Pythagorean theorem
for a right triangle with legs legnth a and b and hytponuse c
a^2+b^2=c^2

the legnht of th eladder is the hypotnuse
the 3 feet is bottom leg
height is other leg

10=c
3=a
b=?
3^2+b^2=10^2
9+b^2=100
minus 9 both sides
b^2=91
sqrt both sides
b=√91
aprox
b=9.53939


answer is √91 feet or aprox 9.53939

−4x+7y+5=0<br> x−3y=−5<br> ​ <br><br> How many solutions does the system have?
xeze [42]

   

Solution:  

Using Substitution Method:

-4x+7y=-5   (Equation 1)

x-3y=-5       (Equation 2)

get the value of x from Equation 2

x=3y-5     (Equation 3)  

Put the value of x from Equation 3 in Equation 1

-4(3y-5)+7y=-5

-4(3y)+20+7y=-5

-12y+7y=-5-20

-5y=-25

Negative sign on both sides cancels each other

y=25/5

y=5

Putting value of y in equation 3

x=3(5)-5

x=15-5

x=10

Therefore,   [x,y]=[10,5]

Using Elimination Method

-4x+7y=-5   (Equation 1)

x-3y=-5       (Equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 with -4 in order to eliminate the x term

-4(x-3y)=-5*4

-4x+12y=20     (Equation 3)

Adding Equation 1 and 3

-4x+7y=-5    

-4x+12y=20    

+    -     = -   (Change Of Sign with x and y terms)

-----------------

0x-5y = -25

-5y=-25

y=5  

Substituting y’s value is Equation 1

-4x+7(5)=-5

-4x+35=-5

-4x=-40

Cancellation of negative sign on both sides

x=40/4

x=10

[x,y]=[10,5]
