A) x + y = 17
B) x - y = 27
Adding both equations:2x = 44
x = 22
y = -5
The two triangles we can see in the diagram are similar, which means that their measurements are proportional. Line MN on the larger triangle MNP is 71.5ft long, and its corresponding line, MA, on the smaller triangle is 71.5-22= 49.5ft long. This means that the scale factor from the bigger to the smaller triangle is 71.5/49.5=13/9.
If line MP on the bigger rectangle is 97.5ft long, then its corresponding line, MB, must be 97.5÷13/9=67.5 ft long.
Therefore, x=67.5 ft
Answer:
x=-6 y=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
// Solve equation [2] for the variable y
[2] y = -x - 7
// Plug this in for variable y in equation [1]
[1] 3x - 2•(-x -7) = -16
[1] 5x = -30
// Solve equation [1] for the variable x
[1] 5x = - 30
[1] x = - 6
// By now we know this much :
x = -6
y = -x-7
// Use the x value to solve for y
y = -(-6)-7 = -1
Solution :
{x,y} = {-6,-1}
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of triangle = 0.5 × Base × Height
→ Substitute in the values
200 = 0.5 × 5x × 5x
→ Simplify
200 = 12.5x²
→ Divide both sides by 12.5
16 = x²
→ Square root both sides
4 = x ∴ x = 4
