Answer:

2x+ 2.1 = 7.5

x=2.7

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of an isosceles triangle with sides x and y is

2x+y = P

I put y as the single side since the question said y is the shortest side.  It should say shorter sides if the two sides with the same length are smaller than the third.

We know y =2.1 and P = 7.5

Substituting these values in, we get

2x+ 2.1 = 7.5

Subtract 2.1 from each side

2x+2.1 -2.1 = 7.5 -2.1

2x= 5.4

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 = 5.4/2

x = 2.7 m

What is one of the solutions to the following system of equations? y2 x2 = 53 y − x = 5 (−10, −5) (−7, −2) (7, 2) (5, 10).
Aliun [14]

The solution of the system of equation is (-7, -2).

<h2>Given</h2>

The system of the equations;

\rm y^2 + x^2 = 53 \\\\y -x = 5

From equation 1

\rm  y -x=5\\\\y = 5+x

Substitute the value of y in equation 1

\rm y^2+x^2=53\\\\(5+x)^2+x^2=53\\\\25+x^2+10x+x^2=53\\\\2x^2+10x+25-53=0\\\\2 x^2 + 10x - 28 = 0     \\\\Divide \ by \ 2 \ both \ side \ the \ equation\\\\x^2 + 5x - 14 = 0\\\\x^2-7x+2x-14=0\\\\x(x-7) + 2(x-7) =0\\\\(x-7) \ (x+2)=0\\\\x-7=0 \ \ x = 7\\\\x +2 =0 \ \ x=-2

The value of x= 2 is rejected because x = 2 not satisfy the equation.

Substitute 2 for the value of x in equation II

y − x = 5

y – 2 = 5

y = 5 +2

y = 7 (x =2, y =7) … Not included in the options

If x = -7

Substitute the value of x = -7 in the equation

\rm y -x=5\\\\y - (-7)=5\\\\y +7= 5\\\\y = 5-7\\\\y = -2

Hence, the solution of the system of equation is (-7, -2).

<span>A ball is thrown at a 30 degree angle above the horizontal with a speed of 10 ft/s. After 0.50s the horizontal component of it's velocity will be the same. In a projectile motion the horizontal component of the velocity is said to be constant. Therefore, it will be equal to the initial velocity.</span>
