Answer:
x =
Step-by-step explanation:
Applying altitude- on - hypotenuse theorem.
(leg of large Δ )² = ( part of hypotenuse below it ) × ( whole hypotenuse )
x² = 3 × (3 + 7) = 3 × 10 = 30 ( take square root of both sides )
x =
Answer:
25L
Step-by-step explanation:
19396.5 km - 19034.0 km = 362.5 km travled
362.5 km / 14.5 km/L = 25L
Answer:
No solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the absolute value:
|x−1| + 5 = 2
Subtract 5 from both sides:
|x-1| = -3
Since an absolute value can never be equal to a negative number, there are no solutions.
Answer:
14. x=-2.5, y = -7
15. x=28 y = -20
Step-by-step explanation:
14. Let's solve this system by elimination. Multiply the first equation by -1.
-1*(4x-y)= -1*(- 3)
-4x +y = 3
Then add this to the second equation.
-4x+y = 3
6x-y= - 8
--------------
2x = -5
Divide each side by 2
x = -2.5
We still need to find y
-4x+y =3
-4(-2.5) + y =3
10 +y =3
Subtract 10 from each side.
y = 3-10
y = -7
15.I will again use elimination to solve this system, because using substitution will give me fractions which are harder to work with. I will elimiate the y variable. Multiply the first equation by 11
11(
5x+6y)= 11*20
55x+66y = 220
Multiply the second equation by -6
-6(9x+11y)=32*(-6)
-54x-66y = -192
Add the modified equations together.
55x+66y = 220
-54x-66y = -192
---------------------------
x = 28
We still need to solve for y
5x+6y = 20
5*28 + 6y =20
140 + 6y = 20
Subtract 140 from each side
6y = -120
Divide by 6
y = -20
6/9=x/21
x=21*6/9
=126/9
x=14
