First, let's multiply the first equation by two on the both sides:
<span>8x + 7y = 39 /2
</span>⇒ 16x + 14y = 78
Now, the system is:
<span>16x + 14y = 78
</span><span>4x – 14y = –68
</span>
After adding this up in the column:
(16x + 4x) + (14y - 14y) = 78 - 68
20x = 10
⇒ x = 10/20 = 1/2
y can be calculated by replacin the x:
<span>8x + 7y = 39
</span>⇒ 8 · 1/2 + 7y = 39
4 + 7y = 39
7y = 39 - 4
7y = 35
⇒ y = 35 ÷ 7 = 5
The answer is 1/8 cups. you have to take 1/6 of 3/4.
Using the Slope Equation
Pick two points on the line and determine their coordinates.
Determine the difference in y-coordinates of these two points (rise).
Determine the difference in x-coordinates for these two points (run).
Divide the difference in y-coordinates by the difference in x-coordinates (rise/run or slope).
I would think 0.10 would be the answer
Answer: 32 meters
Explanation: The 4 meter pole casts a shadow of 5 meters. The towers unknown height casts a shadow of 40 meters. Now isolate the shadows. 5 and 40. 40 divided by 5 is 8, so 4 times 8 is 32.
