x = 3 + y Eqn(1)

y = -2x + 9​ Eqn(2)

Let us solve the system of equations with the substitution method

x - 3 = y (Subtracting 3 from both sides of the Eqn(1))

Replacing y = x - 3 in Eqn (2), we have:

x - 3 = -2x + 9

x = -2x + 9 + 3 (Adding 3 to both sides of the equation)

x + 2x = 9 + 3 (Adding 2x to both sides of the equation)

3x = 12 ( Adding like terms)

x = 12/3 (Dividing by 3 on both sides of the equation)

x = 4

Replacing x=4 in Eqn(1), we have:

4 = 3 + y

4 - 3 = y (Subtracting 3 from both sides of the equation)

y=1

The answers are:

x= 4 and y=1

Two triangles have altitudes of equal length. if the areas of these triangles have a ratio of 3:4 then the bases of the triangle
MatroZZZ [7]
Answer:
3/4
Area of the small triangle/Area of larger triangle=3/4

Area of the small triangle/Area of larger triangle=(1/2×base of small triangle×length)/(1/2×base of larger triangle×height)
3/4=(1/2×base of small triangle×height)/(1/2×base of larger triangle×height)
Since the length of the triangle are equal the base ratio of the two triangles is the same as area ratio.

Name the property. 6 + 0 = 6
Rashid [163]

Answer:

The Identity property of addition

Step-by-step explanation:

The identity property of addition states that any number plus zero equals the original number. So, since 0 is being added to 6, it must still be equal to 6. This property works for any number, which is why it works as a property.

This is not to be confused with the identity property of multiplication that states that any number times 1 equals the original number.
