Answer:

C.

2.67 inches by 2.27 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios to solve

1 in        x inches

-------- = ---------

7.5 ft       20 ft

Using cross products

1*20 = 7.5x

Divide each side by 7.5

20/7.5 =7.5x/7.5

2.67 =x

We can do the same for the other dimension

1 in        x inches

-------- = ---------

7.5 ft       17 ft

Using cross products

1*17 = 7.5x

Divide each side by 7.5

17/7.5 =7.5x/7.5

2.27 =x

2.67 inches by 2.27 inches

Without drawing the graphs, find the points of intersection of the lines: a 7x+4y=23 and 8x–10y=19
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

(3,0.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system has equations:

7x + 4y = 23 \\ 8x - 10y = 19

Let us multiply the second equation by 4 and the first equation by 10.

70x + 40y = 230 \\ 32x - 40y = 76

We add both new equations to get:

102x = 306 \\ x =  \frac{306}{102}  = 3

Put x=3 into the first equation and solve for y.

7(3) + 4y = 23 \\ 21 + 4y = 23 \\ 4y = 23 - 21 \\ 4y = 2 \\  y =  \frac{1}{2}

The point of intersection is the solution to the system of equation which is (3,0.5)
