Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

We are going to use the matching method, it consists in clear the same incognits in both equations and macth those results. Steps below:

<u>First equation: </u>

-2.4x-3.6y=1.2

-3.6y=1.2+2.4x

y=(1.2+2.4x)/(-3.6)    

<u>Second equation:</u>

2.4x+1.2y=1.2

1.2y=1.2-2.4x

y=(1.2-2.4x)/(1.2)

Now we have to match both equations and clear the incognit <em>x</em>

(1.2+2.4x)/(-3.6) = (1.2-2.4x)/(1.2)

(1.2+2.4x) = (1.2-2.4x) *(-3.6)/(1.2)

1.2+2.4x = (1.2-2.4x) *(-3)

1.2+2.4x = -3.6+7.2x

2.4x-7.2x = -3.6-1.2

-4.8x = -4.8

x = (-4.8)/(-4.8)

<em>x = 1</em>

Using the information given, calculate a grade to the nearest whole percent. The "rise" is 525 feet. If the scale on the map sho
melamori03 [73]
The grade on the west side would be the vertical rise divided by the horizontal run or 525 divided by 800' or rounded off to 66% (a steep grade as in an underground mine a grade of 25% is considered very steep for vehicles to go up or conveyors to travel). On the east side the 40% grade was obtained by dividing the 525' vertical height by the 1300' run.
