Answer:

(8) $x + y = -8$ and $2x - y = -10$

(9) $3x - y = -54$ and $4x + y = -30$

(10) $x + y = 2$ and $x - y = 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given [Missing from the question]

$(8).\ (-6,-2)\ \\ (9).\ (-12,18)\ \\ (10).\ (2,0)$

Required

Write a system of linear equations

The solutions to this question is open and have different solutions

Solving (8) (-6,-2)

Let the equations be: x + y and 2x - y

$x + y = -6 - 2$

$x + y = -8$ --- (1)

$2x - y = 2 * (-6) - (-2)$

$2x - y = -10$ -- (2)

So, the equations are:

$x + y = -8$ and $2x - y = -10$

Solving (9) (-12, 18)

Let the equations be: 3x - y and 4x + y

$3x - y = 3 *(-12) - 18$

$3x - y = -54$

$4x + y = 4 * (-12) + 18$

$4x + y = -30$

So, the equations are:

$3x - y = -54$ and $4x + y = -30$

Solving (9): (2,0)

Let the equations be: x + y and x - y

$x + y = 2 + 0$

$x + y = 2$

$x - y = 2 - 0$

$x - y = 2$

So, the equations are:

$x + y = 2$ and $x - y = 2$

Pls help, I don’t understand how to do this

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

5 parts are shaded and 4 parts are white so:

There are 9 parts all together.

We can then form ratio's of the white areas and the shaded areas:

White Area Ratio =

$\frac{4}{9}$

Shaded Area Ratio =

$\frac{5}{9}$

Let the area of sqaure be equated to x, which means let the entire area of the square equal to x:

x = Area of whole square

Now we can form an equation :

$\frac{5}{9} x = 165$

So now we just need to solve for x:

$x = \frac{165}{ \frac{5}{9} }$

$x = 297$

The area of the square is:

$297 {cm}^{2}$

Answer: 32.14 after round off it will be 32

Step-by-step explanation:

This is how to round 32.14 to the nearest whole number. In other words, this is how to round 32.14 to the nearest integer.

32.14 has two parts. The integer part to the left of the decimal point and the fractional part to the right of the decimal point:

Integer Part: 32

Fractional Part: 14

Our goal is to round it so we only have an integer part using the following rules:

If the first digit in the fractional part of 32.14 is less than 5 then we simply remove the fractional part to get the answer.

If the first digit in the fractional part of 32.14 is 5 or above, then we add 1 to the integer part and remove the fractional part to get the answer.

The first digit in the fractional part is 1 and 1 is less than 5. Therefore, we simply remove the fractional part to get 32.14 rounded to the nearest whole number as:

Find (r-s) (t-s) + (s-r) (s-t) for all numbers r, s, and t. (a) 0 (b) 2 (c) 2rt (d) 2(s-r) (t-s) (e) 2(r-s) (t-s)

lyudmila [28]

Notice that the 2 expressions have 2 common terms.

(r-s) is just (s-r) times (-1)

similarly

(t-s) is just (s-t) times (-1)

this means that :

(r-s) (t-s) + (s-r) (s-t)=-(s-r)[-(s-t)]+(s-r) (s-t)

the 2 minuses in the first multiplication cancel each other so we have:

-(s-r)[-(s-t)]+(s-r) (s-t)=(s-r) (s-t)+(s-r) (s-t)=2(s-r) (s-t)
