1- Solve the systems of equations with the following methods: -2x-y=-6 4x+8y=-24 a-Solve the system by using substitution

b-Solve the system by using elimination

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4

tried on you are knowing that we can't leave the picture in the graph ok no problem now you need to send it in the question group

your answer is

a.

5
