Solve the system of equations using elimination. 4x - 7y = 5 9x – 7y = –15

Mathematics

Anni [7]4 years ago
8 0

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to get one positive 7y so,

4x-7y=5

9x-7y=-15

multiply anyone of the equation by -1. I choose the first one so,

4x+7y=-5

9x-7y=-15

we can now cancel the y's so the equation will be left with

-4x=-5

9x=-15

add the equations

5x=-20

divide by 5 n u get

x=-4

now plug in the x value in any one of the

equations

I choose the first one so,

4(-4)-7y=5

-16-7y=5

add 16 to both sides

-7y=21

divide by -7

y=-3.

finally check.

In isosceles $\triangle abc$ (with $ab = ac$), point $d$ lies on $ab$ such that $cd = cb$. if $\angle adc = 115^\circ$, what is
Nuetrik [128]

1. Angles ADC and CDB are supplementary, thus

m∠ADC+m∠CDB=180°.

Since m∠ADC=115°, you have that m∠CDB=180°-115°=65°.

2. Triangle BCD is isosceles triangle, because it has two congruent sides CB and CD. The base of this triangle is segment BD. Angles that are adjacent to the base of isosceles triangle are congruent, then

m∠CDB=m∠CBD=65°.

The sum of the measures of interior angles of triangle is 180°, therefore,

m∠CDB+m∠CBD+m∠BCD=180° and

m∠BCD=180°-65°-65°=50°.

3. Triangle ABC is isosceles, with base BC. Then

m∠ABC=m∠ACB.

From the previous you have that m∠ABC=65° (angle ABC is exactly angle CBD). So

m∠ACB=65°.

4. Angles BCD and DCA together form angle ACB. This gives you

m∠ACB=m∠ACD+m∠BCD,

m∠ACD=65°-50°=15°.

Answer: 15°.

grin007 [14]

Answer:

\frac{9}{16}

Step-by-step explanation:

Out of a total of 1,  \frac{15}{20}  went to the fair and  \frac{12}{16} OF THOSE, bought atleast one book.

To find the fraction of students who bought at least one book, we will multiply both the fractions. That is the answer. Shown below:

\frac{15}{20}*\frac{12}{16}\\=\frac{3}{4}*\frac{3}{4}\\=\frac{9}{16}

Answer is  \frac{9}{16}
