Answer:

x= -13

y= -28

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the two numbers, write a system of equations with x as one number and y as another:

x-y=15

5x=2y-9

Use substitution to substitute one equation into another. Then solve for the variable.

x=15+y into 5x=2y-9

becomes

5(15+y) = 2y-9

75+5y = 2y- 9

75+3y= -9

3y = -84

y= -28

To find x, substitute y= -28 into one equation.

x - (-28) = 15

x+28 =15

x = 15-28

x=-13

Find the missing side. Round to the nearest tenth.
Firdavs [7]

Answer: <em>23.7</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Let's calculate the acute angle at the base of the triangle:</em>

<em>180° - 90° - 40° = 50°</em>

<em>Find side x:</em>

\dfrac{sin \: 90^{o} }{31} =\dfrac{sin \: 50^{o} }{x}\\\\sin \: 90^{o} \cdot x=sin \: 50^{o} \cdot 31\\\\sin \: 90^{o} =1\\sin \: 50^{o} \approx 0.766\\1 \cdot x =0.766 \cdot 31\\x=23.746\\23.746 \approx 23.7
