Answer: x=20/7 y=17

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Don't need to solve for y since y is already solved.

2) Solve for x:

-2x-17=-9x+3

-2x-17+9x=-9x+3+9x (Add 9x to both sides)

7x-17=3

7x-17+17=3+17 (Add 17 to both sides)

7x=20( Divide both sides by 7)

x=20/7, y=17

16-25(b+3) square
Andre45 [30]
Since 16 and 25 are perfect squares you can factor the first part.
4^2-5^2(b+3)^2
=(4-5(b+3))(4+5(b+3))
=(4-5b-15)(4+5b+15)
=(-11-5b)(19+5b)

Which can be expanded if necessary,
= -209+150b-25b^2

The area of a triangle is 1,4440 cm^2. The base of the triangle is 5 times the height. What is the height of the triangle?
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

h = 24 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for area of a triangle is

A = (1/2)bh     where b is the base and h is the height.

We are told that the base is 5 times the height, this translates to

b = 5h, so we can rewrite our formula to

A = (1/2)(5h)(h)  or

A = (1/2)5h²

We are given A = 1,440, so plug that in and solve for h...

1,440 = (1/2)5h²

    2,880 = 5h²    (multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of the fraction)

      576 = h²    (divide both sides by 5 to get the h value by itself)

         24 = h     (take the square root of both sides)

The math problem is 100 x 0.496
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

49.6

Step-by-step explanation:

To multiply a power of (ten) 10 by a decimal all you have to do is move the decimal point the number of zeros (0) in the power of 1 to the right.

So to do this equation you move the decimal point in 0.496 you move the decimal point two (2) times to the right to get 49.6.
