Find the ordered pair of x=5y-7 and x+5y=8

Answer:

The desired ordered pair is (1/2, 3/2).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use the substitution method here to determine either x or y first:

x = 5y - 7 (given).  Then 5y - 7 can be substituted for x in x + 5y = 8:

5y - 7 + 5y = 8.

Combining like terms, we get 10y = 15, so that y = 3/2.

Find x by substituting 3/2 for y in x = 5y - 7:  x = 5(3/2) - 7 = 15/2 - 14/2 = 1/2

The desired ordered pair is (1/2, 3/2).

Answer:

• x = 9

• y = 6√2

Step-by-step explanation:

The right triangles are all similar, so the ratios of hypotenuse to short side are the same:

27/x = x/3

x^2 = 81 . . . . . multiply by 3x

x = 9 . . . . . . . . take the square root

Then y can be found from the Pythagorean theorem:

x^2 = y^2 + 3^2

81 - 9 = y^2 = 72 . . . . . subtract 9

y = √72 = 6√2 . . . . . . .take the square root

The values of x and y are 9 and 6√2, respectively.
