I need to know how to do Solving Systems of Equations by Elimination

1 answer:

6 0

The point of elimination is to have one variable so example

3x + 2y = 4

7X + 3y = 5

1) Try to find a way to have one variable

7(3x + 2y = 4) ----> 21x + 14y = 28

-3(7x+ 3y = 5) -----> -21x -9y = -15

2) add

0 + 5y = 13

3) solve for the last variable

5y = 13
y = 13/5 = 2 3/5 = 2.8

4) Subsitute the variable to get the other one

3x + 2(2.8) = 4

3x + 5.6 = 4

3x = -1.6

x = 0.533333333 (continue)

The intersection would be 0.53 with a line above the 3 and 2.8. (0.5333 , 2.8)

Hope you understand!!

Answer:

800.00

Step-by-step explanation:

so you give me a hint that was for every 16.00 it was 1000.00

i did 16x50=800

i got 50 from <u>50</u> in 50000 and the 16 from <u>16.00 so then i times 16 from 50 which is 800</u>

an engineer decides to use similar triangles to find the distance across the river she makes the diagram below which triangles t

sergiy2304 [10]

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2 />

The missing diagram is shown below. Remember that shapes are similar if you can turn one into the other by moving, rotating, flipping, or scaling. So this means you can make the object bigger or smaller. So in this case, we know that ΔABC is similar to ΔDEF. If so, we can establish the following proportion:

$\frac{h}{56.7}=\frac{17.2}{52.4} \\ \\ h=56.7\times \frac{17.2}{52.4} \\ \\ h=18.61m$

Our goal is to find x. So by Pythagorean theorem:

$x=\sqrt{17.2^2+18.61^2} \\ \\ \boxed{x=25.34m}$

Conclusion:

<em>Distance across the river is 25.34m </em>
