42 - 12x = 6
Solve for 6
12x = 36
x = 3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
5x=y+6 --------- equ 1
2x-3y=4 -------- equ 2
5x - 6 = y
y = 5x - 6
substitute in equ 2
2x-3(5x - 6) =4
2x - 3*5x + 3*6 = 4
2x - 15x + 18 = 4
- 13x = 4 - 18
-13x = -14
x = -14/-13
x = 14/13
substitute in equ 1
5*14/13 = y+6
70/13 - 6 = y
y = ( 70 - 78)/13
y = -8/13
Answer:
• x = 9
• y = 6√2
Step-by-step explanation:
The right triangles are all similar, so the ratios of hypotenuse to short side are the same:
27/x = x/3
x^2 = 81 . . . . . multiply by 3x
x = 9 . . . . . . . . take the square root
Then y can be found from the Pythagorean theorem:
x^2 = y^2 + 3^2
81 - 9 = y^2 = 72 . . . . . subtract 9
y = √72 = 6√2 . . . . . . .take the square root
The values of x and y are 9 and 6√2, respectively.
