Answer:
The solution to the equation is as follows;
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
5x - 3y = 1
3x + 2y = 1
Solving both equation simultaneously;
2: 10x - 6y = 2
3: 9x + 6y = 3
--------------------------
19x + 0 = 5
x = 5/19
substitute the value of x in any of the equations above and solve for y;
5x - 3y = 1
5 (5/19) - 3y = 1
25/19 -3y = 1
Answer:
3.
equation =
Using:
or
or
7^2 + 12^2 = c^2
49 + 144 = c^2
c^2 = 193
missing length = 13.9 inches
4. equation =
Using:
or
24^2 + 32^2 = c^2
reduce to:
8 multiplied by everything:
3^2 + 4^2 = c^2
Since we know 3,4,5 is a Pythagorean triple, we can use this to find c.
Since c must be 5, we multiply by 8 since we divided by 8 earlier to get the 3,4,5 and get 40.
missing length = 40 inches
