Write and solve a system of linear​ equations: The larger of two numbers is 18 more than 5 times

Mathematics
1 answer:
Kryger [21]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

8 and - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the larger number and y the smaller , then

x = 5y + 18 → (1)

3x + 4y = 16 → (2)

substitute x = 5y + 18 into (2)

3(5y + 18) + 4y = 16 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side

15y + 54 + 4y = 16

19y + 54 = 16 ( subtract 54 from both sides )

19y = - 38 ( divide both sides by - 19 )

y = - 2

substitute y = - 2 into (1)

x = 5(- 2) + 18 = - 10 + 18 = 8

then larger number is 8 and smaller is - 2

Identify three ways that ocean plants cycle carbon
pav-90 [236]
Carbon dioxide from the atmosphere dissolves in the surface waters of the ocean. Some of the carbon dioxide stays as dissolved gas, but much of it gets turned into other things. Photosynthesis by tiny marine plants (phytoplankton) in the sunlit surface waters turns the carbon into organic matter.

A boat is on the same horizontal level as the foot of a cliff and the angle of depression of the boat 30 degree. If the boat is
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

69.282 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the trigonometry of right triangles to solve this, since we are in the presence of a right triangle with acute angle 30 degrees, opposite side unknown (the vertical height of the cliff), and adjacent side equal to 120 m.

we use the tangent function to solve for the unknown, as shown below:

tan(30) = x/120

x = 120 * tan(30) = 69.282 m
