Answer:
WX = 33
(x, y) = (2, 10)
Step-by-step explanation:
The hash marks tell you WX is a midline, so has the measure of the average of the two bases.
WX = (PQ +SR)/2 = (27 +39)/2 = 66/2
WX = 33
__
The hash marks also tell you ...
PW = WS
y +4x = 18 . . . . . . substitute the given expressions
and also
QX = XR
2y +x = 22 . . . . . substitute the given expressions
__
If you solve the first equation for y, you get ...
y = 18 -4x
Substituting that into the second equation gives ...
2(18-4x) +x = 22
36 -7x = 22 . . . . . . . simplify
14 = 7x . . . . . . . . . . . add 7x-22 to both sides
2 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 7
y = 18 -4(2) = 10 . . . find y using the above relation
The values of x and y are 2 and 10, respectively.
__
My favorite "quick and dirty" way to solve a set of linear equations is using a graphing calculator. It works well for integer solutions.
6 / 2 = 3
21 / 7 = 3
Yes, 2/7 and 6/21 are equivalent ratios. The second number is simply the first number tripled.
Given:
The height of a golf ball is represented by the equation:

To find:
The maximum height of of Anna's golf ball.
Solution:
We have,

Differentiate with respect to x.


For critical values,
.




Differentiate y' with respect to x.


Since double derivative is negative, the function is maximum at
.
Substitute
in the given equation to get the maximum height.




Therefore, the maximum height of of Anna's golf ball is 6.25 units.
Make each equation equal to each other, then solve for x.
-x+2=4x+7
-x-4x=7-2
-5x=5
X=-1
Sub x into one if the y formulas to find y
Y=4x+7
Y=4(-1)+7
Y=-4+7
Y=3
See my picture for how to graph the points.
Hope this helps!
