Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:


Let's solve for
in the first equation and then solve for
in the second equation.
I will then use the following identity to get right of the parameter,
:
(Pythagorean Identity).
Let's begin with
.
Subtract 2 on both sides:

Divide both sides by -3:

Now time for the second equation,
.
Subtract 1 on both sides:

Divide both sides by 4:

Now let's plug it into our Pythagorean Identity:




Adding a negative number is the same as subtracting a positive number. So 2315.5 - 3166.75 = -851.25
Answer:
(8,6)
Step-by-step explanation:
y=x3/4
y=8(3/4)
y=24/4
y=6
when you input 8 for x, you get 6 for y.
He lost 8, so he is at -8, he then gains 15 so add 15 to -8"-8 + 15 = 7
He gains 7 so now add 7 to the total: 7+ 7 = 14
He then loses 4, so now subtract 4 from the total: 14 - 4 = 10
Answer: He gained 10 yards.
