To factor out the coefficient of a variable you divide it by the sum.
Answer:
X=-2
Y=-6
Step-by-step explanation:
Since both equations are already expressed in the simplest form of y, then we equate them to be equal hence
x-4=4x+2
Bringing like terms together
-4-2=4x-x
Solving both sides
-6=3x
Making x the subject then
X=-6/3=-2
Subsrituting the value of x into any of the initial equations
Y=x-4 then y=-2-4=-6
Therefore, the solution is
X=-2
Y=-6
It would have to be letter D my guy, if you know what centuries and decades are this is easy
Answer:
15 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, the illustration for the problem is a right triangle with:
hypotenuse (C)= the length of the ladder = L
horizontal side(A) = distance from bottom of the ladder to the building = L - 6
vertical side(B) = distance from the top of the ladder to the bottom of the building = L - 3
So, we can use Pythagoras formula:
A2 +B2= C2
(L – 6 )² + (L-3)² = L²
L²-12L+36+L²-6L+9 =L²
L2 -18L+45 =0
APPLYING QUADRATIC FORMULA WE OBTAIN:
L =15 OR L=3
If L=3
Vertical side = L-3 = 0 (Length can´t be 0)
So L=15
