Can someone help me understand how to solve a two variable equation I am really lost

Easiest method solving 2 unknowns is Substitution.
So there will normally be 2(ormore)equations given.
Say
X+Y= a
bX=cY + d
a b c d are numbers they give
So first we rearrange the first equation
X = a - Y
No we substitute this into the 2nd equation so that we can get Y
since we know X = a-Y,
b(a-Y) = cY + d
we rearrange and we can find Y for this, it is just Y and numbers
hence finding Y, we sub the value for Y into X = a-Y and we get X also .

sesenic [268]

Hi!
We know that Mr. Abraham’s wife is 6 years younger than him, which is 36-6, which means his wife is 30 years old.

We also know that Mr A’s son is 24 years younger than his wife, which is 30-24, which is 6.

As of right now, we now know that:
Mr. A is 36
Mr. A’s wife is 30
Mr. A’s son is 6

It’s asking for the ratio of Him:Wife:Son, so 36:30:6.

BUT, it’s asking for simplest form, so divide each of those numbers by 6.

Your answer is: 6:5:1

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

12.58 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ron wants to build a 14 ft. ramp with an angle of the rise of 26° and the height of the ramp is about 6.1 ft.

We have to find out the length of the base of the ramp.

Now, the ramp forms a right triangle with the base and the height and here, the hypotenuse of the triangle is the ramp itself i.e. 14 ft.

If the base length is x feet, then we can write using the trigonometry

$\cos 26^{\circ} = \frac{\textrm{Base}}{\textrm {Hypotenuse}} = \frac{x}{14}$

⇒ x = 14 cos 26° = 12.58 feet. (Answer)
