The coefficients of x are already opposites, so you can simply add the two equations to eliminate x.

... (-7x +3y) + (7x -2y) = (14) + (-14)

... y = 0 . . . . . . . simplify

... -7x + 3·0 = 14 . . . . substitute the value of x into the first equation

.. x = 14/(-7) = -2

The solution is (x, y) = (-2, 0).

What is the distance between two points(2,-6)(-7,1)

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

11.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the distance in the x-direction between the x-components: 2 - (-7) = 9.

Similarly: between the y-components: 1 - (-6) = 7

Apply the Pythagorean Theorem: 9^2 + 7^2 = d^2, where d is the desired distance:

81 + 49 = d^2, or d^2 = 130

The distance d is approximately √130 ≈ 11.4

2d+7/6-d-5/3=0 Tell me the answer

Inessa [10]

Answer:

d=1／2

Step-by-step explanation:

$2d + \frac{7}{6} - d - \frac{5}{3} = 0 \\ 2d - d = \frac{5}{3} - \frac{7}{6} \\ d = \frac{10}{6} - \frac{7}{6} \\ d = \frac{3}{6} \\ d = \frac{1}{2}$
