Area of the triangle = 1/2 * base * <span>height
base = 16 in
</span>height = 16 in
Area = 1/2 * 16 * 16 = 128 in.
The statement 'of ' represents multiplication.
thus, baby = 1/40 * 120 = 3 tons.
1 ton is 2000 pounds.
Hence, 3 is 6000 pounds.
Answer: 1
y=1x-3
m=-3/-3=-1/-1=1
If you have multiple equations with multiple variables, you can either do clever substitutions, or turn it into a matrix on which you can perform linear combinations or multiplications (Gauss elimination)
1 1 1 1
2 1 -1 8
1 -1 1 -5
(note how the above 3 rows represent the 3 equations, just got rid of the variables, plus sign and equals sign)
subtract row1 from row3, that eliminates x and z from row 3.
1 1 1 1
2 1 -1 8
0 -2 0 -6
divide row3 by -2, that will give y a factor of 1
1 1 1 1
2 1 -1 8
0 1 0 3
The last row now says y=3
