Answer:

x = 9

y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up equations:

x + y = 15

x - y = 3

Let's rearrange one of these equations to use the substitution method:

x - y = 3

Add y to each side:

x = y + 3

Substitute in for x:

x + y = 15

y + 3 + y = 15

Combine like terms:

( y + y ) + 3 = 15

2y + 3 = 15

Subtract 3 from each side:

2y = 12

Divide each side by 2:

y = 6

Substitute this in to find the other variable:

x + y = 15

x + 6 = 15

Subtract 6 from each side:

x = 9

Factor the expression below
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

(2x² + 5x + 2) = (2x + 1)(x +2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is (2x² + 5x + 2).

We have to factorize the given expression.

(2x²+ 5x + 2) = 2x² + 4x + x + 2

                     = 2x(x + 2) + 1(x + 2)

                     = (2x + 1)(x + 2)

So the factored form of the given expression will be (2x + 1)(x + 2).

Given the equation -2x + 8y = 24, determine the x- and y-intercepts. PLZ HELP???
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

x=(-12,0)

y=(0,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>x-intercept</em></u>

-2(x-4y)=24

x-4y=-\frac{24}{2}

x-4y=-12

x=4y-12

x=4(0)-12

x=-12

<u><em>y-intercept </em></u>

-2(x-4y)=24

x-4y=-\frac{24}{2}

x-4y=-12

-4y=-12-x

y=-\frac{-12-x}{4}

y=-\frac{-12-(0)}{4}

y=\frac{12}{4}

y=3
