-3y = x...so we sub in -3y for x in the other equation

-x + 7y = 70
-(-3y) + 7y = 70
3y + 7y = 70
10y = 70
y = 70/10
y = 7

so we sub in 7 for y in either of the original equations to find x
-3y = x
-3(7) = x
-21 = x

so ur solution is (-21,7)

If NO =17 and NP= 5x-6, find they value of x. Then find NP and OP

CaHeK987 [17]

<em>Greetings from Brasil...</em>

We notice 2 dashes on the NO and NP line. This means that both are the same size. Since NO = 17 then OP is also 17 in length.

NP = NO + OP

NP = 17 + 17

NP = 34

As already said

NP = 5X - 6 = 34

5X - 6 = 34

Find a fraction equivalent to 5/7 whose squared terms add up to 1184.

bogdanovich [222]

The system of equations of two unknowns is formulated and solved.

$\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{ \left\{\begin{matrix} \ \ \ \dfrac{x}{y} = \dfrac{5}{7} \\ x^2+y^2 = 1184 \end{matrix}\right. \ \Longrightarrow \ x=\dfrac{5}{7}y } \end{gathered}$}$

$\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{ \left (\dfrac{5}{7}y \right )^2+y^2=1184\ \Longrightarrow\ 25y^2+49y^2=58016 } \end{gathered}$}$

$\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{74y^{2}=58016} \end{gathered}$}\\\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{ \ \ \ \ \ \ y^{2}=784 } \end{gathered}$}\\\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{ \ \ \ \ \ y=\pm\sqrt{784}=\pm28 } \end{gathered}$}$

$\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{ x=\dfrac{5}{7}(\pm 28)=\pm 20 } \end{gathered}$}$

The fraction that satisfies the request is $\bf{\dfrac{20}{28}}$ , since in $\bf{\dfrac{-20}{-28}}$ the negative signs are canceled and the first fraction is obtained.
