If y=6x+8 and y=-4x-2,what is the value of x+y when the two equations are equal?

x + y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

If the two equations are the same, then it can be shown by this:

6x + 8 = -4x - 2

We need to isolate the x values, so we need to move the -4x over to the other side making it a +4x:

6x + 4x + 8 = -2

Next, move the +8 over to the other side making it a -8:

6x + 4x = -2 - 8

10x = -10

x = -1

So now we can plug this value into the first equation:

6(-1) + 8 = y

-6 + 8 = y

y = 2

x + y = -1 + 2 = 1

So x + y = 1

answer: .75 km

step-by-step explanation:

14 ft 7 inches

step-by-step explanation:

since each model inch corresponds to 25 real inches, 7 model inches will correspond to

7×25" = 175"

at 12" per foot, that is 14 feet, 7 inches.
