y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3y = 6. #1

2x + y = -2. #2

Subtract Eq 2 from Eq 1,

3y - y = 6 - (-2)

2y = 8

y = 4

Answer:

y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3y = 6

2x + y = -2

Let's set the second equation equal to y. This means that y will be alone on one side of the equal sign.

2x + y = -2

Subtract 2x from both sides.

y = -2x - 2

Now that we have y as an expression, plug it into the first equation.

2x + 3y = 6

2x + 3(-2x - 2) = 6

Distribute the 3 across the parentheses by multiplying.

2x - 6x - 6 = 6

Combine like terms.

-4x = 12

Divide both sides by -4.

x = -3

Now we have solved x.

To solve for y, plug x back into one of the equations.

y = -2x - 2

y = -2(-3) - 2

Multiply.

y = 6 - 2

Subtract.

y = 4

Check your answer by plugging both values back into the original equations.

2x + 3y = 6

2(-3) + 3(4) = 6

Multiply.

-6 + 12 = 6

Add.

6 = 6

Your answer is correct.

Hope this helps!

Please help me I need help please

Answer:

p = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

$x^2+(p-3)y^2-4x+6y-16=0$

Standard equation of a circle:

$(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2$

(where $(a,b)$ is the centre of the circle, and $r$ is the radius)

If you expand this equation, you will see that the coefficient of $y^2$ is always one.

Therefore, $p-3=1$

$\implies p=1+3=4$

Additional information

To rewrite the given equation in the standard form:

$\implies x^2+y^2-4x+6y-16=0$

$\implies x^2-4x+y^2+6y=16$

$\implies (x-2)^2-4+(y+3)^2-9=16$

$\implies (x-2)^2+(y+3)^2=16+4+9$

$\implies (x-2)^2+(y+3)^2=29$

So this is a circle with centre (2, -3) and radius √29

If y is the circumcenter is angle STU find each measure

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Measures are SV=9 units., SY=14 units, YW= $\sqrt75units$ , YW= $\sqrt27units$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Y is the circumcenter of ΔSTU. we have to find the measures SV, SY, YW and YX.

As Circumcenter is equidistant from the vertices of triangle and also The circumcenter is the point at which the three perpendicular bisectors of the sides of the triangle meet.

Hence, VY, YW and YX are the perpendicular bisectors on the sides ST, TU and SU.

Given ST=18 units.

As VY is perpendicular bisector implies SV=9 units.

Also in triangle VTY

$YT^{2}=VY^{2}+VT^{2}$

⇒ $14^{2}=VY^{2}+9^{2}$

⇒ VY^{2}=115

As vertices of triangle are equidistant from the circumcenter

⇒ SY=YT=UY=14 units

Hence, SY is 14 units

In ΔUWY, $UY^{2}=YW^{2}+UW^{2}$

⇒ $14^{2}=YW^2+11^{2}$

⇒ $YW^2=196-121=75$ ⇒ YW= $\sqrt75units$

In ΔYXU, $UY^{2}=YX^{2}+XU^{2}$

⇒ $14^{2}=YX^2+13^{2}$

⇒ $YX^2=196-169=27$ ⇒ YW= $\sqrt27units$

Hence, measures are SV=9 units., SY=14 units, YW= $\sqrt75units$ , YW= $\sqrt27units$

A child should no longer use a booster seat when they reach 4'9" tall. Jannet is 59 inches tall can she go without a booster sea

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

4'9" is 57 inches. Jannet is taller than that, so should go without a booster seat.

___

Feet to Inches

1 foot is 12 inches, so 4 feet is 4×12 = 48 inches. Adding 9 inches to that gives ...

... 4' 9" = 57 inches

Which is the better by three toy cars for 7.50 or seven Toycars for 16.45

Len [333]

Answer:If I’m correct I believe seven you cars for 16.45 would be better

Step-by-step explanation:

Since three cars cost 7.50 you would divide 7.50 to get the cost for each car which would give you 2.50 and since seven cars cost 16.45 you would divide 16.45 by 7 to get the cost of each car which would come out to 2.35 making it a better buy
