Answer:

The length of the side of the triangles are;

First side = 38 ft

Second side = 19 ft

Third side =24 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the question we are going to take;

Second side is x ft

Since, the first side is 2 times the second side then;

First side of the triangle is 2x ft

Since the third side is 5 ft less than the second side, then;

The third side is (x+5) ft

But, the perimeter of the triangle is 81 ft

Perimeter of a triangle is given by the sum of sides;

Therefore;

x + 2x +(x +5) = 81 ft

4x + 5 = 81

4x = 76

    x = 19 ft

Therefore;

Second side = 19 ft

First side = 38 ft

Third side = 24 ft

Describe in your own words the characteristics of linear equations that determine whether a system of linear equations will be I
Hunter-Best [27]

Step-by-step explanation:

i) An intersecting system of linear equations

A system of linear equations comprises of two or more linear equations. Linear equations are simply straight line equations with a given slope and a unique y-intercept .

Solutions to systems of linear equations can be determined using a number of techniques among them being;

Elimination method

Substitution method

Graphical method

The graphs of a system of linear equations will intersect at a unique single point if the lines are not parallel.

An example of intersecting system of linear equations;

y = 2x -5 and y =5x + 4

The two lines will intersect at a particular single point since the slopes are not identical. The attachment below demonstrates this aspect.

ii) A parallel system of linear equations

Two lines are said to be parallel if they have an identical slope but unique y-intercepts. Parallel lines never intersect at any given point since the perpendicular distance between them is always constant.

Thus a parallel system of linear equations has no solution. An example of parallel system of linear equations;

y = 3x - 4 and y = 3x + 8

The attachment below demonstrates this aspect.

iii) A coincident system of linear equations

A system of linear equations is said to be coincident if the two straight lines are identical. That is the lines have an identical slope and y-intercept. Basically, we are just looking at the same line. Two parallel lines can also intersect if they are coincident, which means they are the same line and they intersect at every point.

Therefore, this system of linear equations will have an infinite number of solutions.

Solve the system of equations<br>-3y+4x=13 <br>-5y-6x=-67​
lora16 [44]

Answer:

{x,y} = {67/16,-15/4}

Step-by-step explanation:

// Solve equation [2] for the variable  y

 [2]    2y = -8x + 26

 [2]    y = -4x + 13

// Plug this in for variable  y  in equation [1]

  [1]    4x + 5•(-4x+13) = -2

  [1]    -16x = -67

// Solve equation [1] for the variable  x

  [1]    16x = 67

  [1]    x = 67/16

// By now we know this much :

   x = 67/16

   y = -4x+13

// Use the  x  value to solve for  y

   y = -4(67/16)+13 = -15/4
