<span>1) 3x+y=-1 5x-y=9
First of all we have add both equation but to be sure that the value we want to eliminate are both in a way that would make it possible t be deleted.
  3x+y=-1
  5x-y= 9
8x = 8
x= 1
</span>In this case we are able to eliminate y becuase if we add +y-y we get that our answer is 0. and 3x + 5x would be 8x and -1+9 would be equal to 8 and to find x we needed to divided giving us that the answer for x is 1 becuase 8/8 is 1.<span>
Then to find y we substitude the value of x in any of the formulas.
3(1)+y= -1
3+y= -1
y= -1-3
y=-4
When we have our y value we can determine if it is correct by replace the values.
5(1)--4= 9
5+4= 9
9=9
Up until now we are fine. So we do the same with the other equation.
3(1)+-4=-1
3+-4=-1
-1=-1
So by this we can now detemine that.
x= 1
y= -4

2) 4x+6y=24 4x-y=10
4x+ 6y =24
4x-y=10 (*-1)
4x+6y=24
-4x+y=-10
7y= 14
y= 14/7
y= 2
</span>In this case we are not able to delete any of the variables so we multiplied by -1 to be able to eliminate x. <span>
Then to find x we substitute the value of y in any of the formulas.</span><span><span>
</span>4x-2=10<span>
4x= 10+2
x= 12/4
  x= 3
So we now know our variables so we substituted them to see if they are correct.
  4(3)+6(2)=24
12+12=24
24=24
We do the same with the other equation.
  4(3)-2=10
12-2 =10
   10= 10
So we can assume that.
x= 3
y= 2

3)2x-y=-3 x+3y=16
(3*)2x- y= -3
x+ 3y = 16
6x -3y = -9
x+3y =16
7x= 7
x= 1
</span></span>In this case we are not able to delete any of the variables so we multiplied by 3 to be able to eliminate y. <span>
Then to find y we substitute the value of x in any of the formulas.</span>
<span> 1+ 3y = 16
3y= 16-1
y= 15/3
y= 5
So we now know our variables so we substituted them to see if they are correct.
2(1)- 5 =-3
2-5= -3
-3= -3
We do the same with the other equation.
1+3(5)= 16
1+15=16
16=16
So we now are sure that
x= 1
y= 5

4) 2x+3y=7 3x+4y=10
2x+3y =7 ( * - 4)
3x+4y =10 ( * 3)
-8x -12y = -28
9x +12y = 30
x= 2
In this case we are not able to delete any of the variables so we multiplied one of teh quations by - 4 to be able to subtract in our sum and the other by 3 to have the same number on y to be able to eliminate y. <span>
Then to find y we substitute the value of x in any of the formulas.</span>
2(2)+3y= 7
4+3y=7
3y= 7-4
y= 3/3
y= 1
So we now know our variables so we substituted them to see if they are correct.
3(2)+4(1)= 10
6+4=10
10=10
We do the same for the other
2(2)+3(1)=7
4+3= 7
7=7
So with that we can say that.
x= 2
y= 1</span>

ycow [4]

Answer:

The class width is 20

Step-by-step explanation:

In a frequency or a relative frequency distribution the class width is calculated as the difference between the lower or upper class limits of consecutive classes. A point to note is that all the categories or classes usually have the same class width.

We use the first two classes to calculate the class width by using their respective upper limits;

Class width = 89 - 69

Class width = 20

A black tailed Jackrabbit hops about 7 feet in a single hop how far can it hop in 5 seconds

Sever21 [200]

If it hops 7 feet a second then it would hop 35 times in 5 seconds. 5 x 7 = 35.

Happy studying ^-^

(Geometry course question) Explain why it is not possible to construct an equilateral triangle that has

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

√3 is irrational

Step-by-step explanation:

The location of the third point of a triangle can be found using a rotation matrix to transform the coordinates of the given points.

<h3 /><h3>Location of point C</h3>

With reference to the attached figure, the slope of line AC is √3, an irrational number. This means the line AC <em>never passes through a point with integer coordinates</em>. (Any point with integer coordinates would be on a line with rational slope.)

<h3>Equilateral triangle</h3>

The line segments making up an equilateral triangle are separated by an angle of 60°. If two vertices are on grid squares, the third must be a rotation of one of them about the other through an angle of 60°. The rotation matrix is irrational, so the rotated point must have irrational coordinates.

The math of it is this. For rotation of (x, y) counterclockwise 60° about the origin, the transformation matrix is ...

$\left[\begin{array}{cc}\cos(60^\circ)&\sin(60^\circ)\\-\sin(60^\circ)&\cos(60^\circ)\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{c}x'\\y'\end{array}\right]$

Cos(60°) is rational, but sin(60°) is not. For any non-zero rational values of x and y, the sum ...

cos(60°)·x + sin(60°)·y

will be irrational.

As in the attached diagram, if one of the coordinates of the rotated point (B) is zero, then one of the coordinates of its image (C) will be rational. The other image point coordinate cannot be rational.
