Answer:

y is equal to -1

x is equal to 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing you would do is multiply the bottom equation by a negative 3. You will get - 6x - 9y = -15. Keep the top equation the same. Both of the 6x's cancel. You then get -11y = 11 so y is equal to negative 1.

Since you have Y, you can now plug that in to any equation to find the value of x. -6x - 2(-1) = 26. You're left with 4. Plug both of the values into each equation to double check.

Solve the following System of Three Equations: x−3y+z=−15 2x+y−z=−2 x+y+2z=1

jeyben [28]

Answer:

x = -3 , y = 4 , z = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{x - 3 y + z = -15

2 x + y - z = -2

x + y + 2 z = 1

Hint: | Choose an equation and a variable to solve for.

In the first equation, look to solve for z:

{x - 3 y + z = -15

2 x + y - z = -2

x + y + 2 z = 1

Hint: | Solve for z.

Subtract x - 3 y from both sides:

{z = 3 y + (-x - 15)

2 x + y - z = -2

x + y + 2 z = 1

Hint: | Perform a substitution.

Substitute z = -15 - x + 3 y into the second and third equations:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

15 + 3 x - 2 y = -2

x + y + 2 (-15 - x + 3 y) = 1

Hint: | Expand the left hand side of the equation x + y + 2 (-15 - x + 3 y) = 1.

x + y + 2 (-15 - x + 3 y) = x + y + (-30 - 2 x + 6 y) = -30 - x + 7 y:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

15 + 3 x - 2 y = -2

-30 - x + 7 y = 1

Hint: | Choose an equation and a variable to solve for.

In the second equation, look to solve for x:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

15 + 3 x - 2 y = -2

-30 - x + 7 y = 1

Hint: | Isolate terms with x to the left hand side.

Subtract 15 - 2 y from both sides:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

3 x = 2 y - 17

-30 - x + 7 y = 1

Hint: | Solve for x.

Divide both sides by 3:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

x = (2 y)/3 - 17/3

-30 - x + 7 y = 1

Hint: | Perform a substitution.

Substitute x = (2 y)/3 - 17/3 into the third equation:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

x = (2 y)/3 - 17/3

(19 y)/3 - 73/3 = 1

Hint: | Choose an equation and a variable to solve for.

In the third equation, look to solve for y:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

x = (2 y)/3 - 17/3

(19 y)/3 - 73/3 = 1

Hint: | Isolate terms with y to the left hand side.

Add 73/3 to both sides:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

x = (2 y)/3 - 17/3

(19 y)/3 = 76/3

Hint: | Solve for y.

Multiply both sides by 3/19:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

x = (2 y)/3 - 17/3

y = 4

Hint: | Perform a back substitution.

Substitute y = 4 into the first and second equations:

{z = -x - 3

x = -3

y = 4

Hint: | Perform a back substitution.

Substitute x = -3 into the first equation:

{z = 0

x = -3

y = 4

Hint: | Sort results.

Very lost on this one! Anyone know?

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, all of the sides are equal. All sides should add up to 180 degrees.

x+x+x=180

180/3= 60

An observer in tower A sees a boat 1538 yd away at an angle of depression of 35°. To the nearest yard, how far is the boat away

Thepotemich [5.8K]

From my own solution, my answer is closest to D. 1951 yd; 27°

The boat is 1951 yards away from the observer in tower B. The angle of depression to the boat from Tower B is 27°.

Pls. see my attachment.

In it I divided the big triangle into two small right triangles.
I solved for the common leg of the right triangles by using sin theta formula. sin θ = opposite / hypotenuse

sin 35° = opposite / 1538 yd
sin 35° * 1538 yd = opposite
882.16 yd = opposite

From there, I used the Pythagorean theorem to solve for the missing side which is part of the 3,000 yd measure.

I got the measure of 1,259.86 yards. The remaining measure of 1,740.14 is the side of the other right triangle.

Still using Pythagorean Theorem, I used the measurement of the known side of the 2nd right triangle to solve for its hypotenuse which was 1,950.97 or 1,951 yards.

With regards to the angle of depression, I used this formula:

tan(y) = opposite / adjacent
tan(y) = 1538 yd / 3000 yd
tan(y) = 0.513
y = 0.513/tan
y = 27.14°
