Answer:

x=9 y=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let -4x+9y=9 be function 1 while x-3y=-6 be function 2

function 1 plus  4 times function 2

-4x+4x+9y-12y=-15

Simplify

-3y=-15

Divide each side by -3

y=5

Substitude y=5 into function 2

x-3(5)=-6

x-15=-6

add 15 to each side

x=9

The length of a rectangle is 5959 inches greatergreater than twice the width. if the diagonal is 2 inches more than the​ length,
lorasvet [3.4K]

Length: 2w + 59

width: w

diagonal: (2w + 59) + 2  = 2w + 61

Length² + width² = diagonal²

(2w + 59)² + (w)² = (2w + 61)²

(4w² + 118w + 3481) + w²  = 4w² + 122w + 3721

5w² + 118w + 3481 = 4w² + 122w + 3721

w² + 118w + 3481 = 122w + 3721

w² - 4w + 3481 = 3721

w² - 4w - 240 = 0

a = 1, b = -4, c = -240

w = [-(b) +/- \sqrt{(b)^{2}  - 4(a)(c) }]/2(a)

 = [-(-4) +/- \sqrt{(-4)^{2}  - 4(1)(-240) }]/2(1)

   =  [4 +/- \sqrt{(16  + 960) }]/2        

  = [4 +/- \sqrt{(976) }]/2  

  = [2 +/- 4\sqrt{(61) }]/2  

  = 1 +/- 2\sqrt{(61) }

since width cannot be negative, disregard  1 - 2√61

w = 1 + 2√61  ≈ 16.62

Length: 2w + 59  =  2(1 + 2√61) + 59  = 2 + 4√61 + 59  =  61 + 4√61  ≈ 92.24

Answer: width = 16.62 in, length = 92.24 in

Please andwer this for me <3
mina [271]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

16 : 12

x   : 6

- multiply 16*6 and divide by the number multiplying with the unknown (12)

(16*6)/12 = 8

- area of triangle is 1/2 h*b

so 1/2 * (16*8) = 64

Find the rate of change: Mike can bike 3 miles in an hour. What is the speed at which mike can bike?
masya89 [10]
Rate  of  change=<span><span>change  in  y divided by </span><span>change  in  <span>x
y= 3,6,9
x= 1,2,3
The numbers chosen above are because if mike travels 3 miles in one hours then he can travel 6 miles in two hours and 9 miles in 3 hours. 
Change in y = 3
Change in x = 1
3 / 1 = 3
So, the rate of change is 3.</span></span></span>
