Answer: x = 7, y = -3, z = 1

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

EQ 1:    3x + 4y - z      =        8     <em>solve for z</em>

            <u>             +z  -8 </u>    <u>+z - 8 </u>

            3x + 4y - 8      =  z

EQ 3:   5x + y - 2z = 30      <em>substitute 3x + 4y - 8 for z and solve for x</em>

           5x + y - 2(3x + 4y - 8) = 30

           5x + y  - 6x - 8y + 16 = 30

                          -x - 7y + 16 = 30

                         <u>              -16 </u>  <u>-16 </u>

                         -x - 7y         = 14

                       <u>       +7y       </u>    <u>+7y  </u>  

                        -x                = 7y + 14

                         x                = -7y - 14

EQ 2:   x - 5y + 2z = 24    <em>substitute 3x+4y - 8 for z and -7y - 14 for x</em>

           (-7y - 14) - 5y + 2(3x + 4y - 8) = 24

             -7y - 14 - 5y + 6(-7y - 14) + 8y - 16 = 24

             -7y - 14 - 5y  - 42y - 84 + 8y - 16 = 24

                           -46y - 114 =  24

                            <u>        +114 </u>  <u>+114 </u>

                               -46y      = 138

                              <u>÷-46       </u>  <u>÷-46 </u>

                                     y    =  -3

x = -7y - 14

  = -7(-3) - 14

  = 21 - 14

  = 7

z = 3x + 4y - 8

  = 3(7) + 4(-3) - 8

  = 21 - 12 - 8

  = 1

The perimeter of a rectangle is 24 centimeters.Its length is 9 centimeters. Find the width
liberstina [14]

Subtract 9 twice.

24-9-9 = 6

Half of 6 is 3, so 3 is the width since adding it twice and adding the length twice gives perimeter.

A pyramid with a square base of length 3cm and height 16cm
Oksana_A [137]
H = 16 cm
s = 16.0702 cm
a = 3 cm
e = 16.14 cm
r = 1.5 cm
V = 48 cm3
L = 96.421 cm2
B = 9 cm2
A = 105.421 cm<span>2

The volume of a square pyramid:V = (1/3)a2hSlant Height of a square pyramid:By the Pythagorean theorem, we know thats2 = r2 + h2since r = a/2s2 = (1/4)a2 + h2, ands = √(h2 + (1/4)a2)This is also the height of a triangle sideLateral Surface Area of a square pyramid (4 isosceles triangles):For the isosceles triangle Area = (1/2)Base x Height. Our base is side length a, and for this calculation our height for the triangle is slant height s.  With four
 sides we need to multiply by 4.L = 4 x (1/2)as = 2as = 2a√(h2 + (1/4)a2)Squaring the 2 to get it back inside the radical,L = a√(a2 + 4h2)Base Surface Area of a square pyramid (square):B = a2Total Surface Area of a square pyramid:A = L + B = a2 + a√(a2 + 4h2))A = a(a + √(a2 + 4h2))</span>
