Answer:

x = 2 and y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of equations are :

12x+8y = 40 ...(1)

4x+5y = 18  ....(2)

Multiply equation (2) by 3.

12x+15y = 54 ...(3)

Subtract equation (1) by (3).

12x+15y-(12x+8y) = 54-40

12x+15y-12x-8y = 14

7y = 14

y = 2

Put the value of y in equation (2).

4x+5(2) = 18

4x+10 = 18

4x = 8

x = 2

The solutions of the given equations are x = 2 and y = 2

How can you use the formula for area of a parallelogram to determine the area of a trapezoid if you forgot the formula for area
son4ous [18]

You can put two identical trapezoids together to form a parallelogram with the same height as the trapezoid and a base length equal to the sum of the base lengths of the trapezoid. The area of the parallelogram is (b1 + b2)h, so the area of the trapezoid is one-half of this area.
