Answer:

<em>The elephants' moat should be 3.2 meters deep.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose, the depth of the elephants' moat is  x meter.

Width of the lions' moat is 5 meter and width of the elephants' moat is 4 meter.

Given that, the lion’s moat is 4 meter deep.

So, <u>according to the ratio of width and depth</u>, the equation will be.......

\frac{5}{4}=\frac{4}{x}\\ \\ 5x=4*4\\ \\ 5x=16\\ \\ x=\frac{16}{5}=3.2

Thus, the elephants' moat should be 3.2 meters deep.

A, B &amp; C form a triangle where
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

10.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras theorem- a² + b² = c²

Since this is a right angle with each side on the right angle's length given you can use pythagoras theorem.

7² + 8.44² = c²

= 49 + 70.56 = c²

= 119.56 = c²

∴ c = √119.56

= 10.9

Solve the system of linear equations using multiplication.
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

(8,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system is:

3x+3y=21

6x+12y=36

Since I prefer to use smaller numbers I'm going to divide both sides of the first equation by 3 and both sides of the equation equation by 6.

This gives me the system:

x+y=7

x+2y=6

We could solve the first equation for x and replace the second x with that.

Let's do that.

x+y=7

Subtract y on both sides:

x=7-y

So we are replacing the second x in the second equation with (7-y) which gives us:

(7-y)+2y=6

7-y+2y=6

7+y=6

y=6-7

y=-1

Now recall the first equation we arranged so that x was the subject. I'm referring to x=7-y.

We can now find x given that y=-1 using the equation x=7-y.

Let's do that.

x=7-y with y=-1:

x=7-(-1)

x=7+1

x=8

So the solution is (8,-1).

We can check this point by plugging it into both equations.

If both equations render true for that point, then we have verify the solution.

Let's try it.

3x+3y=21 with (x,y)=(8,-1):

3(8)+3(-1)=21

24+(-3)=21

21=21 is a true equation so the "solution" looks promising still.

6x+12y=36 with (x,y)=(8,-1):

6(8)+12(-1)=36

48+(-12)=36

36=36 is also true so the solution has been verified since both equations render true for that point.
