Answer:

use the combination method

Step-by-step explanation:

     x - 2y = -13

+ 5 x + 2y = -17


since 2y is in both equations you cancel them out.


5x + x = 6x    

-2y + 2y = 0

-13 + (-17) = -30

put it back into the equation

6x + 0 = -30 or 6x = -30

6x ÷ 6 = x

-30 ÷ 6 = -5

x = -5

then plug into the equation x - 2y = -13 and 5x + 2y = -17


-5 - 2y = -13

-13 + 5 = -8

-2y = -8

y = 4


x = -5 and y = 4

CONSTRUCTION Carlos is building a screen door. The height of the door is I foot more than twice its width. What is the width of
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

<h2>width = 3 feet</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h be the height of the door

and w be its width

The statement “The height of the door is I foot more than twice its width”

can be translated mathematically like this :  h = 2w + 1

Let’s solve the equation for w:

h = 2w + 1

⇔ 2w = h - 1

\Leftrightarrow w=\frac{h-1}{2}

now , if the door is 7 feet high then it’s width is equal to :

\Rightarrow \frac{7-1}{2} =\frac{6}{2} =3 \ ft

A baseball is hit inside a baseball diamond with a length and width of 90 feet each. What is the probability that the ball will
professor190 [17]
90(squared) + 90 (squared) = C (squared)
(we use 90 because the base path is 90 ft long since the diamond is a square that makes all sides 90 ft long)
8100 + 8100 = c(squared)
16200 = c(squared)
we will get the square root of 16200 to get the diagonal length
C=127.3 ft, and since it is the diagonal distance we will device it to 2, to get the distance from the pitcher ro the 2nd base.
127.3/2 = 67.7 ft.
67.7 ft is the distance from the pitcher<span> to the 2nd base.</span>
