Answer:

x=3

y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 6-y

-plug in (6-y) into first equation

2(6-y)+3y = 15

12-2y+3y=15

-2y+3y = 3

y=3

x=6-3

x=3

double check:

(2*3) + (3*3) = 6 + 9 = 15

3 + 3 = 6

Answer:

x = 3

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3y = 15

x + y = 6

2x + 3y = 15

x(-3) + y(-3) = 6(-3)

2x + 3y = 15

-3x - 3y = -18

Add:

2x + 3y = 15

-3x - 3y = -18

- x = -3

x = 3

Substitute x to any of the equation:

x + y = 6

3 + y = 6

y = 6 - 3

y = 3

Can someone help me find the area of the following figure
ExtremeBDS [4]
1. The area of the full rectangle is 21 * 28 = 588. We will need this later. 

Like you drew, there is an imaginary triangle missing. We can find the dimensions of it by subtracting from the given information. The shorter leg of it is 21 - 12 = 9, the longer leg is 28 - 14 = 14.

Now we find the area of the triangle. Area of a triangle is 1/2 * base * height. So 1/2 * 9 * 14 = 1/2 * 126 = 63. 

Now we do the full area of 588 minus the area of the missing triangle piece. 

588 - 63 = 525 ft²

2. Do the area of the rectangle and then this time add on the area of the triangle. 7 * 15 = 105. Area of the triangle = 1/2 * 2 * 7 = 1/2 * 14 = 7. 

105 + 7 = 112 in²

Eddie Hibbs earns a gross income of $42,300 a
Maslowich

Using proportions, it is found that his tax rate is of 28.84%.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct(when both increase or both decrease) or inverse proportional(when one increases and the other decreases, or vice versa), can be built to find the desired measures in the problem, or equations to find these measures.

His tax rate is the proportion that the <u>deductions are of the total salary</u>, hence:

12,200/42,300 = 0.2884 = 28.84%.

Hence his tax rate is of 28.84%.
