Step-by-step explanation:
- 2x-2y=-6
3x+4y=8
multiply equation (1) by 3 and equation (2) by 2
- 6x-6y=18
6x+8y=16
Add
2y=34
y= 34÷2
y=17
substitute 17 for y in equation (2)
3x+4y=8
3x+4(17)=8
3x+68=8
3x=8-68
3x=-60
x=-60÷3
x=-20
x=-20,y=17
Answer:
74.5°
Step-by-step explanation:
Hannah, the kite and Patricia form the vertices of a right-angled triangle with the hypotenuse side the length of the string L = 60 feet and adjacent side the distance between Hannah and Patricia = d = 16 feet.
Let the angle between the string and the sand be Ф.
By trigonometric ratios,
cosФ = adjacent/hypotenuse
= d/L
= 16 feet/60 feet
= 0.2667
Ф = cos⁻¹(0.2667)
= 74.53°
≅ 74.5°
So, he angle between the string and the sand is Ф = 74.5°
Answer:
x = 1/2 or 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
3x - 4 = x +5 (1) subtract x
2x - 4 = 5 (2) subtract 5
2x + 1 (3) divide by 2
x = 1/2 or 0.5
The answer will end up being c
