolate the variable, divide both sides by 20 so we can leave x only on the left side.

\large{ \frac{20x}{20}  =  \frac{ - 80}{20} }

Simplify to the simplest form.

\large{x =  - 4}

Normally, we have to find the y-value too but since we only find x-value. The answer is x = -4.

Answer

  • x = -4

Branda and Laurie have rectangular shaped backyards. Branda's yard measures 35 feet by 90 feet. Laurie's yard measures 40 feet b
tia_tia [17]
To find the area of each backyard, we need to multiply the length and width together.

For Branda, her yard is 35 by 90, which means the area is 35*90 which = 3150.

For Laurie, her yard is 40 by 65, which means the area is 40*65 which = 2600.

Now, we are asked to find the difference between Branda and Lauries yard areas. The difference means how much larger Branda's area is than Lauries. 

This means we have to subtract Laurie's area from Branda's.

So, we do 3150 - 2600 = 550 

So, our answer is 550ft^2

Alik [6]

Answer:

Option D.) 236 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle GFE is half of the central angle. Measure of central angle is congruent to it's intersecting arc, therefore;

<em>2 * ∠GFE = Arc GE (?)</em>

2 * 118 = Arc GE (?)

<u>236 = Arc GE (?)</u>

Hope this helps!
