The answer is 9. there are 9 different combinations to choose from.
Answer:
X=3
Y=1
Step-by-step explanation:
In solving simultaneous equations, there are three methods, we have the elimination method, substitution method or graphical method. But for the purpose of this question, we would be using Elimination method.
5y-4x =-7 Equation 1
2y+4x=14 Equation 2
Since x has the same coefficient, it's easy to eliminate by adding up the two equations
5y+2y=7y
-4x+(+4x)=0
-7+(+14)=7
We have 7y=7
Divide both sides by 7,
y=7/7
y=1
Substituting for y in equation 2.
2(1)+4x=14
2+4x=14
4x=14-2
4x=12
x=12/4
x= 3
A=base times height
A=10 times 7
A=70 cm²
