If 2x + y = 23 and 4x – y = 19; find the value of x – 3y and 5y – 2x

Answer:

- 20 and 31

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the given equations simultaneously to find x and y

2x + y = 23 → (1)

4x - y = 19 → (2)

Adding the 2 equations term by term will eliminate y

6x + 0 = 42

6x = 42 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 7

Substitute x = 7 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting into (1)

2(7) + y = 23

14 + y = 23 ( subtract 14 from both sides )

y = 9

Then

x - 3y = 7 - 3(9) = 7 - 27 = - 20

5y - 2x = 5(9) - 2(7) = 45 - 14 = 31

I need help with #18,20,22 and 24. Please show your work and I'm really thankful for your help as soon as possible!
Artist 52 [7]
I'll start 18 and 22 for you, and you should then be able to do the rest on your own!

For 18, what we literally do is apply the distance formula for all the points and add them up. For B to C, we get the distance between them to be
sqrt((x1-x2)^2+(y1-y2)^2)=sqrt((0-4)^2+(3-(-1))^2)=sqrt((-4)^2+4^2)=sqrt(16+16)=sqrt(32). Repeat the process for C to E, E and F, and F to B then add the results up to get your answer!

For 22, since the area of a rectangle is length*width (we know given the right angles and that the opposite sides are equal in how long they are), we can multiply 2 perpendicular lines, for example, BC and CE to get sqrt(32)*sqrt(8)=16 as the area
