Answer:

x=4

y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+2y=12

x−y=2

​In order to solve by elimination, coefficients of one of the variables must be the same in both equations so that the variable will cancel out when one equation is subtracted from the other.

2x+2y=12,x−y=2

To make 2x and x equal, multiply all terms on each side of the first equation by 1 and all terms on each side of the second by 2.

2x+2y=12,2x+2(−1)y=2×2

Simplify.

2x+2y=12,2x−2y=4

Subtract 2x−2y=4 from 2x+2y=12 by subtracting like terms on each side of the equal sign.

2x−2x+2y+2y=12−4

Add 2x to −2x. Terms 2x and −2x cancel out, leaving an equation with only one variable that can be solved.

2y+2y=12−4

Add 2y to 2y.

4y=12−4

Add 12 to −4.

4y=8

Divide both sides by 4.

y=2

Substitute 2 for y in x−y=2. Because the resulting equation contains only one variable, you can solve for x directly.

x−2=2

Add 2 to both sides of the equation.

x=4

The system is now solved.

x=4,y=2

Correct choice is B) x=4.

answer is 4

because y=2 then you subsistute it in and then you find X

x-y=2 turns to x=y+2 then you subsistute that into x of the equation 2x+2y=12 which then is 2(y+2)+2y =12 and you should get y=2 then you grab the other equation x-2=2 and you should get x=4

Three reasons why the other method is not better is because to use drawing program would mean you would need some sort of technology and electricity to use it and some places, like third world countries, do not have access to that, so most probably you would have to resort to paper. Also, drawing programs are based off the skills needed to create geometric figures with a straightedge and compass. And lastly, what if we had no more technology anymore? Then how would we use a drawing program? Drawing programs are only reliable when electricity is located.

SO THE ANSWER IS A hope it help :)

Answer:

h = 4.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a trapezoid is given by

A = 1/2 (b1+b2) h

We know A b1 and b2

20.25 = 1/2 (5+4)*h

20.25 = 9/2 h

Multiply each side by 2/9 to isolate h

2/9 * 20.25 = 2/9 *9/2 h

4.5 =h

What is the slope called if zero is on the numerator or top of the fraction?
kow [346]
Slope does not exist. A zero in the numerator means you have a horizontal line.

Solve for x<br> Logx-log(x+13)=1<br><br> Step by step explanation please
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying logarithm rule

Log A - Log B= Log(A/B). Division rule

Now, Logx-log(x+13)=1

Log(x/(x+13))=1

Assume that the log is a natural log whose base is 10.

Then apply logarithm law

Log10 base 10=1

Comparing this to Log(x/(x+13))=1

This implies that

x/(x+13)=10

x=10(x+13)

x=10x+130

x-10x=130

-9x=130

x=130/-9

x=-14.444
