Answer:

x=1  y = -1/2

(1,-1/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

7x-2y=8  

5x+2y=4

I would use elimination since we have 2y in one equation and -2y in the other

7x-2y=8  

5x+2y=4

--------------------

12x = 12

Divide each side by 12

12x/12 = 12/12

x =1

The substitute back into equation 2

5(1) +2y = 4

5 +2y = 4

Subtract 5

5-5+2y = 4-5

2y = -1

Divide by 2

2y/2 = -1/2

y = -1/2

Answer:

The best method is the elimination method. The solution is (1, -1/2).

Step-by-step explanation:

7x - 2y = 8

5x + 2y = 4

12x = 12

x = 1

7(1) - 2y = 8

7 - 2y = 8

-2y = 1

y = -1/2

Make sure to write the answer in the form of an ordered pair.

Note: Alternative methods are graphing and the substitution method.

Write the equation of an ellipse with center (-2,-3), vertical major axis of length 14, and minor axis of
Tems11 [23]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have a vertical major axis, our ellipse is vertical.

The equation of a vertical ellipse is

\frac{(y - k) {}^{2} }{ {a}^{2} }  +  \frac{(x - h) {}^{2} }{ {b}^{2} }  = 1

where

(h,k) is the center

a is the semi major axis,

b is the semi minor axis

First, let plug in our center

\frac{(y + 3) {}^{2} }{ {a}^{2} }  + \frac{(x + 2) {}^{2} }{ {b}^{2} }  = 1

Semi means half, so

a is half of 14 which is 7

B is half of 8, which is 4.

\frac{(y + 3) {}^{2} }{49}  +  \frac{(x + 2) {}^{2} }{16}  = 1

How do you solve this?
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

x=25°, y=10°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠A+∠B=180°

8y+10y=180°

18y=180°

y=10°

∠B+∠C=180°

10y+4x-20°=180°

10*10°+4x=180°+20° (y=10°)

100°+4x=200°

4x=200°-100°

4x=100°

x=25°
