Option A. зу + 12 is the right answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The substitution method consists of finding the value of a variable from one equation and then putting it into another equation to find the value of other variable.

Given equations are:

2x+y=8\\-x-3y=-12

We have to isolate x in the 2nd equation

-x-3y=-12

Multiplying equation by -1

x+3y=12

Subtracting 3y from both sides

x+3y-3y=12+3y\\x=12+3y

Hence,

Option A. зу + 12 is the right answer

A tree casts a shadow 24 feet long. a 5 foot person casts a 8 foot shadow.How tall is the tree?
ra1l [238]
(length of tree's shadow)/(height of tree) = (length of person's shadow)/(person's height)

24/x = 8/5

24*5 = x*8

120 = 8x

8x = 120

8x/8 = 120/8

x = 15

The tree is 15 feet tall

The height of a trapezoid is 6 in. and it’s area is 72 in to the 2nd power. One base of the trapezoid is 6 inches longer than th
Vitek1552 [10]

Given:

The height of the given trapezoid = 6 in

The area of the trapezoid = 72 in²

Also given, one base of the trapezoid is 6 inches longer than the other base

To find the lengths of the bases.

Formula

The area of the trapezoid is

A=\frac{1}{2} (b_{1} +b_{2} )h

where, h be the height of the trapezoid

b_{1} be the shorter base

b_{2} be the longer base

As per the given problem,

b_{2}=b_{1}  +6

Now,

Putting, A=72, b_{2}=b_{1}+6 and h=6 we get,

\frac{1}{2} (b_{1} +b_{1}+6)(6) = 72

or, b_{1}+b_{1}+6 = \frac{(72)(2)}{6}

or, 2b_{1}+6 = 24

or, 2b_{1}=24-6

or, b_{1}= \frac{18}{2}

or, b_{1}=9

So,

The shorter base is 9 in and the other base is = (6+9) = 15 in

Hence,

One base is 9 inches for one of the bases and 15 inches for the other base.

san4es73 [151]
It's not always easy to type in mathematical symbols, but you may need to try again here.  It is unlikely that your problem actually states
       2
Log    x.   Perhaps you meant     Log    x.
                                                           2

Double-check to ensure that you have entered this problem correctly.  Also, please include the instructions for this problem.  Explain what that "3 3" means.
