Y=1/2x +5 Y=-3/2x-7 Find x and y

I'm going to use the substitution method. 

If y = - 3/2 - 7, then:

1/2x + 5 = - 3/2x - 7

Combine like terms: 

4/2x = - 12. Mutiply both sides by 2/4 to get x = -12 (2/4)

Simplify to get:

x = - 6.

Plug - 6 back in for x in either equation.

Y = 1/2( - 6) + 5 which becomes Y = - 3 + 5.

X = - 6, Y = 2

Niko has an orange tree and a lemon tree in his backyard the orange tree is 7 feet tall 9 inches tall the lemon tree is 1 yard 2
Dennis_Churaev [7]
We can solve this by converting both measurements to inches.

Orange tree:
1 foot=12 inches
7 feet=84 inches
84 inches + 9 inches = 93 inches total

Lemon tree:
1 yard=3 feet=36 inches
2 feet=24 inches
36 inches + 24 inches + 5 inches=65 inches total

Therefore, the orange tree is taller than the lemon tree.

Given problem type SAA or ASA, how would you solve for the length of any of the remaining sides?
VMariaS [17]
This is the concept of geometry and trigonometry, when you have been givn a problem type SAA (side-angle-angle) or ASA (Angle-side-angle), to solve the problem of this kind we use the sine rule which states that given triangle ABC with sides a,b,c. Then;
a/sin A=b/sin B=c/sin C

How much do you have to add to 3/2 to make it equal to the sum of 11/5 and 4 1/2?
nordsb [41]

Step-by-step explanation:

sum is addition

3/2+x=11/5+4 1/2

get x alone by using opposite operation to get 3/2 on other side of equal sign

3/2 is being added to x, so the opposite is subtracting

3/2-3/2+x=11/5+4 1/2-3/2

3/2 cancels out on the left

x=11/5+4 1/2-3/2

need same denominator, all denominators are factors of 10

2×5

multiply top and bottom of each fraction to get denominator of 10

(11/5)*(2/2)

(4/1)*(10/10) and (1/2)*(5/5)

(3/2)*(5/5)

multiply top and bottom and add

x=(22/10)+(4/10)+(5/10)-(15/10)

add all numerators

x=(22+4+5-15)/10

x=16/10

now simplifydivide by 2 on top and bottom

x=(16/10)÷(2/2)

x=8÷5

5/5 is 1, and there is 3/5 left

so x=1 3/5
