Answer:

<h2>The easiest to solve for is x in the first equation</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equation, x + 4 y = 14. and 3 x + 2 y = 12, to solve for x, we can use the elimination method of solving simultaneous equation. We need to get y first.

x + 4 y = 14............ 1 * 3

3 x + 2 y = 12 ............ 2  * 1

Lets eliminate x first. Multiply equation 1 by 3 and subtract from equation 2.

3x + 12 y = 42.

3 x + 2 y = 12

Taking the diffrence;

12-2y =42 - 12

10y = 30

y = 3

From equation 1, x = 14-4y

x = 14-4(3)

x = 14-12

x = 2

It can be seen that the easiest way to get the value of x is by using the first equation and we are able to do the substitute easily <u>because the variable x has no coefficient in equation 1 compare to equation 2 </u>as such it will be easier to make the substitute for x in the first equation.

There are two scarecrows in Mr. Martland's garden. The first scarecrow is 4.69 feet tall. The other scarecrow is 8.1 feet tall.
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

The difference between the two scarecrows' heights is 3.41 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the difference between the two scarecrows' heights, we have to subtract the height of the shorter one from the height of the taller one.

Hence, the difference between their heights would be (8.1 - 4.69) feet, which equals to 3.41 feet.

Hope this helped!

Help with finding proofs​
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Statement: ∠XYZ = ∠ABC     Reasons: Below

Step-by-step explanation:

For two angles to be complementary means that the sum of the two angles is equivalent to 90°. When an angle has one of those little squares, that means the angle is a right angle, or a 90° angle. Also, since it's given that line segment AB and line segment BC are perpendicular, this means the two lines/line segments cross each other at a right angle, which also proves that line segment AB and BC have a 90° angle.
