Answer:

The ribbon is 28.4 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the box is 5m high, 6m long, and 8m wide,

we have a right angled triangle with hypotenuse = unknown, x, say

Opposite = 5m and 8m

Then, by Pythagoras theorem

x² = 5² + 8²

x² = 25 + 64

x² = 89

x = √89 ≈ 9.4m

The ribbon is now (5 + 6 + 8 + 9.4)m = 28.4m

Solve each system by elimination <br><br> 6x+3y=21<br> -12x+y=-7
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

(x,y)=(1,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

6x+3y=21/*2

-12x+y=-7

12x+6y=42 (1)

-12x+y=-7 (2)

(1)+(2): 7y=35

-12x+y=-7

y=35/7

-12x+y=-7

y=5

-12x+5=-7

y=5

-12x=-7-5

y=5

-12x=-12

y=5

x=-12/(-12

y=5

x=1

(x,y)=(1,5)
