X-y=3
x+y=13

Add the two equations to get the following in order to solve for x:
2x=16
x=8

Next you substitute into x+y=13 to solve for y

8+y=13
y=5

Therefore, x=8 and y=5

X - y = 3
x + y = 13
Adding both equations
2x = 16
x = 8
y = 5

5 less than a number is equivalent to 1 more than three times the number. the number is

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

5 less than a number is equivalent to 1 more than three times the number

number = x

x - 5 = 3x + 1

now im going to get the numbers and variable on different sides

x - 5 + 5 = x

3x + 1 - 3x = 1

x + 3x = 4x

1 - 5 = -4

4x = -4

lastly im going to divide each side by 4

4x / 4 = x

-4 / 4 = -1

x = -1

If a bloodstain has a length of 3.0cm and a width of 1.5cm what is the angle of impact?

zalisa [80]

The angle of impact is 30°

<h3>What is the angle of impact?</h3>

In a bloodstain, the angle of impact can be used to determine the appearance of the resulting bloodstain if the bloodstain has a tail or pattern.

Bloodstain pattern analysis is the study of bloodstains at a scene of the crime in an attempt to reconstruct the events that resulted in the bloodshed.

Mathematically;

$\mathbf{Angle \ of \ impact = sin^{-1} (\dfrac{width \ stain}{length \ stain} )}$
