Solve the system using elimination.5x-9y=12x-9y=-12

Mathematics

NemiM [27]1 year ago

Answer:

x = 6

y = 2

Explanation:

To solve the system using elimination, we need to multiply the second equation by -1, so the second equation is equivalent to:

x - 9y = -12

-1 (x - 9y) = -1 (-12)

-x + 9y = 12

Then, we can sum this equation and the first equation. So:

5x - 9y = 12

-x + 9y = 12

4x + 0 = 24

So, we can solve for x, as:

4x = 24

4x/4 = 24/4

x = 6

Then, we can replace x by 6 on the first equation and solve for y, so:

5x - 9y = 12

5(6) - 9y = 12

30 - 9y = 12

30 - 9y - 30 = 12 - 30

-9y = -18

-9y/(-9) = -18/(-9)

y = 2

Therefore, the solution of the system is x = 6 and y = 2

If 60% of a KNOWN NUMBER is 180, what is the 40% of that UNKNOWN NUMBER?
Lana71 [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

I think you mean you want to find out 40% of a number,, when 60% of it is 180, so I'll answer that:

60% = 180

÷6

10% = 30

x4

40% = 120

(if you want to find 100%, multiply 30 by 10)

Hopefully this helps :)

Find the exact area of an equilateral triangle if the length of one side is 40
VARVARA [1.3K]
Equilateral triangle is a triangle with the 3 sides of the same length, and the 3 angles with the same measures/degree.
The formula to find the area of a triangle is base x height/2 , you do have the base (40), but you need the height. To find the height of an equilateral triangle you use the formula: side/2 x radical3, this way u'll find the height and therefor can calculate the area of the triangle.
Hope that helped :)
