Answer:

Solving below systems of equations using linear combination method we get

x = -7

y =  5

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear combinations which is also commonly known as the addition method is used for solving the system of equations without graphs

Step 1: arrange the equation in standard form

2x + 3y = 1----------------------(1)

2x +  y  =  -9--------------------(2)

Step 2: Set one of the coefficient to opposite sides

So lets multiply eq(2) with negative sign, so

2x + 3y = 1

-2x -  y  =  9

Step 3: Perform Addition

2x + 3y = 1

-2x -  y  =  9

-----------------------

0x +2y = 10

--------------------------

Step 4: Solve for y

2y =10

y =\frac{10}{2}

y = 5

Step 5: Substitute y value in equation(1)

2x + 3(5) = 1

2x + 15 =1

2x = 1-15

2x =-14

x= \frac{-14}{2}

x = -7

a 136 foot tall cell phone tower casts a 79.9 foot shadow. find the shadow length for a nearby 40 foot telephone pole
AleksAgata [21]

Given :

A 136 foot tall cell phone tower casts a 79.9 foot shadow.

To Find :

The shadow length for a nearby 40 foot telephone pole .

Solution :

We know , the ratio of height and shadow , will be same for every object .

Let , length of shadow of pole is x .

So ,

\dfrac{79.9}{136}=\dfrac{x}{40}\\\\x=\dfrac{79.9\times 40}{136}\ foot\\\\x=23.5\ foot

Therefore , the length of shadow of tower is 23.5 foot .

Hence , this is the required solution .
