Solve the system using the substitution method 4x+6y=8 3x+y=9

1 answer:

4 0

4x+6y=8
3x+y=9

y = 9 - 3x

4x + 6( 9-3x ) = 8
4x + 54 - 18x = 8
14x = 46
x = 23/7

y = 9 - 3(23/7)
y = 9 - 69/7
y = - 6/7

In the diagram below, ST is parallel to PQ. If ST is 4 more than PS,SR = 12, and PQ = 15, find the length of PS. Figures are not

Tpy6a [65]

Since segments ST and PQ are parallel, triangles SRT and PRQ are similar due to the AAA postulate. In general, the ratio between the corresponding sides of two similar triangles is constant; therefore,

$\frac{SR}{PR}=\frac{RT}{RQ}=\frac{TS}{QP}$

Furthermore,

$PS=PR-RS$

Finding PR and RS,

$\begin{gathered} ST=4+PS \\ SR=12 \\ PQ=15 \end{gathered}$

Then,

$\frac{12}{PR}=\frac{TS}{15}$ $\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow\frac{12}{PR}=\frac{4+PS}{15} \\ \Rightarrow\frac{12}{PS+12}=\frac{4+PS}{15} \end{gathered}$

Solving for PS,

$\begin{gathered} 12\cdot15=(PS+12)(PS+4) \\ \Rightarrow180=PS^2+16PS+48 \end{gathered}$

Solve the quadratic equation in terms of PS, as shown below

$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow PS^2+16PS-132=0 \\ \Rightarrow PS=\frac{-16\pm\sqrt[]{16^2-4(-132)}}{2}=\frac{-16\pm28}{2} \\ \Rightarrow PS=-22,6 \end{gathered}$

And PS is a segment; therefore, it has to be positive.

Hence, the answer is PS=6
