Answer:

x = 7, y = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

50x - 2y = 230 → (1)

50x - 3y = 170 → (2)

Subtract (2) from (1) term by term on both sides

y = 60

Substitute y = 60 into either of the 2 equations and evaluate for x

Substituting into (1)

50x - 2(60) = 230

50x - 120 = 230 ( add 120 to both sides )

50x = 350 ( divide both sides by 50 )

x = 7

Solve the following quadratic equation.

Nonamiya [84]

Given:

Consider the given equation is

$(x-18)^2=1$

To find:

The values of x.

Solution:

We have,

$(x-18)^2=1$

Taking square root on both sides, we get

$x-18=\pm\sqrt{1}$

$x-18=\pm 1$

Adding 18 on both sides, we get

$x-18+18=\pm 1+18$

$x=\pm 1+18$

Now,

$x=1+18$ and $x=-1+18$

$x=19$ and $x=17$

Therefore, the correct option is A.

What is the length of PQ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯?

Otrada [13]

Answer: ≈ 5.2

Step-by-step explanation:

You're gonna want to use the Law of Cosines to solve:

c² = a² + b² -2abcos(R)

c² = 6² + 9² - 2(6)(9)cos(34°)

c² = 36 + 81 - 108cos(34°)

c² = 117 - 108(.82904)

c² = 27.46368

√c² = √27.46368 => 5.2405 = 5.2

The two men measure the angle of elevation to the highest point on the rock to be 22.6°. They

IgorC [24]

Answer:

15 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to attached picture

The height = h
Angles of elevation 22.6° and 38.3°
Closer distance = d

Use tangent to solve

tan 22.6° = h/(d + 17) ⇒ h = (d + 17) tan 22.6° ⇒ h = 0.42(d + 17)
tan 38.3° = h/d ⇒ h = d tan 38.3° ⇒ h = 0.79d

Compare the equations above and find the value of d:

0.42(d + 17) = 0.79d
0.42d + 7.14 = 0.79d
0.79d - 0.42d = 7.14
0.37 d = 7.14
d = 7.14/0.37
d = 19.3 m

Now find the value of h:

h = 0.79d
h = 0.79*19.3
h = 15

Graph the direct variation of y=1.5x. Using the graph find several integer values of x for which the values of y are positive

Vesna [10]

Answer:

y=-3

-3=-1.5x

you substitiue y value, then you divide both sides by -1.5 and you get 2 for x.

(2,-3)

y=4.5

4.5=-1.5x

you substitute y value, then again you divide both sides by -1.5 and you get 3.

(3,4.5)

y=6

6=-1.5x

same thing for this last one. then once again divide by -1.5 and you get -4.

(-4,6)
