Answer:
Option D. (8, – 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 4y = 8 ..... (1)
x – y = 12.... (2)
To solve the above equation by elimination method, do the following:
Step 1:
Multiply equation 1 by the coefficient of x in equation 2 i.e 1.
Multiply equation 2 by the coefficient of x in equation 1 i.e 3. This is illustrated below:
1 × Equation 1
1 × (3x + 4y = 8)
3x + 4y = 8 ...... (3)
3 × Equation 2
3 × ( x – y = 12)
3x – 3y = 36......(4)
Step 2:
Subtract equation 3 from equation 4. This is illustrated below:
. 3x – 3y = 36
– (3x + 4y = 8)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
– 7y = 28
Divide both side by the coefficient of y i.e –7
y = 28/–7
y = – 4
Step 3:
Substitute the value of y into any of the equation to obtain the value of x. In this case, we shall substitute the value of y into equation 2 as shown below:
x – y = 12
y = –4
x – (–4) = 12
x + 4 = 12
x = 12 – 4
x = 8
Therefore, the solution to the equation above is (8, – 4)
The answer is one eighth because since a whole is 8 and seven eights is eaten, there is one eighth left.
Answer:
81
Step-by-step explanation:
12(6) + 9
72 + 9
81......
Let the number be x,
(1/2)x=1+(1/3)x
Solving for x,
(1/2)x-(1/3)x=1+(1/3)x-(1/3)x
(1/2)x-(1/3)x=1
(1*3/6)x-(1*2/6)x=1
(3/6)x-(2/6)x=1
(1/6)x=1
6*(1/6)x=6*1
Therefore, x=6
Answer:
23ft approx
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
Distance from tree= 10ft
Length of ladder= 25ft
We can find the height of the tree by applying the Pythagoras theorem
z^2= x^2+y^2
z= The height of the ladder
x= The distance from the tree
y= The height of the tree
25^2= 10^2+ y^2
625=100+y^2
625-100=y^2
525=y^2
y= √525
y= 22.91
Hence the height of the tree is 23ft approx
