All you have to do is substitute one linear equation into the other one.
So, essentially you will have 2 linear equations side by side each other.
8/5x - 1 = -4/3x - 1
-1 = -4/3x - 8/5x - 1
The solution eventually equals 0.
A = 1/2 bh can be written as
A = bh/2.
2A = (bh/2)(2)
2A = bh
Divide both sides by h to find b.
2A/h = b
Done.
Answer:
58 and 42.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the 2 numbers be x and 100-x.
Also let x be the largest number, so
x ≥ 100 - x + 16 ( 'At least 16' means equal to 16 or greater than 16).
Add in x to both sides:
x + x ≥ 100 + 16
2x ≥ 116
x ≥ 58.
But since the sum of the 2 numbers is 100, x must be 58 and the other number is 42.
