Use elimination (adding or subtracting) to find the common solution

Mathematics
1 answer:
Leokris [45]4 years ago

A) The solution (x,y) is (9,-2).

B) The solution (x,y) is (6, -1/2).

C) The solution (x,y) is (-5,2).

D) The solution (x,y) is (1, -10).

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

A) x+y=7 and x+2y=5

Subtract the second equation from the first equation.

 x+y = 7

-(<u>x+2y = 5</u>)

 <u>   -y  = 2</u>

⇒ y = -2

The value of y is -2.

Substitute y= -2 in any of the equation.

⇒ x + (-2) = 7

⇒ x = 7+2

⇒ x = 9

The value of x is 9.

The solution (x,y) is (9,-2).

B) x+2y=5 and x-2y=7

Add both the equations.

x + 2y = 5

<u>x - 2y = 7 </u>

<u> 2x     = 12</u>

⇒ x = 12/2

⇒ x = 6

The value of x is 6.

Substitute x= 6 in any of the equations.

⇒ 6 + 2y = 5

⇒ 2y = 5-6

⇒ 2y = -1

⇒ y = -1/2

The value of y is -1/2.

The solution (x,y) is (6, -1/2).

C) x+4y=3 and -x+y=7

Add both the equations.

x + 4y = 3

<u>-x + y = 7 </u>

<u>    5y = 10</u>

⇒ y = 10/5

⇒ y = 2

The value of y is 2.

Substitute y=2 in any of the equations.

⇒ -x + 2 = 7

⇒ -x = 7-2

⇒ -x = 5

⇒ x = -5

The value of x is -5.

The solution (x,y) is (-5,2).

D) 5x-2y=25 and 4x-2y=24

Subtract the second equation from the first equation.

  5x - 2y = 25

- (<u>4x - 2y = 24</u>)

   <u>  x        = 1  </u>

The value of x is 1.

Substitute x=1 in any of the equations.

⇒ 5(1) - 2y = 25

⇒ 5 -2y = 25

⇒ -2y = 25-5

⇒ -2y = 20

⇒ y = -20/2

⇒ y = -10.

The value of y is -10.

The solution (x,y) is (1, -10).

b = 2.77 m
A = 43.0°
C = 111.1°

cosine law to find b

b^2 = a^2 + c^2 -2ac \cos B \\ \\&#10;b = \sqrt{a^2 + c^2 -2ac \cos B} \\ \\&#10;b = \sqrt{4.33^2 + 5.92^2 - 2(4.33)(5.92) \cos 25.9} \\&#10;b = 2.7708\ m

b = 2.7708\ m

Find angle A with sine law

\displaystyle&#10;\frac{\sin A}{a} = \frac{\sin B}{b} \\ \\&#10;\sin A = \frac{a \sin B}{b} \\ \\&#10;A = \sin^{-1} \left[ \frac{a \sin B}{b}  \right] \\ \\&#10;A = \sin^{-1} \left[ \frac{4.33 \sin 25.9}{2.7708}  \right]  \\ \\&#10;A = 43.0467020

Find C with angles in triangle sum to 180

A + B + C = 180
C = 180 - A - B
C = 180 - 43.0467020 - 25.9
C = 111.1

Answer:

The y-coordinate of F is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the large triangle = 1/2 * base * height.

From the given coordinates:

The base of the large triangle =  x coordinate of C - x coordinate of A

= 11 - 3 = 8 units.

It's height = y coordinate of A = 12, so

Area of large triangle = 1/2 * 8 * 12 = 48 unit^2.

Using a similar calculation for the small triangle:

Base = 10 - 6 = 4 and height = k units.

So it's area = 1/2 * 4 * k = 2k unit^2.

So from given area of the shaded part:

48 - 2k = 32

-2k = -16

k = 8.
