Answer:

x = 1, y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

- 2x + 10y = -22 _______(1)

-2x - 4y = 6 _______(2)

From (1),

10y + 22 = 2x

x = (10y + 22) / 2

x = 5y + 11 .______(3)

Substitute (3) into (2),

-2 ( 5y + 11) -4y = 6

-10y - 22 - 4y = 6

-14y = 6 + 22

-14y = 28

y = 28/ -14

y =-2

Substitute y = -2 into (3).

x = 5y + 11

x = 5(-2) + 11

x = -10 + 11

x = 1

Therefore, the solution is x = 1, y = -2.

Help Me!!!

Zigmanuir [339]

I'll just help quickly with a couple of expressions that are equivalent.
3(m+5+9m)
If you solve it out, you get 3m+15+27m.
Simply the expression to get 30m+15.
You can regroup to make another expression 5(6m+3) which is also equal.

As you are walking down a path, you see a sign telling the path has a 2% grade (ie., a rise of 2 metres for a horizontal change

Leni [432]

Answer:

Option (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

It has been given in this question that sign telling path has a 2% grade.

2% grade means a rise of 2 meters for a horizontal change of 100 m (As given in the figure attached).

All the trigonometric ratios for the angle θ between the path and the horizontal are,

Sinθ = $\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$

Cosθ = $\frac{\text{Adjacent side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$

tanθ = $\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Adjacent side}}$

Since measures of the opposite side and adjacent sides are given

Therefore, tangent ratio will be applied to get the measure of the angle,

tanθ = $\frac{2}{100}$

θ = $\text{tan}^{-1}(\frac{2}{100})$

Option (A) will be the answer.
