Elimination_4x_2y=14 _10x+7y=_24

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

The answer is $x=-\frac{50}{8}$ and $y=\frac{11}{2}.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

-4x-2y=14

-10x+7y=-24

Now, to solve it by elimination:

$-4x-2y=14$ ......(1)

$-10x+7y=-24$ ......(2)

So, we multiply the equation (1) by 7 we get:

$-28x-14y=98$

And, we multiply the equation (2) by 2 we get:

$-20x+14y=-48$

Now, adding both the new equations:

$-28x-14y+(-20x+14y)=98+(-48)$

$-28x-14y-20x+14y=98-48$

$-28x-20x-14y+14y=50$

$-8x=50$

Dividing both the sides by -8 we get:

$x=-\frac{50}{8}$

Now, putting the value of $x$ in equation (1):

$-4x-2y=14$

$-4(-\frac{50}{8})-2y=14$

$\frac{200}{8} -2y=14$

$25-2y=14$

Subtracting both sides by 25 we get:

$-2y=-11$

Dividing both sides by -2 we get:

$y=\frac{11}{2}$

Therefore, the answer is $x=-\frac{50}{8}$ and $y=\frac{11}{2}.$

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

The lead statue is 87 inches tall

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the height of the lead statue

using proportion

we know that

The height of the lead statue divided by the length of his shadow must be equal to the height of the tourist divided by the length of his shadow.

$\frac{x}{43.5}=\frac{64}{32}\\\\\frac{x}{43.5}=2\\\\x=2(43.5)\\\\x=87\ in$

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

pi is 3.14...

pi - 1 is 2.14...

question becomes 1<2.14x and 2.14x < 10

1/2.14 < x, 0.46... < x

x < 10/2.14, x < 4.67...

combining

0.46< x < 4.67

x can be 1, 2, 3, 4
