<u>the correct question is</u>

The denarius was a unit of currency in ancient rome. Suppose it costs the roman government 10 denarii per day to support 4 legionaries and 4 archers. It only costs 5 denarii per day to support 2 legionaries and 2 archers. Use a system of linear equations in two variables. Can we solve for a unique cost for each soldier?

Let

x-------> the cost to support a legionary per day

y-------> the cost to support an archer per day

we know that

4x+4y=10 ---------> equation 1

2x+2y=5 ---------> equation 2

If you multiply equation 1 by 2

2*(2x+2y)=2*5-----------> 4x+4y=10

so

equation 1 and equation 2 are the same

The system has infinite solutions-------> Is a consistent dependent system

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

We cannot solve for a unique cost for each soldier, because there are infinite solutions.

Solve the system of equations 3x = 84 - 2y 9x = 8y - 24
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

3x = 84 - 2y -  -  - (i) \\ 9x = 8y - 24 -  -  -  - (ii) \\ from \: (ii) \\ 3(3x) = 8y - 24 \\ but \: from \: (i) \:  \: 3x = 84 - 2y \\ hence \: put \: (i) \: in \: (ii) \\ 3(84 - 2y) = 8y - 24 \\ 252 - 6y = 8y - 24 \\ 276 = 14y \\ y =  \frac{138}{7}  \\ x =  \frac{104}{7}

A rectangle has 4 sides
each side is a right angle
a right angle by definition is 90 degrees
90 + 90 + 90 + 90 = 360\\ or\\ 90 * 4 = 360

Please help on this one plzzzz
deff fn [24]

We know that Angle Bisector Divides an Angle into Two Equal Angles.

As UP is the Angle Bisector of Angle U, It Divides Angle U into two Equal Parts they are Angle(1) and Angle(2)

⇒ Angle(1) = Angle(2)

Given Angle(1) = 5x + 10 and Angle(2) = 3x + 14

⇒ 5x + 10 = 3x + 14

⇒ 2x = 4

⇒ x = 2

⇒ Angle(1) = 5x + 10 = 5(2) + 10 = 10 + 10 = 20

So : Measure of Angle(1) is 20
