Answer:
The height of Gardenview hotel is 38 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem let first suppose Garden View Hotel is "x" and the Plaza Hotel is "y" so the first equation as it says in the question will be 17x- 2y =0 and the second equation will be their combined height which is x+y =361 . Now let's solve both the equations simultaneously to get the height of GardenView Hotel.
(1)
(2)
Now multiply the second whole equation by 2 so that we can eliminate y from both the equations , after doing that the final equation is
and if we calculate x from this we will get the height of gardenview hotel which is 38 feet.
The answer for this is -12
Using the equation of the line
y -yo = m (x-xo)
We substitute xo,yo and the slope
y -5 = -8(x-1) .....> y = -8x +8 +5 = -8x +13
y = -8x +13
