2x+4y=0
3x+y=10
So what we want to do is get y onto one side by itself using whatever equation you like.
So I'm taking 2x+4y=0 and subtracting 4y from both sides
So we end up with
2x=4y
Divide both sides by four
2/4x is 1/2 x
So we get 1/2x=y
Take this and plug it into the other equation
3x+y=10
3x+1/2x=10
Add your like terms
3 1/2x=10
Putting 3 1/2 as a mixed number we get 7/2
So..
7/2x=10
Multiply by the opposite of 7/2 on both sides
Which is 2/7 this will cancel out the left side.
So we end up with
X= 10•2/7
X=20/7
Which is 2 and 6/7 as a mixed number.
The second option. Angles 2 and 6 are corresponding angles, and 6 and 7 make a linear pair, so 2 and 7 are supplementary.
The first option doesn’t even mention angle 7, the third option doesn’t mention angle 2, and the last option doesn’t mention 7 either.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First write the question as an equation
x+y = -5
2x+y = -2
From the given equations, we can create a third one.
x+y+2x+y = -7 or 3x+2y = -7
Use trial and error method for the possible values x and y
We know that at least one of these two have to be negative.
x can be 1, in which case y has to be 5.
Check this for
x+y ≠ -5
x can be -1
Try another one where x = -1 and y has to equal -2
Check this
X
x+y = -5
but,
2x+y ≠ -2
Another one,
X=-y+10/7y
