Solve by substitution. We begin by manipulating the second equation (solving for y).

2x+3y=13

4x-y=-2 => -y=-4x-2 => y=4x+2

Now substitute "4x+2" for y into the first equation because y=4x+2.

2x+3y=13 becomes 2x+3(4x+2)=13

Now solve for x.

2x+3(4x+2)=13

2x+12x+6=13

14x=7

x=1/2

Now we can solve for y because we know what x is.

y=4x+2 => y=4(1/2)+2 = y=4

answer: x=1/2, y=4, intersection point (1/2,4)

Now given a rope hanging from the top of a pole. The end lying on the ground is 3 chi long. When tightly stretchedit is 8 chi fr

drek231 [11]

Answer:

Height of the pole = 9.17 chi.

Length of the rope = 12.17 chi.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the rope is hanging from the top of a pole having height x chi and the portion of the rope lying on the ground is 3 chi.

So, the length of the rope= x + 3 chi.

Let AB represents the pole in the figure, and one end of the rope is at point A.

When the rope is tightly stretched, let C be the other end of the rope as shown in the triangle.

The length of the rope = AC.

\Rightarrow AC=x+3 chi.

Distance from the bottom of the pole, point A, to the other end of the pole, point B, is 8 chi.

So, BC=8 chi.

As the triangle ABC is a right-angled triangle, so by using Pythagoras theorem,

$AC^2= AB^2+BC^2$

$\Rightarrow (x+3)^2=x^2+8^2$

$\Rightarrow x^2+6x+9=x^2+64$

$\Rightarrow 6x=64-9=55$

$\Rightarrow x=55/6=9.17$ chi.

Hence, the height of the pole, $AB=x=9.17$ chi,

and the length of the rope, $x+3=9.17+3=12.17$ chi.
