Answer:
x = -8
y = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + 7y = 9
2x - 3y = -37
1.) First, multiply each side to match either y-values or x-values. (In this example, we'll use match x-values)
10x + 14y = 18 (multiplied by 2)
10x - 15y = -185 (multiplied by 5)
2.) Then, subtract the entirety of one equation to isolate the y-value.
10x + 14y = 18
-10x + 15y = 185
3.) Add and subtract values and divide to find y.
29y = 203
y = 7
4.) Plug-in y to solve for x into one equation, or repeat steps 1-3.
15x + 21y = 27
14x - 21y = -259
29x = -232
x = -8
Let “x” represent the cost of the dryer in dollars
The washer costs 3x dollars
3x + x = 1000
4x = 1000
x = 250
The dryer is $250

The way the diagram looks when it is drawn is that you are going to need the sine function to solve for the side opposite which is CD.
Formula
Sin(A) = Sin(68 = opposite / hypotenuse Substitute values.
Solution
sin(68) = altitude (side opposite) / 20 multiply both sides by 20
20*sin(68) = 20* altitude / 20 substitute for sin(68)
20* 0.9272 = altitude
altitude = 18.5
Answer: 18.5 to the nearest tenth
