Mathematics

Firlakuza [10]3 years ago

8 0

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-3y= -14

5x+9y= -2

multiply the first one by 5 and the second one by -2 to get equal and opposite value of x.

➡️when you multiply,it will be

10x-15y= -70

-10x-18y= 4

cancel out each x value,then you get

-15y-18y= -70+4

-33y= -66, divide each side by -33 to get the value of y

⚪️y= 2

➡️substitute the value of y in the equation of (2x-3y= -14) to find the value of x

2x-3(2)= -14

2x-6= -14

2x= -14+6

2x= -8 divide both side by 2

⚪️x= -4

so the answer is (-4,2)

Select the correct answer.

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

$19.2x+96$ units

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a square is 4 times the length of one side.

The length of the sides of a square is given by the expression $4.8x+24$

To find the perimeter, we multiply this expression by 4.

$Perimeter=4(4.8x+24)$

We expand to obtain:

$Perimeter=4*4.8x+4*24$

This simplifies to:

$Perimeter=19.2x+96$

Anton [14]

Answer: y = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine the like terms. -23y - 5 = 18
Add 5 on both sides. -23y = 23
Divide -23 on both sides. y = - 1
