Equation 1)  x = 3y - 8
Equation 2)  3x - 4y = -9

For equation 1, subtract 3y from both sides.

1)  x - 3y = -8

Then, multiply ALL of equation 1 by 3.

1)  3(x - 3y = -8)

1)  3x - 9y = -24
2)  3x - 4y = -9

Subtract equations from one another.

-5y = -15

Divide both sides by -5.

y = 3

Plug in 3 for y in the second equation.

3x - 4y = -9

3x - 4(3) = -9

Simplify.

3x - 12 = -9

Add 12 to both sides.

3x = -9 + 12

Simplify.

3x = 3

x = 1

<span>x=3y-8
3x-4y=-9

We are told that:
</span>x=3y-8

So replace x in 3x-4y=-9 with x=3y-8 like so: 
3(3y-8)-4y=-9 

Start by distributing the 3: 
(3)(3y)+(3)(-8)+-4y=-9
Now you have: 
9y+-24+-4y=-9&#10;
Combine like terms, now you have: 
5y-24=-9&#10;
add 24 to both sides 
5y-24+24=-9+24&#10;
Now you have:
5y=15
Divide both sides by 5 to get: 
y=3 

Now that you know y=3 plug it into: 
x=3y-8
x=3(3)-8
x=1 

Final answer: 
(1,3)

The diagram represents a reduction of a triangle by using a scale factor of 0.8.
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

4.8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>See comment for complete question</em>

Represent the larger triangle with 1 and the smaller with 2.

So, we have:

H_1 =6\ in -- height of 1

Required

Determine H2 --- Height of 2

To do this we apply dilation formula.

Original * Scale\ Factor = New

In this case:

H_1 * Scale\ Factor = H_2

Substitute 6 for H1 and 0.8 for Scale Factor

6* 0.8 = H_2

4.8= H_2

Hence, the height of the smaller triangle is 4.8 inches
