Answer:

  • dependent system
  • x = 2 -a
  • y = 1 +a
  • z = a

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve this by eliminating z, then we'll go from there.

Add 6 times the second equation to the first.

  (3x -3y +6z) +6(x +2y -z) = (3) +6(4)

  9x +9y = 27 . . . simplify

  x + y = 3 . . . . . . divide by 9 [eq4]

Add 13 times the second equation to the third.

  (5x -8y +13z) +13(x +2y -z) = (2) +13(4)

  18x +18y = 54

  x + y = 3 . . . . . . divide by 18 [eq5]

Equations [eq4] and [eq5] are identical. This tells us the system is dependent, and has an infinite number of solutions. We can find them in terms of z:

  y = 3 -x . . . . solve eq5 for y

  x +2(3 -x) -z = 4 . . . . substitute into the second equation

  -x +6 -z = 4

  x = 2 - z . . . . . . add x-4

  y = 3 -(2 -z)

  y = z +1

So far, we have written the solutions in terms of z. If we use the parameter "a", we can write the solutions as ...

  x = 2 -a

  y = 1 +a

  z = a

_____

<em>Check</em>

First equation:

  3(2-a) -3(a+1) +6a = 3

  6 -3a -3a -3 +6a = 3 . . . true

Second equation:

  (2-a) +2(a+1) -a = 4

  2 -a +2a +2 -a = 4 . . . true

Third equation:

  5(2-a) -8(a+1) +13a = 2

  10 -5a -8a -8 +13a = 2 . . . true

Our solution checks algebraically.

Gekata [30.6K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  558

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent the student population at Edison Jr High. Then we know ...

  (4/9)p = 248 . . . . . 248 students is 4/9 of the student population

  p = 248(9/4) = 558 . . . multiply the equation by 9/4

558 students attend Edison Jr. High.

How do i find angle x
Viktor [21]
Since we have a transverse line that cuts through the straight line parallel to the height, then we can see that the angles are divided into two sections.

We also have vertically opposite angles, since the angle sum of a straight line is 180°. We have perpendicular lines since we are given a 90° angle. Thus, we know the missing angle is 45°.

Thus, 45 + x = 180
x = 135°
