−
y
=
−
4
;
5

x
=
−
2
,
y
=
−
4
Explanation:
Right now, you have:
4
x
−
y
=
−
4
5
x
+
2
y
=
−
18
To make this easier, you must get rid of one variable, in this case I will remove
y
, to do this you must make the y-values in both equations the same.
To do this, I will multiply the whole of
4
x
−
y
=
−
4
by 2 to give
8
x
−
2
y
=
−
8
We now have:
8
x
−
2
y
=
−
8
5
z
+
2
y
=
−
18
All we need to do now is
(
8
x
−
2
y
+
5
x
+
2
y
)
=
(
−
18
−
8
)
≡
13
x
=
−
26
.
Divide both sides by 13 to find
x
:
13
x
=
−
26
13
x
13
=
−
26
13
x
=
−
2
Now put your value for
x
into either equation:
4
(
−
2
)
−
y
=
−
4
−
8
−
y
=
−
4
y
=
−
8
+
4
y
=
−
4
x
=
−
2
;
y
=
−
4

Hello!
You can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this
c is the hypotenuse
a and b are the legs
Put in the values you know
Square the numbers
Subtract 2.25 from both sides
Take the square root of both sides
b = 0.8
The answer is 0.8km
Hope this helps!
Pretty sure you have to use the Pythagorean Theorem.
a^2+b^2=c^2
So you would plug in your numbers that you already have (6 and 10) But notice that 10 is the hypotenuse (longest side) so
6^2+x=10^2
Then you would solve it and you should end up with 11.6619
