Let 2x – y = 3 ——— equation 1
Let x + 5y = 14 ——— equation 2
Making x the subject in eqn 1, = x = y + 3 / 2 ——— eqn 3
• Put eqn 3 in eqn 2
(y + 3 / 2) + 5y = 14
6y = 14 – 3/2
6y = 25/2
y = 25/12
• put y = 25/12 in eqn 3
x = (25/12 + 3/2)
x = 43/12
Answer:
(3,5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
There are two choices for angle Y:
for
,
for
.
Step-by-step explanation:
There are mistakes in the statement, correct form is now described:
<em>In triangle XYZ, measure of angle X = 49°, XY = 18 and YZ = 14. Find the measure of angle Y:</em>
The line segment XY is opposite to angle Z and the line segment YZ is opposite to angle X. We can determine the length of the line segment XZ by the Law of Cosine:
(1)
If we know that
,
and
, then we have the following second order polynomial:

(2)
By the Quadratic Formula we have the following result:

There are two possible triangles, we can determine the value of angle Y for each by the Law of Cosine again:



1) 
![Y = \cos^{-1}\left[\frac{18^{2}+14^{2}-15.193^{2}}{2\cdot (18)\cdot (14)} \right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Y%20%3D%20%5Ccos%5E%7B-1%7D%5Cleft%5B%5Cfrac%7B18%5E%7B2%7D%2B14%5E%7B2%7D-15.193%5E%7B2%7D%7D%7B2%5Ccdot%20%2818%29%5Ccdot%20%2814%29%7D%20%5Cright%5D)

2) 
![Y = \cos^{-1}\left[\frac{18^{2}+14^{2}-8.424^{2}}{2\cdot (18)\cdot (14)} \right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Y%20%3D%20%5Ccos%5E%7B-1%7D%5Cleft%5B%5Cfrac%7B18%5E%7B2%7D%2B14%5E%7B2%7D-8.424%5E%7B2%7D%7D%7B2%5Ccdot%20%2818%29%5Ccdot%20%2814%29%7D%20%5Cright%5D)

There are two choices for angle Y:
for
,
for
.
Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
First you want to add 8.8 to 7.2 and get 16 because you want to get x alone
Next divide divide 4x on both sides so 4x/4x cross out and left with just x. 16/4 =4
x=4
Hope this helps!
