Answer:
17/13
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>Treat the surface of the water as 0. The initial height of the weight was 4 ft above the surface of the water, therefore making it have an initial height of +4. If it travels 12 ft downward to hit the bottom of the pool, that means its height decreased by 12, so its falling is -12. To calculate the depth of the pool, use initial height minus drop distance, so 4 - 12. The depth of the pool is 8 ft.</span>
Answer:
(-1,-7)
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute 2x-5 (from the first equation) as the y-value for the second equation, so you have something that looks like this:
2x-5 = -2x-9
Add 2x to both sides: 4x-5 = -9
Add 5 to both sides 4x = -4
Divide both sides by 4: x = -1
Substitute -1 for x in either equation (you'll get the same y-value)
