2x+y=9
3x+5y=19
I will do this problem in 2 ways. I.)Substitution II.)Elimination
Solution I.) Substitution
We can subtract 2x from both sides in the first equation.
y=9-2x
Now we can substitute the y in the second equation with 9-2x
3x+5(9-2x)=19
-7x+45=19
-7x=-26
x=26/7
y=9-2(26/7)=11/7
Solution II.)Elimination
We can multiply both side of first equation by 5 to get a 5y in both equations.
10x+5y=45
Now because both are positive 5y we just need to do simple subtraction of the 2 equation, each side respectively.
(10x+5y)-(3x+5y)=45-19
7x=26
x=26/7
2*26/7+y=9
y=11/7
Ultimately you get the same answer, both are viable methods, some problems are faster with one method but I recommend mastering both since they are very useful.
Answer:
James is 58 and Tyson is 39 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
x + y = 97
x - y = 19 +
--------------
2x = 116
x = 58
--------------
y = 97 - 58
y = 39
Answer:
approx. 24.6 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
x=the distance of the fire from the base of the tower
200ft=the height of the tower
7 degrees=the angle of depression
Using these values you can draw a diagram that highlights that you need to use trig. to work out the answer.
Using Tan:
Tan 7=x/200 ft
multiply both sides by 200 ft
200*tan 7=24.55691218
approx. 24.6 ft
