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

or

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!

Can anyone help me solve this problem?​
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

x=58, m<DCB=56°

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok the sum of those two angles should equal 180 degrees so,

2x+8+x-2=180

solve the equation

3x+6=180

3x=174

x= 58

M<DCB=x-2--> 58-2=56

Using the rules for special cases, what is the result of?
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

C) 4x^2 -8x +4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

(-2x+2)^2

we apply (a+b)^2 formula

(a+b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab +b^2

a= -2x  and b= 2

Replace 'a' with -2x  and 'b' with 2

(-2x+2)^2 = (-2x)^2 + 2(-2x)(2) +2^2

(-2x)^2 is 4x^2

(-2x+2)^2 = 4x^2 -8x +4

option C is the answer

Help please mathematics 22 -24
Pavel [41]

Answer:  (22) $9,075     (23) $656.25      (24) $217.13

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Cost Function: C(x) = 5.75x + 8,000

              C(10,000) = 5.75(10,000) + 8,000

                                = 57,500     + 8,000

                                = 65,500

Revenue Function: R(x) = 9.50x

                        R(7,850) = 9.50(7,850)

                                       =    74,575

Profit Function: P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

                                 = 74,575 - 65,500

                                 = 9,075

*****************************************************************************

Retail = Unit Cost + Unit Cost × Markup

         =     $375    +         $375 × .75

         =     $375    +           $281.25

         =     $656.25

*****************************************************************************

$225 but if paid within 10 days there is a 3.5% discount

Discount = $225 - $225 × .035

               =  $225 -     $7.88

               =  $217.13
