Answer please i will give brainliest

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

simply add both equations

x + y = 2

-3x - y = 5

-2x + 0 = 7

x = -7/2

x + y = 2

-7/2 + y = 2

y = 2 + 7/2 = 4/2 + 7/2 = 11/2

b.

1/2 x + 2y = -13

x - 4y = 8

first multiply the first equating by 2

x + 4y = -26

x - 4y = 8

2x + 0 = -18

x = -18/2 = -9

x - 4y = 8

-9 - 4y = 8

-4y = 17

y = -17/4

answer: 26

step-by-step explanation:

well, michelle wanted to measure the height of her school's flagpole she placed a mirror on the ground 48 feet from the flagpole then walk backwards until she was able to see the top of the pole in the mirror her eyes were 5 feet above the ground and she was 12 ft from the mirror using similar triangles find the height of the flagpole to the nearest tenth of a foot find the geometric mean of them pair of numbers. its easy math
