<h3><u>The value of x, the first number, is equal to 3.</u></h3><h3><u>The value of y, the second number, is equal to 7.</u></h3>

x + 3y = 24

5x + 3y = 36

We can subtract both equations from each-other to cancel out a variable.

After doing so, we're left with:

-4x = -12

Multiply each term by -1

4x = 12

Divide both sides by 4.

x = 3

Now that we have a value for x, we can solve for y.

Plug this value into the first equation.

3 + 3y = 24

Subtract 3 from both sides.

3y = 21

Divide both sides by 3.

y = 7

1kg costs £1.28. what is the cost of 250g
vivado [14]
First, convert 1 kg to g.

1 kg = 1000 g

So 1000 g = 1.28

Set up a proportion:

1000/1.28 = 250/x

Cross multiply:

1000x = 320

Divide 1000 to both sides:

x = 0.32

So 250g costs £0.32

Find the area of the following polygon
olganol [36]

Answer:

84 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can break the polygon into a rectangle and a triangle

The rectangle at the bottom is 12 by 4

A = 12*4 = 48

The triangle at the top has a base of 12 and a height of (10-4) = 6

A = 1/2 (12) *6 = 36

The total is the sum of the two areas

A = 48+36 =84 m^2

How can i find the equation of an ellipse if I'm only given 2 points that it contains, NOT including foci, vertices, OR major/mi
likoan [24]
I don't think two points is enough to determine a unique ellipse.  In fact,
I'm sure of that.  If you only have two point, then an infinite number of different
ellipses can be drawn through them.  I know it takes three points to determine
a circle, and I'm sure you need at least that many for an ellipse.
