What is the solution (x, y) to the system of equations given? 2 x + 4 y = − 16 2x+4y=−16 2 y − x = = 16 2y−x==16

(-12,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 4y = -16

2y - x = 16

Multiply the bottom part by 2.

2x + 4y = -16

4y - 2x = 32

Add the equations and the answers to the equations up, and they will equal each other.

(2x + 4y) + (4y - 2x) = -16 + 32

8y = 16

y = 2

Plug y = 2 to the 2nd equation.

2*2 - x = 16

4 - x = 16

Subtract 4 from both sides.

-x = 12

Multiply both sides by -1.

x = -12

answer:  

step-by-step explanation:

here x represents the height of the pole,

and, the height of the shadow of the pole is 12 feet.

also, the angle of elevation from the top of the pole is 40°,

therefore,

by the low of sine,

which is the required equation for finding the value of x,

the answer is mp
