If you're looking for the solution to the system of equations, here's how we solve using substitution
We know that y = x - 1, so we can plug that into the first equation giving
2x - 3(x-1) = -1
Now distribute the 3 giving 2x - 3x + 3 = -1. After combining like terms we get -x + 3 = -1. Now subtract 3 from both sides, -x = -4, and multiply both sides by -1 to make x positive. x = 4
Now we can plug that into the second equation to get y
y = x - 1, and we know that x = 4, so y = 4 - 1, y = 3. The solution is (4, 3)

2x - 3y = -1
         y = x - 1

             2x - 3y = -1
     2x - 3(x - 1) = -1
2x - 3(x) + 3(1) = -1
       2x - 3x + 3 = -1
               -x + 3 = -1
                    - 3   - 3
                     -x = -4
                     -1    -1
                      x = 4

      y = x - 1
      y = 4 - 1
      y = 3
(x, y) = (4, 3)

Is the square root of -11.2 a rational number?
Schach [20]
No, it is an imaginary number.
Can't take the square root of a negative number without creating a method termed an imaginary number, which is the square root of -1 which they have used " i " to signify.
Then square root of -11.2 would be written Sqrt(11.2)i.  The Sqrt(11.2) = 3.3466
so the answer is 3.3466i

the sides of a triangular birdcage are consecutive intergers if tge perimeter is 114 cm what is tge length of each side
alexandr402 [8]
Let:
x = first consecutive integer (or first side of △)
x + 1 = second consecutive integer (or second side of △)
x + 2 = third consecutive integer (or third side of △)

The formula for a perimeter of △ is simply the addition of three sides (or length). Since the given perimeter is 114 cm,
x + x+1 + x+2 = 114
3x + 3 = 114
3x = 114 - 3
3x = 111
x = 111 /3 = 37 cm
The three sides are 37 cm, 38 cm, and 39 cm.
