Let a and b represent the heights of the corresponding buildings (in meters).
... a = b +271 . . . . . . . a is 271 meters taller than b
... 2b -a = 211 . . . . . . if a is subtracted from twice b, the result is 211
Use the expression for a in the first equation to substitute for a in the second.
... 2b - (b+271) = 211
... b = 482 . . . . . . . . . . . simplify and add 271
... a = b +271 = 753
Building a is 753 meters tall; building b is 482 meters tall.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is asking you to graph the equations.
The equations are in slope intercept form so y=mx+b
M is the slope and b is the y-intercept
First draw the y & x axis and label/number them
The y-intercept for the first equation is -1 so draw a dot on the -1 on the y-axis
The slope is 2/5 and you use rise/run to continue the slope.
you rise 2 on the y-axis and go right 5 times on the x-axis (for a negative number you go left/down)
For the second equation, you have to turn it into slope intercept form.
You should get y=2/3x+3
You graph this equation the same as you did the first one.
It would have to be an obtuse triangle
Answer:
- 3r + 18
Step-by-step explanation:
7r - 8r - 2r + 13 + 5 = 7r - 10r + 18
