Solve the simultaneous equations 3x+y=172 x+y=12
1 answer:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
(x, y) = (80, -68)
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract the second equation from the first.
(3x +y) -(x +y) = (172) -(12)
2x = 160 . . . . . . . . . simplify
x = 80 . . . . . . . . . divide by 2
y = 12 -x = 12 -80 = -68 . . . . . find y from the second equation
The solution is (x, y) = (80, -68).

Step-by-step explanation:
The coordinates of each point are (x, y).
J (-2, -3)
K (0, 2)
L (1, -4)
After being scaled by 1.5 about the origin, the coordinates are (1.5x, 1.5y).
J (-3, -4.5)
K (0, 3)
L (1.5, -6)
