therefore, CM + MQ = CQ
17 + MQ = 21
MQ = 21 - 17
MQ = 4 <===
Answer:
x = -5
y = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 7y = 27 --------------(I)
-3x + y = 21 -----------(II)
Add equation (I) & (II) and so x will be eliminated and we can find the value of y.
(I) 3x + 7y = 27
(II) <u> -3x + y = 21 </u> {add}
8y = 48
y = 48/8
y = 6
Plugin y = 6 in equation (I)
3x +7*6 = 27
3x + 42 = 27
3x = 27 - 42
3x = -15
x = -15/3
x = -5
Answer:
x ≈ 29.4 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The model is a right triangle.
Using the tangent ratio
tan40° = 
= 
( multiply both sides by 35 )
35 × tan40° = x , then
x ≈ 29.4 ft ( to 1 dec. place )
Step-by-step explanation:
x + y = 9. => 2x + 2y = 18.
2x + 2y = 18
- (2x - 3y = -12)
=> 5y = 30, y = 6.
Therefore x + (6) = 9, x = 3.
The solution is x = 3 and y = 6.
Answer:
42%
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step is to calculate the difference in the number of fishes from the beginning of the day to the end of the day.
90 -52
= 38 fishes
Therefore the percent decrease can be calculated as follows
= 38/90 × 100
= 0.422 × 100
= 42.2 %
= 42% ( to the nearest cent)
