To solve the question, the both equations should have a positive value and a negative value with same number. Then one variable can be eliminated.

To eliminate X term first, we should multiply the first equation by 2 and second one by 3.
Then,
     6X - 12Y = -30
     -6X + 15Y = 70

Or

To eliminate Y term first, we should multiply the first equation by 5 and second one by 6.
 Then,
     15X - 30Y = -75
      -12X + 30Y = 84

According to the choices given 'A' is the correct answer.

Find the missing side of this right
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

First start with the blank equation

a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}

Plug in the legs and hypotenuse. Remember c squared is always the hypotenuse.

5^{2} + 12^{2} = c^{2}

Then solve

25 + 144 = c^{2}

169 =c^{2}

\sqrt{169} = \sqrt{c^{2} }

c = 13
