First of all, you need to know what a 'solution' is, so you'll know it
when you see it.

A 'solution' to an equation is a number, or a set of numbers, that
you can write in place of the variables (the letters), and when you
do that, the equation will have only numbers in it, and it'll be a true
statement.

Your equation has two variables in it ... 'x' and 'y' .  In order to find
just a single set of numbers for what both of them must be, you
would need two equations.

The way it stands now, with only one equation, there are actually
an infinite number of solutions.  Each solution is a pair of numbers ...
one for 'x' and one for 'y' ... and if you write them into the equation
in place of 'x' and 'y', then the equation is a true statement. 
I'll show you how to tell if a pair of numbers is a solution or not.

Here's what that looks like:

Say I give you two pairs of numbers, and I tell you that both of them
are solutions to your equation.  The 'solutions' I give you are

          x=0
          y=1
and
          x=2
          y=3 .

You don't trust me, and you say to me "Wait just a minute there, dude ! 
Not so fast.  I'll need to check them out and see if those are really solutions
to my equation."

You take the first pair and write it into your equation:
x=1, y=0
                                   9x  -  7y  = -7
                                  9(0) - 7(1) = -7
                                   0    -  7   = -7
                                           -7   = -7
OK.  That's a true statement.
So x=0, y=1 is a solution.

Now check the other one I gave you:
x=2, y=3
                                   9x  -  7y  = -7
                                  9(2) - 7(3) = -7
                                   18  -  21  = -7
                                        -3      = -7
This is NOT a true statement.
So  x=2, y=3 is NOT a solution to your equation.
I pulled a fast one on you.  If I was charging you money for solutions,
then you would not pay me for this one, because it's not a solution.

Using a simulator at space​ camp, you practice landing your individual spaceship on landing platforms that have different shapes
Mila [183]

The Area of the platform is 33m²

Step-by-step explanation:

As the question says, the height of vertex from the base (D from AB) is 7m whereas the height of left vertex from the base (E from AB) is 4m

Thus it means the height of the Δ DCE (DX)= 7-4 ⇒3m

Since the platform is five-sided, the figure can be broken down into constituting parts

  1. Parallelogram ║ABCE
  2. Δ DCE

Are of the figure= Area of ║ABCE+ area Δ DCE

Area of ║ABCE= breadth * height

= 6*4 ⇒24m ²

Area Δ DCE= ½*(base)(height)

Putting the value of base is 6m and height as 3m

Area Δ DCE= ½*6*3

=9m ²

Total area= 24+9= 33m ²
