Solve for y for both equations then equate and solve:

5x + 9y = 160
9y = 160 - 5x
y = 160/9 - 5/9x

9x + 8y = 202
8y = 202 - 9x
y = 202/8 - 9/8x

160/9 - 5/9x = 202/8 - 9/8x (common denominator is 72)

1280/72 - 40/72x = 1818/72 - 81/72x
1818/72 - 1280/72 = 81/72x - 40/72x
538/72 = 41/72x
538 = 41x
538/41 = x
x = 13 5/41

The volume of the pyramid shown in the figure is cubic centimeters. If the slant height of the pyramid increases by 4 centimeter

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Part a) The volume of the original pyramid is $15\ cm^{3}$

Part b) The volume of the pyramid increases by $6\ cm^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

Part 1) The volume of the pyramid shown in the figure is 9,15,21, or 63 cubic centimeters?. Part 2) If the slant height of the pyramid increases by 4 centimeters and its height increases by 2 centimeters, the volume of the pyramid increases by 6,9,12 or 21 cubic centimeters?

we know that

The volume of the pyramid is equal to

$V=\frac{1}{3}Bh$
