If you know that y = 6. You just have to switch Y by 6.
x + 2y = 16
x + 2*6 = 16
x + 12 = 16
x = 16 - 12
x= 4
4 + 2*6 = 16
Hope this helps !

The answer is z = -13.9
In order to solve this, you need to use inverse operations. The inverse operation of addition is subtraction. So, this is the function we'll use
4.9 + z = -9 ----> subtract 4.9 from both sides
z = -13.9
Answer:
2.25 and 4.95
Step-by-step explanation:
x + y = 7.2
x - y = 2.7
x = 7.2 - y
x - y = 2.7
(7.2 - y) - y = 2.7
7.2 - 2y = 2.7
-2y = 2.7 - 7.2
-2y = -4.5
-2y/-2 = -4.5/-2
y = 2.25
x + y = 7.2
x + 2.25 = 7.2
x = 7.2 - 2.25
x = 4.95
Check: 4.95 and 2.25
x + y = 7.2
(4.95) + (2.25) = 7.2
7.2 = 7.2
x - y = 2.7
(4.95) - (2.25) = 2.7
2.7 = 2.7
Answer:
<h3>
The width (side perpedicular to the barn):
<u>x = 8 m</u></h3><h3> The lenght (side parallel to the barn):
<u>y = 16 m</u> </h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
x - the width of the barn
She has 32 m of fencing so for the lenght remain (32-2x) m of fencing:
y = 32 - 2x
Area of the fencing: A = x•y
A(x) = x•(32 - 2x)
A(x) = -2x² + 32x ← quadratic function
The maximum value of quadratic function occurs at: 
a = -2, b = 32
32-2x = 32 - 2•8 = 16
Answer:
x = 9/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Locate point G on segment DE so that DG = 1 and GE = 4. CG is parallel to AD, so ΔCGE ~ ΔABC. Corresponding sides are proportional.
AB/BC = CG/GE
x/1 = 9/4
x = 9/4
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
Using the given triangles, you can write the proportion statement as ...
(9+x)/x = 5/1
We judge this to take more steps to solve, so we prefer the method shown above.
