Answer:

Jamal stands on a dock 1.5 meters above the surface of the water.A trout swims 4.8 meters below Jamal.What is the depth of the trout compared to the surface of the water?

The position of the trout is 3.3 meters below the surface of the water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Jamal's position from the surface of the water = 1.5 meters

Trout's position with reference to Jamal's position =4.8 meters (Below)

Trout's position from the surface of the water is unknown.

Let

Trouts position be 's'.

And the surface of the water as equivalent to the origin (0,0) co-ordinate of the Cartesian.

Below water we will assign negative height as it lies on negative y-axis (below the origin).

We have to find 's',which can be known from adding both the values.

s+1.5=4.8

s = 4.8-1.5=3.3

So the trout is swimming 3.3 meters below the surface of the water.

We can say that it is below the water so it can also be written as negative 3.3 (according to our coordinates).

The position of the trout is 3.3 meters below the surface of the water.

We want to use elimination to solve
y = 0                     (1)
x + y = 40             (2)

Multiply (1) by -1 to eliminate y.
-y = 0                    (3)

Add (2) and (3).
x + y + (-y) = 40 + 0
x = 40

Answer: Multiply by -1.

IgorC [24]

Factoring is a common mathematical process used to break down the factors, or numbers, that multiply together to form another number. Some numbers have multiple factors.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Factoring polynomials involves breaking up a polynomial into simpler terms (the factors) such that when the terms are multiplied together they equal the original polynomial. Factoring helps solve complex equations so they are easier to work with. Factoring polynomials includes: Finding the greatest common factor.

Factoring (called "Factorizing" in the UK) is the process of finding the factors: Factoring: Finding what to multiply together to get an expression. It is like "splitting" an expression into a multiplication of simpler expressions.
