Answer:

(3, - 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

- 2x + 4y = - 22 → (1)

2x + 8y = - 26 → (2)

Adding the 2 equations term by term will eliminate the x- term, that is

12y = - 48 ( divide both sides by 12 )

y = - 4

Substitute y = - 4 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

Substituting into (2)

2x + 8(- 4) = - 26

2x - 32 = - 26 ( add 32 to both sides )

2x = 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 3

solution is (3, - 4 )

Answee:

We have these two equations:

-2x +4y =-22

2x + 8y -26

We need to try to get the same number multiplying both x or y, I think we can make the 2 of the first equation negative, for that, we multiply all the equation by -1:

2x + 8y =-26  ---- -2x - 8y =26

Now we have this:

-2x +4y = -22

-2x -8y = 26

Now e substract both equations:

-2x - (-2x) +4y -(-8y) = -22-26

12y = -48

Y = -48/12 = -4

And we replace to get x

-2x + 4y = -22

-2x +4*(-4)=-22

-2x - 16 = -22

x= -6/-2 =3

the measure of angle s = 30 degrees, the measure of arc RS = 84 degrees and line RU is tangent to the circle at R. Find m angle
Paul [167]
Let O be the center of a circle. If <span>the measure of arc RS is 84 degrees, then m∠SOR=84^{0}. The triangle SOR is isoscales (because SO=OR as radii), so m∠RSO=m∠ORS=(180^{0}-84^{0}):2=48^{0}.
</span>
Line RU is tangent to the circle in point R, this means that m∠ORU=90^{0}.
Consider the triangle SRU. m∠RSU=30^{0}  and m∠SRU=48^{0}+90^{0}=138^{0}, then m∠RUS=180^{0}-30^{0}-138^{0}=12^{0}.
ANSWER: Correct choice B - 12^{0}.

Alex is 4 years younger than 2 times his sister's age. Write a rule that represents Alex's age x as a function of his sister's a
Vesna [10]

Answer:

y = 2x - 4; Alex is 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Alex is 4 years younger than 2 times his sister's age, and his sister is y and Alex is x, the function of y to x must be y = 2x - 4.

According to the rule, if Alex's sister is 11, Alex is 2 times that minus four. If you calculate that, you get

11 * 2 = 22

22 - 4 = 18

So Alex is 18 if his sister is 11.

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (-6,8)(−6,8) and (8,8)(8,8). Put your answer in fully reduced poin
Artemon [7]

Answer:

y=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope is y2-y1 over x2-x1

So its 8-(-6)  over 8-8 which equals 14/0 which means the equation of the line is y=8

This is a horizontal line on 8 on the y axis
