Question

Where to Dig: You now know that the dinosaur's ribs and arms are at the solution to the system of equations below. Solve the system and find the fossil! Y = 0.5x + 3.5 y = –0.75x + 37.25

Answer 1

Answer:

${\huge{\pink{\underline{\underline{Solution}}}}}$

The dinosaurs ribs and arm are the solution of given equation..

For solving the equation we have,

y=0.5x + 3.5

y= –0.75x + 37.25

A/Q

$y=y\\=>0.5x + 3.5= –0.75x + 37.25\\=>0.5x+(-0.75x)=3.5+37.25\\=>1.25x=33.75\\=>x= \frac{33.75}{1.25} \\=>x=27$

Now,putting the value of x....find the value of y..

y=0.5x+3.5

=>y=0.5(27)+3.5

=>y=17

thus,x=27

y=17

So,no. of dinasaur ribs=x=27

No. of dinasaur arms=y=17

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 27 and y = 17 is the solution the the given pair of equations.

Number of dinosaur's rib = x = 27

Number of dinosaur's arm = y = 17
