-converting to a common denominator
The terms -c of the left side was converted to -4ac/4a to have the same denominator of b^2/4a.
System: x + y = 44; x = 2y + 2
Solve with substitution: x = 30; y = 14
x + y = 44
x = 2y + 2
Substitute 2y + 2 for x
2y + 2 + y = 44
3y + 2 = 44
Subtract 2 on both sides.
3y = 42
y = 14
Now substitute back in.
x + 14 = 44
Subtract 14 on both sides.
x = 30
The distance between (5,5) and (1,5) is 4 blocks
Answer: The area of triangle ΔXYZ is 12 square inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
RS = 3 inches
XY = 2 inches
Area of ΔRST = 27 in²
Since ΔRST is similar to ΔXYZ.
So, using the "Area similarity theorem":

Hence, the area of triangle ΔXYZ is 12 square inches.
