In this problem why is the easiest to substitute.
Just set the equations equal to each other because they both equal y
-x + 4 = 2x - 8
(You want to get all the x's to one side so add x to each side)
4 = 3x - 8
(next add 8 to both sides)
12 = 3x
(lastly divide 3 from both sides)
4 = x
You have got your x so now it is time to find that y just replace x to either of the two equations
y = 2(4) -8 or y = -(4) + 4
y = 8 - 8 y = 0
y = 0
Final Answer: y=0, x=4
A polygon that has 4 sides and two sets of parallel sides is a parallelogram. In a parallelogram, each set of opposite sides is congruent, but all four sides do not have to be congruent.
30.(18) this is the answer I think but not sure
30.63 for 3 sets of pencils......that means each set cost (30.63 / 3) =
10.21....so the change in his account for 1 set of pencils is -$ 10.21 <=
