Solve the following equation by elimination method
2x + y = 25
3x – 2y = 20​

First multiply the first equation by 2

2(2x + y = 25)

You'll have

4x + 2y = 50

Rewrite both equations

4x + 2y = 50

3x - 2y= 20

Add from the first equation you'll get

7x = 70... X = 10

Substitute x in one of the equations:

3(10) - 2y = 20

30 - 2y = 20

-2y = -10

y = 5

answer: standard form is ax^2 + bx + c = 0

step-by-step explanation:

standard form is ax^2 + bx + c = 0

(2x + 1)(x - 2) = 0

distribute to get into standard form

2x^2 - 4x + x - 2 = 0

2x^2 - 3x - 2 = 0

a = 2, b= -3, c = -2

a is your answer

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
