How can I solve this linear equation x+y=7 3x+y=15​

Answer:

  (x, y) = (4, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step in solving any math problem is to read and understand what is given and what is asked.

<h3>Given</h3>

Two linear equations are given, each in standard form. The coefficients of y are the same in the two equations, and both coefficients are 1 in the first equation.

  • x +y = 7
  • 3x +y = 15

<h3>Find</h3>

You are asked to "solve" this system of equations. That means you want an (x, y) ordered pair that will satisfy both equations. On a graph, these are the coordinates of the point where the lines cross.

<h3>Solution</h3>

There are many ways to solve a system of linear equations. In this case, the y-coefficients being the same suggests that "elimination" or "linear combination" would be a good choice of solution method.

We note that the coefficients in the second equation are generally larger than those in the first equation. Subtracting the first equation from the second equation will generally leave positive coefficients, making the arithmetic less error-prone.

  (3x +y) -(x +y) = (15) -(7) . . . . . . subtract the first equation from the second

  2x = 8 . . . . . . simplify

  x = 4 . . . . . . divide by 2

Using this value in the first equation, we can find y:

  4 +y = 7

  y = 3 . . . . . . subtract 4

The solution to this pair of equations is (x, y) = (4, 3).

<em>Additional comment</em>

A graphical solution is attached.

Either equation can be solved for y, and that expression substituted into the other. Solving the first equation for y gives ...

  y = 7 -x

Substituting that into the second equation, we have ...

  3x +(7 -x) = 15

  2x = 8 . . . . . . . subtract 7

  x = 4 . . . . . . divide by 2

  y = 7-4 = 3

(x, y) = (4, 3) is the solution.

We have shown 3 methods of solving the given system of equations. There are other methods that can be used, too, including matrix methods and methods that make use of arrays of the coefficients.

The speed that a tsunami can travel is modeled by the equation s = 356 startroot d endroot , where s is the speed in kilometers
Naddika [18.5K]

The approximate depth of water for a tsunami traveling at 200 kilometers per hour is 0.32 km.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

Speed can be calculated as the ratio of distance traveled to the time taken.

The speed that a tsunami can travel is modeled by the equation

s = 356√d, where s is the speed in kilometers per hour and d is the average depth of the water in kilometers.

S = 356√d

200 = 356√d

√d = 200/356

= 0.5618

d = 0.5618^2

= 0.316 km

d = 0.32 km.

Thus, The approximate depth of water for a tsunami traveling at 200 kilometers per hour is 0.32 km.

Sav [38]

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

start by setting angle a equal to angle b

next add 21 to the opposite side

then subtract 2x from the opposite side

finally you're left with x=8

Find the composition of
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

[(x + 6), (y + 1)]

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertices of the quadrilateral ABCD are,

A → (-5, 2)

B → (-3, 4)

C → (-2, 4)

D → (-1, 2)

By reflecting the given quadrilateral ABCD across x-axis to form the image quadrilateral A'B'C'D',

Rule for the reflection of a point across x-axis is,

(x, y) → (x , -y)

Coordinates of the image point A' will be,

A(-5, 2) → A'(-5, -2)

From the picture attached, point E is obtained by translation of point A'.

Rule for the translation of a point by h units right and k units up,

A'(x+h, y+k) → E(x', y')

By this rule,

A'(-5 + h, -2 + k) → E(1, -1)

By comparing coordinates of A' and E,

-5 + h = 1

h = 6

-2 + k = -1

k = 1

That means

Rule for the translation will be,

[(x + 6), (y + 1)]

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

The confidence level is 95% or 0.95.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Results of a poll stated that 40% of U.S.

If you want to test the claim at alpha = 0.05.

As we know:

Confidence level = 1 - significance level (\alpha)

Confidence level = 1 - 0.05

Confidence level  = 0.95

Therefore, the confidence level is 95% or 0.95.
