Answer:
(x, y) = (- 2, 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
given the 2 equations
3y = 11 - 2x → (1)
3x = y - 11 → (2)
Rearrange (2) expressing y in terms of x
add 11 to both sides
y = 3x + 11 → (3)
Substitute y = 3x + 11 into (1)
3(3x + 11) = 11 - 2x
9x + 33 = 11 - 2x ( add 2x to both sides )
11x + 33 = 11 ( subtract 33 from both sides )
11x = - 22 ( divide both sides by 11 )
x = - 2
Substitute x = - 2 in (3) for corresponding value of y
y = (3 × - 2) + 11 = - 6 + 11 = 5
As a check
substitute x = - 2, y = 5 into (1) and (2) and if the left side equals the right side then these values are the solution.
(1) : left side = (3 × 5) = 15
right side = 11 - (2 × - 2) = 11 + 4 = 15 ⇒ left = right
(2) : left side = (3 × - 2 ) = - 6
right side = 5 - 11 = - 6 ⇒ left = right
solution = (- 2, 5 )
We can find the length of the ladder by squaring the known digits, adding them, and finding the square root of the sum. This would mean our first equation, after squaring, will look like this:
49+81=130
Now that we have <em>c</em> squared, we can go through and find the approximate square root, which is 11.4. That would mean the ladder is 11.4 meters long.
