Type the correct answer in each box. use numerals instead of words. if necessary, use / for the fraction bar(s). solve the given system of equations.

(-1/2, 3/4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use the elimination by adding or subtracting method.  Note that we have 8y in the first equation, and that we could obtain -8y in the second equation by multiplying the second equation by 2:

2(24x - 4y = -15) => 48x - 8y = -30

Now combine this result (this equation) with the first equation:

  2x + 8y = 5

+48x   -8y = -30

 50x    =     - 25

Dividing both sides by 50, to isolate x, we get

x = -25/50 = -1/2.

Now substitute -1/2 for x in the first equation and solve the resulting equation for y:

  2x + 8y = 5

2(-1/2) + 8y = 5, or -1 + 8y = 5, or 8y = 6 (after having added 1 to both sides)

Dividing both sides of 8y = 6 by 8 leads to determining the value of y:

y = 6/8 = 3/4

The solution is (-1/2, 3/4).

trapezoid

step-by-step explanation:

first i plotted all my points on a grid graph

i made sure all of them were in the correct quadrant

then i saw it was a trapezoid or a quadrilateral
