-4x + y = 6
-5x - y = 21

add both of them
-9x = 27
x = -3

(-4*-3) + y = 6
-12 + y = 6
y = 18

Can someone please help me?
VikaD [51]

Answer:

The answer is 27

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason being, you can solve this 2 ways.

1) Combine like terms, 7a-4a = 3a.

Now just substitute (a=9) into 3a.

3 * (9) = 27.

2) Or just substitute a = 9 into the original expression.

7 * (9) - 4 * (9)

= 63 - 36 = 27

A ladder is placed 30 inches from a wall. It touches the wall at a height of 50 inches from the ground.
tankabanditka [31]
To find the length of the ladder, you need to do Pythagorean theorem.
50^2 + 30^2 = x^2
2500 + 900 = x^2
x^2 =3400
x= square root of 3400
58.31 OR 10 root34

To find the angle:
tan theta = opposite/adjacent
50/30 = 5/3
theta = tan inverse of 5/3
= 59.04
