Draw the graph of the equation
1 answer:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
24 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle is a right triangle with legs 6 and 8. Its area is ...
A = 1/2bh = 1/2(6)(8) = 24 . . . . square units
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
The equation for a line in <em>intercept form</em> is ...
x/a + y/b = 1
where 'a' and 'b' are the x- and y-intercepts, respectively. If we divide the given equation by 2, we get ...
x/6 +y/8 = 1
showing us that the x- and y-intercepts are 6 and 8. This is also clear on the graph.

Answer:
y= = 0.75
Step-by-step explanation:
To subtract the second equation from the first equation, you have to divide the equation as left of the equal sign and right of equal sign then do the calculation separately. The calculation will look like this
-3x +2y = 7
-3x - 2y = 4
_____________ -
(-3x +2y) - (3x -2y) = 7 - 4
-3x + 2y + 3x + 2y = 3
4y= 3
y= = 0.75
