Solve using elimination and show your work:
-4x-2y=-12
4x+8y=-24

Let's solve your system by elimination.

−4x−2y=−12;4x+8y=−24

−4x−2y=−12

4x+8y=−24

Add these equations to eliminate x:

6y=−36

Then solve6y=−36for y:

6y=−36

6y

6

=

−36

6

(Divide both sides by 6)

y=−6

Now that we've found y let's plug it back in to solve for x.

Write down an original equation:

−4x−2y=−12

Substitute−6foryin−4x−2y=−12:

−4x−(2)(−6)=−12

−4x+12=−12(Simplify both sides of the equation)

−4x+12+−12=−12+−12(Add -12 to both sides)

−4x=−24

−4x

−4

=

−24

−4

(Divide both sides by -4)

x=6

x=6 and y=−6

so a parallelogram is just like a square base times height. multiply 40 and 39 to get 1560 inches.

a triangle is base times height divided by two. so multiply 7.9 and 5 and then divide it by 2 to get 19.75inches.

the kite can be split into two separate triangles and added together to get the total area. 30 x 4 /2 which equals 60. make sure to double it for the two triangles making 120.

x = 23.78
