Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x = -5/8 and y = -7/4

so

Answer:

x = -0.625

y = - 1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2x - 1/2  ------------(I)

2x - 3y = 4   ---------(II)

Substitute y =2x - 1/2 in (II)

2x - 3*(2x -  \dfrac{1}{2})=4\\\\\\2x - 6x +  \dfrac{3}{2}=4\\\\-4x =  4-\dfrac{3}{2} =  \dfrac{8}{4}- \dfrac{3}{2}\\\\-4x =  \dfrac{5}{2}\\\\x = \dfrac{5}{2}* \dfrac{1}{-4}\\\\x=  \dfrac{-5}{8}\\\\x= -0.625

Plugin x = -0.625 in equation (I)

y = 2*(-0.625) - 0.5\\\\y = -1.25 - 0.5\\\\y = -1.75

The base of a pyramid has n sides.<br> Write an EXPRESSION for the number of faces of the pyramid.
ser-zykov [4K]
<span>In general, if the pyramid has 'x' sides, then it will have 'x' lateral faces. Total Number of Faces = Number of Base Faces + Number of Lateral Faces. Total Number of Faces = 2 + x. So the formula is F=x%2B2 where "x" is the number of sides that the pyramid has and "F" is the total number of faces.</span>

(y - 2)2 = y2 – 6y + 4<br> Is this statement true or false?
trasher [3.6K]
<h3>Answer: False</h3>

==============================================

Explanation:

I'm assuming you meant to type out

(y-2)^2 = y^2-6y+4

This equation is not true for all real numbers because the left hand side expands out like so

(y-2)^2

(y-2)(y-2)

x(y-2) .... let x = y-2

xy-2x

y(x)-2(x)

y(y-2)-2(y-2) ... replace x with y-2

y^2-2y-2y+4

y^2-4y+4

So if the claim was (y-2)^2 = y^2-4y+4, then the claim would be true. However, the right hand side we're given doesn't match up with y^2-4y+4

--------------------------

Another approach is to pick some y value such as y = 2 to find that

(y-2)^2 = y^2-6y+4

(2-2)^2 = 2^2 - 6(2) + 4 .... plug in y = 2

0^2 = 2^2 - 6(2) + 4

0 = 4 - 6(2) + 4

0 = 4 - 12 + 4

0 = -4

We get a false statement. This is one counterexample showing the given equation is not true for all values of y.

Find the value of x (really need help with this)
qwelly [4]

Answer:

x=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles of a triangle are 180 degrees

40 + x+57 + 90 =180

Combine like terms

187 +x = 180

Subtract 187 from each side

187-187 +x = 180-187

x = -7
