Solve algebrically 3x - 4y = -24 and x + 4y = 8 is x = -4 and y = 3
<u>Solution:</u>
We have been given two equations which are as follows:
3x - 4y = -24 ----- eqn 1
x + 4y = 8 -------- eqn 2
We have been asked to solve the equations which means we have to find the value of ‘x’ and ‘y’.
We rearrange eqn 2 as follows:
x + 4y = 8
x = 8 - 4y ------eqn 3
Now we substitute eqn 3 in eqn 1 as follows:
3(8 - 4y) -4y = -24
24 - 12y - 4y = -24
-16y = -48
y = 3
Substitute "y" value in eqn 3. Therefore the value of ‘x’ becomes:
x = 8 - 4(3)
x = 8 - 12 = -4
Hence on solving both the given equations we get the value of x and y as -4 and 3 respectively.

Answer: we are simply to subtract the length of the gold ribbon which is 2 4/6 ft from the length of the silver ribbon, 5 2/6 feet. Mathematically,
5 2/6 feet - 2 4/6 feet = 8/3 feet
Therefore, Gina has 8/3 feet more of the silver ribbon than the golden ribbon.
Answer:
centre = (- 3, - 2) , radius = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a circle in standard form is
(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²
where (h, k) are the coordinates of the centre and r is the radius
Given
x² + 6x + y² + 4y + 12 = 0 ( subtract 12 from both sides )
x² + 6x + y² + 4y = - 12
Use the method of completing the square on the x and y terms
add ( half the coefficient of the x/ y terms )² to both sides
x² + 2(3)x + 9 + y² + 2(2)y + 4 = - 12 + 9 + 4
(x + 3)² + (y + 2)² = 1 ← in standard form
with centre = (- (- 3), - (- 2)) and r² = 1, that is
centre = (- 3, - 2) and radius = 1
