Solve for the first variable in one of the equations, then substitute the result into the other equation.
Point Form: (-1,0)
Equation form: x=-1,y=0
By the pythagorean theorem, we know that (leg1)^2 + (leg2)^2 = hypotenuse^2. to see the proof refer to the following link: http://jwilson.coe.uga.edu/EMT668/EMT668.Student.Folders/HeadAngela/essay1/Pythagorean.html
plugging in what we know we have 16^2 + leg^2 = 20^2 and we find that leg = 12.
What percent is 12 out of 40
4.8
Hey there!!
Given equation :
... -4 ( x + 10 ) - 6 = -3 ( x - 2 )
Using the distributive property :
... -4x - 40 - 6 = -3x + 6
Combining like terms :
... -4x - 46 = -3x + 6
Adding 46 on both sides :
... -4x = -3x + 52
Adding 3x on both sides :
... -x = 52
... x = -52
Hope helps!
