Answer:

x=4/5, y=1/5, z=14/5

or

using decimals

x=0.8,  y=0.2,  z= 2.8

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-y+2z=7 (1)

-x+2y-2z=-6 (2)

2x+3y-4z=-9 (3)

1) Add equations (1) and (2)

2x-y+2z=7

<u>-x+2y-2z= - 6</u>

x + y     =  1  (equation 5)

2) Multiply equation (2) by - 2

<u> -x+2y-2z= - 6 / *(-2)</u>

2x  - 4y+4z = 12     (equation 4)

3) add equation (4) and (3)

2x  - 4y+4z = 12

<u>2x   +3y -4z= - 9</u><u> </u>

4x - y  =         3 (equation 6)

4) Add equation (5) and equation (6) to find x

x + y     =  1

<u>4x - y  =  3 </u>

5x      = 4

x = 4/5

5) Use equation 5 to find y

x+y = 1,  x=4/5

4/5+y=1

y=1/5

6) Use equation (1) to find z

2x-y+2z=7 , x=4/5, y=1/5

2*4/5 - 1/5 +2z =7

8/5-1/5 +2z = 7

7/5 + 2z = 7

2z = 7- 7/5

2z = 35/5 - 7/5

2z = 28/5

z =14/5

The sum of two numbers is 43 . The smaller number is 19 less than the larger number. What are the numbers?
Setler [38]
Let the smaller number be x and the larger number be y.
We can calculate this by using simultaneous equation, aka listing 2 equations out.
From given,
X + y = 43
Let this be equation no. 1
X + 19 = y
Let this number be equation 2.
We can do simultaneous equations either by substitute method or elimination. In this case I'm using substitute.
We can already obtain the value of y (in terms of x) in euqation no. 2, so all we gonna do is to put y into equation 1.
X + x + 19 = 43
Solve this by algebra.
2x = 43 - 19
X = 12
Now we know the exact value of x
Now substitute x = 12 into equation no. 2
12 + 19 = y
Y = 31
So the answer is 12 and 31

If x = 9 and y = -2 what’s 10 + 5xy
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

10 + 5xy = -80

Step-by-step explanation:

10 + 5xy = ?

x = 9 and y = -2

10 + 5xy = 10 + 5(9)(-2)

             = 10 - 90

             = -80

The 3 side lengths of a right-
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer: the area of the triangle = 10.5 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 3x=a, 4x=b, 5x=c.

Hence,

P=2*(a+b+c)

36=2*(3x+4x+5x)

36=2*12x

36=24x

Divide both parts of the equation by 24:

1.5 cm=x

a=3x

a=3*1.5

a=4.5 cm

b=4x

b=4*1.5

b=6 cm

c=5x

c=5*1.5

c=7.5 cm

\displaystyle\\S=\frac{a*b}{2} \\\\S=\frac{4.5*6}{2} \\\\S=3.5*3\\\\S=10.5\  cm^2
