Find the solution to the system. Write your solution as an ordered pair (x, y) with no spaces, no solution, or infinitely many. 2x+6y=56 and 4x+12y=24 *

No solution is your answer ( I do not know who you are supposed to type it out, but there are 0 solutions for this system).

Step-by-step explanation:

Key skills needed: Systems, Elimination, Recognizing Solutions

We are given:     2x + 6y = 56

                    and 4x + 12y = 24

To find x and y, we can use elimination. We can multiply the first one by -2 and both equations to eliminate x.

-2(2x+6y) = 56(-2) (Tip: Use distributive property

--> -2(2x)  = -4x

--> -2(6y) = -12y

--> 56(-2) = -112

This means that:    -4x - 12y = -112

Add this one to:   + 4x + 12y = 24

You will get -->       0 = -88

0 does not equal -88 so there is no solution for this!

Hope you understood and have a nice day!!

hi,

you half the rectangle that you ae asking about so then you would see the scale factor of 1/2 the one u have selected, the one on top is half.

hope this !
