Answer:

x-2y=10-------equation 1

3x+y=-12-------equation 2

multiply equation 1 by 3 and subtract eqn 2 by equation 1 then we get,

3x-6y=30

3x+y=-12

(-) (-) (+)

---------------

-7y=42

or, -y= 42÷7

or, y=-6

put the value of y in equation 1

x-2×(-6)=10

or, x+12=10

or x=10-12

or, x = -2

therefore x = -2 and y=-6 ans.

A rectangular field measures 227 by 56 yards. How far is it to walk from one corner of the field to the opposite corner? How far

GaryK [48]

Answer:

233.8 Yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Length of a rectangular field, l = 227 yards

Breadth of a rectangular field, l = 56 yards

Let x is the distance from one corner of the field to the opposite corner. It can be calculated using Pythagoras theorem,

$x=\sqrt{l^2+b^2} \\\\x=\sqrt{(227)^2+(56)^2} \\\\x=233.8\ \text{Yards}$

So, the distance from one corner of the field to the opposite corner is 233.8 Yards.

Two equations are given below:

Vadim26 [7]

For this equation, we can just plug in the equation of m in for m. This makes the equation: n - 2 + 3n = 10. We then only have to solve for n. We add 2 to both sides, making it n + 3n = 12, is which is also 4n = 12. We then divide both sides by 4, getting n = 3. The only answer saying n = 3 is the first.
