Y=2x+8 and y= -2/3x. Identify the value of x that simultaneously satisfies both equations.

1 answer:

5 0

Let's solve this by subst. (-2/3)x for y in y=2x+8.

Then 2x+8 = (-2/3)x. (For clarity you must use those parentheses.)

The LCD is 3. Mult. both sides by 3, obtaining

6x+24 = -2x. Then 8x = -24, and x = -3. Now that you have a value for x, subst. this value (-3) into either of the given equations to determine y.

Then write your solution in the form (-3, ?? ).

Answer:

55,637.8 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find side n using the Law of Sines:

n/sin(N) = p/sin(P)

n = p(sin(N)/sin(P)) = 600·sin(64°)/sin(96°)

n ≈ 542.246913 . . . . inches
