Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
14/18 equals 7/9
Dividing by two on the first ratio makes:
7/9 equals 7/9
-2; 3-5= -2 or -5 - (-3)
-1; 4-5 or -5 - (-4) = -1
-5; -6 - (-1)= 1-6= -5
Answer:
Option C.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given information: In triangle ABC, ST║AC, SB=10 ft, BT=9 ft and CT=2.7 ft.
Triangle proportionality theorem: If a line segment parallel to a side of a triangle then the line segments divides the remaining sides proportionally.
Using triangle proportionality theorem we get
On cross multiplication we get
Divide both sides by 9.
The length of SA is 3ft.
Therefore, the correct option is C.
Answer:
(2, 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
The best way to do this to avoid tedious fractions is to use the addition method (sometimes called the elimination method). We will work to eliminate one of the variables. Since the y values are smaller, let's work to get rid of those. That means we have to have a positive and a negative of the same number so they cancel each other out. We have a 2y and a 3y. The LCM of those numbers is 6, so we will multiply the first equation by a 3 and the second one by a 2. BUT they have to cancel out, so one of those multipliers will have to be negative. I made the 2 negative. Multiplying in the 3 and the -2:
3(-9x + 2y = -16)--> -27x + 6y = -48
-2(19x + 3y = 41)--> -38x - 6y = -82
Now you can see that the 6y and the -6y cancel each other out, leaving us to do the addition of what's left:
-65x = -130 so
x = 2
Now we will go back to either one of the original equations and sub in a 2 for x to solve for y:
19(2) + 3y = 41 so
38 + 3y = 41 and
3y = 3. Therefore,
y = 1
The solution set then is (2, 1)
