Answer:

Height of the stone​ face = 66.29 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer the given figure, here we need to find height of the stone​ face,

Height of the stone​ face = CD

CD = AD - AC

In ΔABC we have

             tan31=\frac{AC}{AB}\\\\tan31=\frac{AC}{900}\\\\AC=540.77feet

In ΔABD we have

             tan34=\frac{AD}{AB}\\\\tan34=\frac{AD}{900}\\\\AD=607.06feet

CD = AD - AC = 607.06 - 540.77 = 66.29 feet

Height of the stone​ face = CD = 66.29 feet

C) 22

86/4 = 21.5
*5 Or more, raise the score*
(rounds to 22)
you should have 2 lightbulbs left over but you would be 2 lightbulbs short if you were to get 21 packages as opposed to 22

Solve the following system of equations for all three variables.
nignag [31]
  5x - 2y + 1z = 8 ⇒   5x - 2y + 1z = 8
-9x + 2y + 2z = 5 ⇒ -9x + 2y + 2z = 5
-9x -  2y -  5z = 4             -4x + 3z = 13

 5x -  2y + 1z = 8
-9x + 2y + 2z = 5 ⇒ -9x + 2y + 2z = 5
-9z -  2y -  5z = 4 ⇒ -9x -  2y -  5z = 4
                                        -18x - 3z = 9

     -4x + 3z = 13
    -18x - 3z =   9
           -22x = 22
            -22    -22
                x = -1
    -18x - 3z = 9
-18(-1) - 3z = 9
       18 - 3z = 9
     - 18       - 18
             -3z = -9
              -3     -3
                z = 3

    5x - 2y + z = 8
5(-1) - 2y + 3 = 8
     -5 - 2y + 3 = 8
     -2y - 5 + 3 = 8
           -2y - 2 = 8
                + 2 + 2
                -2y = 10
                 -2     -2
                   y = -5
          (x, y, z) = (-1, -5, 3)

For the following system, if you isolated x in the first equation to use the substitution method, what expression would you subs
alekssr [168]

Answer:

x=2y+6

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the system:

-x+2y=-6\\3x+y=8

If we isolate the x-variable in the first equation:

-x+2y=-6

Subtract 2y from both sides:

-x=-6-2y

Divide both sides by -1:

x=2y+6

Therefore, we would substitute the above into the second equation:

3x+y=8\\3(2y+6)+y=8

The answer is 2y+6

Further notes:

To solve for the system, distribute:

6y+18+y=8

Simplify:

7y+18=8

Subtract:

7y=-10

Divide:

y=-10/7\approx-1.4286

Now, substitute this value back into the isolated equation:

x=2(-10/7)+6\\x=-20/7+42/7\\x=22/7\approx3.1429
