Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
Because two times 5 equals ten
Y = 3 because in a rectangle, the diagonals are ALWAYS congruent. so you would have:
5y - 2 = 4y + 1
-4y+2 -4y + 2
y = 3
Answer:the height of the balloon is 670.244 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The right angle triangle BLD represents the scenario.
h represents the height of the balloon.
We would apply trigonometric ratio to determine h.
Tan # = opposite side/adjacent side
Looking at triangle LCD,
# = 61 degrees
h = opposite side
x = adjacent side
Tan 61 = h/x
1.7321 = h/x
h = 1.7321x
Looking at triangle LBD,
# = 54 degrees
h = opposite side
x + 100 = adjacent side
Tan 54 = h/x + 100
1.3764 = h/x + 100
h = 1.3764(x + 100)
Therefore,
1.7321x = 1.3764(x + 100)
1.7321x = 1.3764x + 137.64
137.64 = 1.7321x - 1.3764x
137.64 = 0.3557x
x = 137.64/0.3557 = 386.955
h = 1.7321x = 386.955 × 1.7321
h = 670.244 feet
The first thing you want to do is plug in x and y into both equations:
a(3) + b(4) = 4
b(3) + a(4) = 8
rearrange to line up a’s and b’s
3a + 4b = 4
4a + 3b = 8
now you want to choose a or b and multiply each equation by a number to make them have the same amount of a’s or b’s.
4(3a + 4b = 4) = 12a + 16b = 16
3(4a + 3b = 8) = 12a + 9b = 24
Now we subtract the bottom equation from the top and solve for b:
12a + 16b - (12a + 9b) = 16 - 24
7b = -8
b = -8/7
Now we plug back in for b to one of the original equations:
3a + 4(-8/7) = 4
3a + (-32/7) = 4
3a - (32/7) = 4
3a = 4 + (32/7)
3a = (28/7) + (32/7)
3a = 60/7
a = (60/7)/3 = 20/7.
Finally, plug a and b in together to double check using the second equation.
4a + 3b = 8
4(20/7) + 3(-8/7) = ?
(80/7) - (24/7) = ?
56/7 = 8.
Yes your right it equals 300 thousandths
