<span>We can use the proportion. We already know that Dixon is 6 ft tall and that his shadow is 9 ft long. Also we know that the shadow of his sister is 6 ft long. 6 : x = 9 : 6, or 6 / x = 9 / 6. After that we will cross multiply : 9 * x = 6 * 6, 9 x = 36 , x = 36 : 9, x = 4. Answer: Ariadne is 4 feet tall.Hope I helped! :) Cheers!</span>

Answer: Choice A.  (8, 4)

==========================================================

Explanation:

Because x = 2y, we can replace every copy of x with 2y

Let's do so in the second equation

3x - 4y = 8

3(x) - 4y = 8

3(2y) - 4y = 8 .... x replaced with 2y; now let's isolate y

6y - 4y = 8

2y = 8

y = 8/2 ..... divide both sides by 2

y = 4

Use this y value to find x

x = 2y

x = 2*4

x = 8

So we have x = 8 and y = 4 pair together to get the answer (x,y) = (8, 4) which is choice A.

8. which function does not represent y as a function of x?​
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:  graph D

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

graph A) The equation is y = x

graph B) The equation is y = -x² + 2

graph C) The equation is x = y²

graph D) The equation is y = 2

Which equation does not have an "x" in it?  <em>D</em>

Therefore, the y-value is not dependent on an x-value.

2x - 3y = -5<br> 5x - 22 = -4y<br><br> Solve In Multiplication Method
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

(2, 3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x - 3y = - 5 → (1)

5x + 4y = 22 → (2) [ rearranged equation ]

Multiplying (1) by 4 and (2) by 3 and adding will eliminate the term in y

8x - 12y = - 20 → (3)

15x + 12y = 66 → (4)

Add (3) and (4) term by term to eliminate y, that is

23x = 46 ( divide both sides by 23 )

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 in either of the 2 equations and evaluate for y

Substituting into (2)

5)2) + 4y = 22

10 + 4y = 22 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

4y = 12 ( divide both sides by 4 )

y = 3

Solution is (2, 3 )

Please help. solve for x
malfutka [58]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Base of the triangle

2 \sqrt{6}

Hypotenuse of the triangle = 5

Height of the triangle = x

Therefore, According to Pythagoras Theorem,

{base}^{2}  +  {height}^{2}  =  {hypotenuse}^{2}

=  >  {(2 \sqrt{6)} }^{2}  +  {x}^{2}  =  {5}^{2}

=  > 24 +  {x}^{2}  = 25

=  >  {x}^{2}  = 25 - 24

=  >  {x}^{2}  = 1

=  > x =  \sqrt{1}

=  > x = 1

Hence, the required value of <u>x is 1.</u>

Can someone help me ?

Answer:

AC is four times longer than DF

Step-by-step explanation:

AC is the diameter of the circle E and DE is the radius of the circle E

AC = 2 x DE

DE is the diameter of the circle F and DF is the radius of the circle F

DE = 2 x  DF

AC = 2 x DE

AC = 2 x (2 x DF)

AC = 4 x DF

So AC is four times longer than DF
