Answer:

y=4 x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

y=2x ⇒ I

y=10x-16 ⇒ II

y/2=2x/2

x=y/2 OR 1/2(y)

substitute I in II

y=10(y/2)-16

y=5y-16

SWAP -16 AND y

5y-y=16

4y/4=16/4

y=4

y=2x

(4)/2=2x/2

x=2

You would first plug in y to the other equation. It doesn’t matter which one you do. So it would look like...
2x=10x-16
Then you would move the like terms to one side
2x-10x=-16
-8x = 16
Then make the x alone by dividing -8 on both sides to solve for x.
X= 16/-8
x = -2
Hope this helped!

What is the value of x? A. 4 B. 4√3 C. 8 D. 8√3

SashulF [63]

Answer:

B. 4√3

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sin \: 60 \degree = \frac{x}{8} \\ \\ \therefore \: \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} = \frac{x}{8} \\ \\ \therefore \: x = \frac{8 \times \sqrt{3} }{2} \\ \\ \therefore \: x = 4 \times \sqrt{3}\\ \\ \huge \purple{ \boxed{ \therefore \: x = 4 \sqrt{3} }}\\$
