Answer:

$\boxed{(3,-1)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

Well to find the solution the the given system,

3y - 2x = -9

y = -2x + 5

So to find x lets plug in -2x + 5 for y in 3y - 2x = -9.

3(-2x + 5) - 2x = -9

Distribute

-6x + 15 - 2x = -9

-8x + 15 = -9

-15 to both sides

-8x = -24

Divide -8 to both sides

x = 3

Now that we have x which is 3, we can plug in 3 for x in y = -2x + 5.

y = -2(3) + 5

y = -6 + 5

y = -1

So the solution is (3,-1).

Hope this helps :)

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

The correct option will be: (b) 7 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose, the length of the garden is $x$ feet.

As the shape of the garden is like a square, then the area of the garden will be: $(length)^2 = x^2$ feet²

Given that, the area is 52 square feet. So, the equation will be.......

$x^2= 52\\ \\ x=\sqrt{52} = 7.211.... \approx 7$

So, the approximate length of the garden will be 7 feet.

Archy [21]

Proportion can be used to find the height = 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

A billboard is 27 feet high and casts a 36-foot shadow at noon.

Height of billboard = 27 feet

Height of shadow of billboard = 36 feet

$\frac{\texttt{Height of billboard}}{\texttt{Height of shadow of billboard}}=\frac{27}{36}\\\\\frac{\texttt{Height of billboard}}{\texttt{Height of shadow of billboard}}=\frac{3}{4}=0.75$
