Solve using elimination. x-2y=10 3x+y=-12

Mathematics
1 answer:
Nat2105 [25]3 years ago
5 0

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.

Please answer this!! (In your own words.) The best answer gets brainliest!<br><br> Find the area:
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

<em>97.5 sq. ft.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Im presuming the question asks to find area of the shaded region.

First of all, the total figure is a rectangle. We can write an expression(in words) for the shaded area.

<em>Shaded Area = Area of Rectangle - Area of Small Triangle(White) - Area of Large Triangle(White)</em>

Now, we find respective areas.

Area of rectangle:

length * width = (5+10) * (12) = 15 * 12 = 180

Area of Small Triangle (white):

A = (1/2) * base * height = (1/2) * 5 * (12-3) = (1/2) * 5 * 9 = 22.5

Area of Large Triangle (white):

A = (1/2) * base * height = (1/2) * 10 * (12) = 60

Now, we find area of shaded region:

<em>Shaded Area = Area of Rectangle - Area of Small Triangle(White) - Area of Large Triangle(White)</em>

<em>Shaded Area = 180 - 22.5 - 60 = 97.5 sq. ft.</em>
