Answer:

x = 4 , y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{2 x - 3 y = -1 | (equation 1)

y = x - 1 | (equation 2)

Express the system in standard form:

{2 x - 3 y = -1 | (equation 1)

-x + y = -1 | (equation 2)

Add 1/2 × (equation 1) to equation 2:

{2 x - 3 y = -1 | (equation 1)

0 x - y/2 = (-3)/2 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by -2:

{2 x - 3 y = -1 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 3 | (equation 2)

Add 3 × (equation 2) to equation 1:

{2 x+0 y = 8 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 3 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by 2:

{x+0 y = 4 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 3 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer: {x = 4 , y = 3

Solve the simultaneous equation <br> 2x-5y=9<br> 3x+4y=2

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

2x-5y=9

Add 5y to both sides of the equation.

2x=9+5y

Divide each term by 2 and simplify.

Divide each term in 2x=9+5y by 2

$\frac{2x}{2} =\frac{9}{2} +\frac{5y}{2}$

Cancel the common factor of 2.

Divide x by 1.

$x=\frac{9}{2} +\frac{5y}{2}$

$y=\frac{-9}{5} +\frac{2x}{5}$

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3x+4y=2

Add 4y to both sides of the equation

3x=2+4y

Divide each term by 3 and simplify.

Divide each term in 3x=2+4y by 3.

$\frac{3x}{3} =\frac{2}{3} +\frac{4y}{3}$

Cancel the common factor of 3.

Divide x by 1.

$x=\frac{2}{3} +\frac{4y}{3}$

$y=\frac{-1}{2} +\frac{3x}{4}$

The area of a trapezium is 35cm2.find its altitude if the bases is 6cm and 8cm

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer: altitude: 5 cm

Explanation:

$\sf \dfrac{1}{2} ( a + b) h = Area \ of \ trapezium$

[ <u>a and b are bases, h is the altitude</u> ]

Here given:

Area = 35

a = 6

b = 8

h = ?

Solve for altitude:

$\sf \rightarrow \sf \dfrac{1}{2} ( 6 + 8) h = 35 \ \ \ \Rightarrow \ \ \ \dfrac{1}{2} ( 14) h = 35 \ \ \ \ \Rightarrow \ \ \ \ 7 h = 35 \ \ \ \ \Rightarrow \ \ h = \dfrac{35}{7} \ = \ 5$
