Using linear combination method, the solution to given system of equations are (-7, -15)
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>
Linear combination is the process of adding two algebraic equations so that one of the variables is eliminated
Addition is used when the two equations have terms that are exact opposites, and subtraction is used when the two equations have terms that are the same.
<u><em>Given system of equations are:</em></u>
2x - y = 1 ---- eqn 1
3x - y = -6 ------ eqn 2
Subtract eqn 2 from eqn 1
2x - y = 1
3x - y = -6
(-) -------------
-x = 7
<h3>x = -7</h3>
Substitute x = -7 in eqn 1
2(-7) - y = 1
-14 - y = 1
y = -14 - 1 = -15
<h3>y = -15</h3>
Thus the solution to given system of equations are (-7, -15)
Answer:
x = - 2, x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The denominator of the rational expression cannot be zero as this would make the expression undefined.
Equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the values that x cannot be.
Solve
- 3x² + 12x + 36 = 0 ( divide through by - 3 )
x² - 4x - 12 = 0 ← in standard form
(x - 6)(x + 2) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6
x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2
x = - 2 and x = 6 ← are the excluded values
Answer:
BC ≈ 4.0
Step-by-step explanation:
∠ DCA = 180° - 70° = 110° ( adjacent angles )
∠ DAC = 180° - (30 + 110)° ← sum of angles in triangle
∠ DAC = 180° - 140° = 40°
Using the Sine rule in Δ ACD to find common side AC
= 
( cross- multiply )
AC × sin40° = 15 × sin30° ( divide both sides by sin40° )
AC = 
≈ 11.668
Using the cosine ratio in right triangle ABC
cos70° = 
= 
= 
( multiply both sides by 11.668 )
11.668 × cos70° = BC , then
BC ≈ 4.0 ( to the nearest tenth )
