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:
15feet squared
Step-by-step explanation:
Area= Length x height
= 5x3
= 15feet squared
At 10 square yards, both of the prices would be at $180
Answer:
Centimeters might be easier because they can be much more precise than inches when there isn't an ideal length. Kilometers might be easier because it would not require such large numbers to work with.

Answer:
617 ^ 15
Step-by-step explanation:
If the bases are the same when multiplying, add the exponents
617 ^ 9 * 617^6
617 ^(9+6)
617 ^ 15
