Answer:
(2, -1)
Step-by-step explanation:
We can add the first equation by the second
(4x + 6y = 2)+(-4x + 4y = -12)=
10y=-10
we divide both sides by 10 to get
y=-1
We plug -1 in the second equation to get:
-4x+4(-1)=-12
-4x-4=-12
-4x=-8
Now, we divide both sides by -4
x=2
Hope this helps!
To construct a circle that circumscribes to a triangle, you would have to construct a circle that where all vertices of the triangle are on the circle. To do this you would have to construct the perpendicular bisectors of each side with your compass and straight edge. Comment on this answer if you are unsure of how to construct a perpendicular bisect (it's a long fundamental process to describe, and I wouldn't want to lecture you one something you already know). Once you have done so, set your compass point on the point where all perpendicular bisectors intersect (they should intersect in ONE point, if not you will have to redo it). Set your other compass lead on one of the vertices and spin away! If you have done this correctly, you should hit all three vertices when spinning your compass. Hope this helps!
Fun fact: the point where all perpendicular bisectors intersect is called the circumcenter
Step-by-step explanation:
Total books = 368.
Sociology books = 92.
Psychology books = 3 times sociology books
= 3 x 92 = 276
Total = 276 + 92 = 368
450/15 = 30 mpg -- Adam's
416/13 = 32 mpg -- Kenny's
Kenny is going to get the better gas mileage at 32 mpg (miles per gallon)
Answer: Choice A) 15 feet
=====================================
x = length of fourth side in quadrilateral ABCD
Have a look at the attached image I've posted. I made a chart that lines up the side lengths from largest to smallest. Note how the first two items in the bottom row are blank. We don't know these values and we don't need to find out in order to find x.
Based on the last two columns of that table, we can form the proportion below, which is then used to isolate x.
30/12 = x/6
30*6 = 12*x ... cross multiply
180 = 12*x
12*x = 180
x = 180/12 ... divide both sides by 12
x = 15
