8x = 2y + 5 3x = y + 7

1 answer:

8 0

Hello there!

8x = 2y + 5
3x = y + 7
Use the substitution property
We need to solve 3x = y + 7 for y
3x = y + 7
3x - y = 7
-y = 7 - 3x
Divide both sides by -1
-y/-1 = -3x -7/-1
y = 3x - 7
Substitute 3x - 7 for y in 8x = 2y + 5
8x = 2y + 5
8x = 2(3x - 7) + 5
8x = 6x - 14 + 5
8x = 6x - 9
8x - 6x = -9
2x = -9
x= -9/2
To find y, we need to substitute -9/2 for x in y = 3x -7
y = 3x - 7
y = 3(-9/2) - 7
y = -41/2

The correct answer is option A (-9/2; -41/2)

Good luck with your studies!

The formula for a trapezoid relates the area A, the two bases, a and b, and the height, h. A=(a+b)/2 h Solve for a.

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

$a=\frac{2A}{h}-b$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, I think I can help you with this.

According to the information provided in the problem, the area of a trapezoid is given by

$A=\frac{a+b}{2} *h\\$

Step 1

solve for a, it means isolate a

$A=\frac{a+b}{2} *h\\divide\ both\ sides\ by\ h\\\\\frac{A}{h}= \frac{\frac{a+b}{2} *h}{h} \\\frac{A}{h}=\frac{a+b}{2}\\\\Now, multiply\ both\ sides\ by\ two\\\\ 2*\frac{A}{h}=2*\frac{a+b}{2}\\2*\frac{A}{h}=a+b\\\frac{2A}{h}=a+b\\\\subtract\ b\ for\ both\ sides\\\frac{2A}{h}-b=a+b-b\\a=\frac{2A}{h}-b$

Have a good day.

Find the area of the figure. Round to the nearest tenth

Reika [66]

Answer:

Find the area of each triangle and then add it up. As you are aware, to find the area of a triangle the equation is B times Height divided by 2. And to make it easier do the top left triangle and the top right triangle, add them together and then divide that by 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

3 time 5 equals 15 divided by 2 equals 7.5

5 times 8 equals 40 divided by 2 equals 20

7.5 plus 20 equals 27.5

27.5 times 2 equals 55

therefor your answer should be 55m
