How to solve for literal equations with multiple variables

myrzilka [38]

<span>See examples for the method to solving literal equations for a given variable: Solve A = bh for b. Since h is multiplied times b, you must divide both sides by h in order to isolate b. Since (c+d) is divided by 2, you must first multiply both sides of the equation by 2</span>

If ABC~DEF what is the length of BC?<br><br> If ABC~DEF what is the length of EF?

marysya [2.9K]

BC would equal the same as EF, they are similar. All you would have to do is figure out the pre image (BC) of EF.

Determining the input using an equation f (x) = -1/3x + 7

daser333 [38]

Answer:

19

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=2/3

2/3=-1/3x+7

Subtract 7 from both sides

2/3-7=-1/3x

-6 1/3 = -1/3x

Multiply both sides by -3

-3(-6 1/3)=-1/3x(-3)

19 = x

This was given to me during a summative test and the teacher didn't bother giving me the correction. I just cannot figure it out

Dmitry [639]

Base be y

ATQ

$\\ \sf\longmapsto xy=6050\dots 1$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 2(x+y)=220\implies x+y=110\dots 2$

Now

$\\ \sf\longmapsto (x+y)^2=x^2+y^2+2xy$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 110^2-2(6050)=x^2+y^2$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 12100-12100=x^2+y^2$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x^2+y^2=0\dots(3)$

From all equations

$\\ \sf\longmapsto (x-y)^2=x^2+y^2-2xy$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto (x-y)^2=0-2(6050)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto (x-y)^2=-12100$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto (x-y)=110\dots(4)$

Now

Adding 3 and 4

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 2x=220$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x=110m$

One side won't be covered hence

y=2(110)=220m
