Since the two equations equal y, set them equal to each other.
x-1=-2x+5
From there, solve for x.
First get x on one side, by using the addition property of equality.
x-1=-2x+5
3x-1=5
Isolate x by adding 1.
3x=6
Lastly get x all by itself by dividing each side by 3.
x=2
You can now substitute your x-value, 2, into one of the equations (or both, if you wish; either one will result in the same answer.)
y=x-1
y=2-1
y=1
OR
y=-2x+5
y=-2(2)+5
y=-4+5
y=1
Final answer:
x=2 and y=1

C is correct because A is 2.82 and B is 2.8
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given:</u>
- Horizontal leg of the right triangle = 778 ft
- Angle opposite to vertical length = 39°
- Vertical leg = h
<u>Use tangent to solve for h:</u>
- h/778 = tan 39°
- h / 778 = 0.81
- h = 0.81*778
- h = 630.18
Correct choice is B
