Let me help you with this :)

John = x 
Mike = y

x = 4 + 3y (4 more than 3 times)

x + y = 20 (we put the x above into this equation)

4 + 3y + y = 20 
4y = 16 (we transfers the 4 on the left side to the right side and subtract it from the 20)
y = 4 (the answer is 4)

we use this for the equation:

x = 4 +3*4
x = 16

John is 16 years old and Mike is 4 years old :)

3.906m

Step-by-step explanation:

from the topic angle of elevation and depression

putting down the above question diagrammatically

we have a triangle

The angle of elevation pad looking up = 38°

using the tangent rule TOA

TAN∅= OPPOSITE/ADJACENT

we have

tan 38° = x/5

x= tan 38° × 5

x= 0.781 * 5

x = 3.906m

Which constants could each equation be multiplied by to eliminate the x-variable using addition in this system of equations? 2x+
Elden [556K]

Answer:

The first equation can be multiplied by 3 and the second equation by 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2x+3y=25

-3x + y=22

Required

How to eliminate x

To eliminate x using addition, we have to do the following;

1. Take the coefficient of x in equation 1; Coefficient = 2

2. Take the coefficient of x in equation 2; Coefficient = -3

3. Multiply equation 1 by 3

3(2x + 3y = 25)

6x +9y = 75

4. Multiply equation 2 by 2

2(-3x + y = 22)

-6x + 2y = 44

5. Add both resulting equations

6x +9y = 75  +  -6x + 2y = 44

6x - 6x + 9y + 2y = 75 + 44

11y = 75 + 44

Notice that x has been eliminated;
