Step-by-step explanation:

4x+5y=4 (equation 1)

2x-y=9 (equation2)

solving equation 1 and 2 and multiplying equation 2 by 2

4x+5y=4

4x-2y=18

- + -

________

7y= -14

y= -2

putting the value of y in equation 2

2x-y=9

2x+2=9

2x=7

x=3.5

Answer:

x= \dfrac 72, ~~y= -2

Step by step explanation:

4x+5y=4~~~...(i)\\\\2x-y=9~~~...(ii)\\\\\text{Multiply eq (ii) by 2 to isolate x:}\\\\4x-2y=18~~~.....(iii)\\\\(iii)-(i):\\\\4x-2y-4x-5y=18-4\\\\\implies -7y=14\\\\\implies y = -\dfrac{14}7 = -2\\\\\text{Substitute}~ y=-2~ \text{in equation (iii):}\\\\4x-2(-2) = 18\\\\\implies 4x +4 = 18\\\\\implies 4x = 18-4\\\\\implies 4x = 14\\\\\implies x = \dfrac{14}4 = \dfrac 72\\\\\text{Hence}~ (x,y) =\left(\dfrac 72 , -2 \right)

In 1 and 2, use the table below that shows information about squares.
frutty [35]

1. The table has a constant of proportionality of 4, therefore, the perimeter and side length of squares are proportional.

2. Equation for the proportion is, y = 4x.

Perimeter = 48 cm.

<h3>What is the Equation of a Proportional Relationship?</h3>

The equation that defines a proportional relationship is, y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality between variables x and y.

1. For the table given:

y = perimeter

x = side length

k = constant of proportionality = 8/2 = 16/4 = 24/6 = 4.

Since k is the same all through, the equation can be modelled as y = 4x, which means the perimeter and side length of squares are proportional.

2. Using the equation, y = 4x,the perimeter (y) of a square when its side length is 12 (x) is:

y = 4(12)

y = 48 cm.

The perimeter (y) of the square is: 48 cm.
