Answer:

x=2 y= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+2y = -2

x+y = -1 (dividing both sides with 2

x+1 = -y

3x - 2y = 12

3x + (-y)(2) = 12

3x + (x+1)(2) = 12

3x+2x+2=12

5x+2=12

x=2

-y= 1+2

y= -3

Answer:

(2,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

by elemination

2x + 2y = –2

3x – 2y = 12

cross out the 2y and -2y because the cancle each other.

that leaves 2x= -2

and             3x = 12.

simply add/subtract. 2x+3x=5x

                                  -2+12=10.

                                    5x=10

                                    x=2.

now for the y. we have x so all we have to do is plug.

take any equation.   2x + 2y = –2  and plug 2 into the x.

2(2)+ 2y = –2

4+2y= -2

-2-4= -6

2y=-6

y=-3.

put x and y into ordered pairs

(2,-3) and done.

easy peasy.

The perimeter of a square shaped garden is (16x+20) feet. Write an expression to represent the length of one side of the garden.
expeople1 [14]
4x+5 feet

A square has 4 sides, and all of them are the same size. Because of this, you divide the whole expression by 4, and you’re left with 4x+5.

16x/4=4x
20/4=5
