Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+4y = 17 _______ equation 1

-4x -7y= -18 _______ equation 2

muliply by 4 in equation 1

12x + 16y = 68 ______ equation 3

multiply by 3 in equation 2

-12x - 21y = -54 ________ equation 4

add equation 3 & 4

- 5y = 14

y = - 14/5

substitute y in equation 1

3x + 4 (-14/5) =17

3x = 17+ (56/5)

3x =( 85 + 56) / 5

3x = 141/5

x = 47/5

hence (a,b) = (47/5, -14/5)

The diagram shows a triangle on top of a rectangle. The combined area of the triangle and rectangle is 108 ft2

podryga [215]

Answer:

6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A=1/2bh. To find the area of the triangle, we subtract the area of the rectangle from the total. Which would be 108 - (12x6) = 36. Now we have the area. So, 36 = 1/2bh. "b", the base is 12. So we solve for h. h = (36x2)/12 or h = 36/6, which both equal 6.
