Answer:
17m
Step-by-step explanation:
Add up 4m and 4.5m. 8.5
Multiply that number by 2. 17
9x - y = 15
2x + 8y = 28
Use the substitution method.
Solve for y in the first equation.
9x - y = 15
-y = 15 - 9x
y = -15 + 9x
Now plug in y into the second equation.
2x + 8(-15 + 9x) = 28
2x - 120 + 72x = 28
74x - 120 = 28
74x = 148
x = 2
Plug x back into the rewritten first equation.
y = -15 + 9(2)
y = -15 + 18
y = 3
x = 2, y = 3
Hi!
When a number has lines on the outside of it like that, it means that it's the distance from 0. It's known as the absolute value.
|−8.6|'s distance from 0 is 8.6.
The answer is d 8.6
Hope this helps! :)
