Solve system by elimination -9x - y =-19
5x + y = 15

(1, 10 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

- 9x - y = - 19 → (1)

5x + y = 15 → (2)

Adding the 2 equations term by term will eliminate the y- term

- 4x + 0 = - 4

- 4x = - 4 ( divide both sides by - 4 )

x = 1

Substitute x = 1 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting into (2)

5(1) + y = 15

5 + y = 15 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

y = 10

solution is (1, 10 )

area of part 1:

a1=base*height/2=(8+2)*(8-2-2-1)/2=10*3/2=15 ft^2

area of part 2:

a2=length*width=(8+2)*1=10 ft2

area of part 3:

a3=length*width=8*2=16 ft2

total shaded area : a1+a2+a3=41 ft2

total area of the reactangle : a=16*8=128 ft2

total area of the nonshaded region : 128-41=87 ft2

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
