Answer:

x = 26 , y = 33

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 2y = 144 (1)

2x + 5y = 217 (2)

3x + 2y = 144

(divide the equation by 3)

x + (2/3)y = 48

x = 48 - (2/3)y

Plug into (2)

2[48 - (2/3)y] + 5y = 217

96 - (4/3)y + 5y = 217

11y/3 = 217 - 96

11y/3 = 121

y = 121×3/11

y = 33

x = 48 - (2/3)y

x = 48 - (2/3)(33)

x = 48 - 22

x = 26

How do I know if lines are perpendicular
AveGali [126]

You can tell if lines are perpendicular or not by seeing if meet in a right angle. A right angle is like a square, and the lines would have to be 90 degrees.

One example is when the two lines (horizontal and vertical) meet each other at the ends.

(You MUST make sure that they are directly horizontal and vertical. If not, they will either be acute or obtuse).

I hope this helped!

Answer:

20 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Scale of 1 : 50 is used to make a model

If the model has a height of 40 cm ; the height of the house is:

Then, the actual height of the house is (40 * 50) = 2000 cm

Thus the height of the house in metre is :

100cm = 1 meter

2000 cm = 2000 / 100

2000 cm = 20 meter

Height of house in meter = 20 meter
