I have been stuck on the problem for so long. please help me: What is the value of y in the solution set of the system of linear equations shown below?
y= -x + 12
4x - 2y = 36

A- 10
B- 8
C- 6
D- 2

D-2

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use elimination to get the value of y. Move numbers to one side and x and ys to the other side. To use elimination, multiply the first equation with 2. You will get 2x+2y=24. add it with the equation below. y will be eliminated and you will get the value of x. X=10. Plug in x and get the y value. Y=2

6mm^3 or .6cm^3

  36     6

factor trees are nice.

(b) 240

step-by-step explanation:

first, we use the pythagorean formula using the given side lengths to find x. then we use x to find the side lengths. then we add the side lengths to find the perimeter.

pythagorean theorem formula:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(x - 20)^2 + (x - 40)^2 = x^2

x^2 - 40x + 400 + x^2 - 80x + 1600 = x^2

x^2 -120x + 2000 = 0

(x - 100)(x - 20) = 0

x - 100 = 0 or x - 20 = 0

x = 100 or x = 20

we see that the solution x = 20 must be discarded because it will give a negative side length and a side length of 0. the only valid solution is x = 100.

perimeter = sum of the lengths of the sides

perimeter = x + x - 20 + x - 40

perimeter = 3x - 60

replace x with 100.

perimeter = 3(100) - 60

perimeter = 300 - 60

perimeter = 240
