1) Solving in terms of h
V = lwh <em>Divide both sides by h</em>
<em />
So rearranging that equation we can find h, in terms of V, and l and w.
If we want to solve in terms of l, or w, we'll proceed similarly to isolate the variable we want on the left side, and the other terms on the right side.
Answer:
(-4, 5)
Step-by-step explanation (work shown in attached picture):
1) Since x is already isolated in the first equation, substitute that value for x into the other equation to find y. So, substitute 16-4y for the x in 3x + 4y = 8, then solve for y. This gives us y = 5.
2) Now, substitute that given value for y back into any one of the equations to find x. I chose to do it in the first equation. Substitute 5 for the y in x = 16-4y, then solve for x this time. This gives us x = -4.
Since x = -4 and y = 5, the solution is (-4, 5).
