Answer:
(1, 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract the second equation from the first:
(y) -(y) = (6x -4) -(-x +3)
0 = 7x -7 . . . . . simplify
0 = x - 1 . . . . . . divide by 7
1 = x . . . . . . . . . add 1
y = -1 +3 = 2 . . . substitute into the second equation
The solution is (x, y) = (1, 2).
For this problem we can represent the situation as a rectangle triangle.
x: depth of water.
40: Base. "Antonio pulls the lily to one side, keeping the stem straight, until the blossom touches the water at a spot"
x + 8: Hypotenuse. "He notices water lily sticking straight up from the water, whose blossom is 8 cm above the water's surface." Antonio pulls the lily to one side, keeping the stem straight, until the blossom touches the water at a spot".
By the Pythagorean theorem we have:
x ^ 2 + 40 ^ 2 = (x + 8) ^ 2
Clearing x:
x ^ 2 + 1600 = x ^ 2 + 16x + 64
x ^ 2 - x ^ 2 = 16x + 64 - 1600
0 = 16x -1536
1536 = 16x
1536/16 = x
x = 96
answer:
1) x ^ 2 + 40 ^ 2 = (x + 8) ^ 2
2) the depth of the water is
x = 96
Hiya.
It would require 4 blocks, so it’s would be C.
Start with the solution
x=-25
use the reverse of what they asked
they wanted division and addition
we use multiplication and subtract
ok
x=-25
we can use subtraction and multiplication in any order
minus 10 from both sides
x-10=-35
multiply both sides by 4
4(x-10)=-140
4x-40=-140 is a possible equation
