Answer:

x = -2

x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

The linear system is:

8x - 4y = 20 ⇒ (1)

5x - 8y = 62 ⇒ (2)

To solve the system multiply equation (1) by -2 to make the coefficients of y equal in values and different in signs, then add the resulting equation with equation (2)

∵ -2(8x) + -2(-4y) = -2(20)

∴ -16x + 8y = -40 ⇒ (3)

- Add equation (2) and (3)

∴ -11x = 22

- Divide both sides by -11

∴ x = -2

Substitute the value of x in equation (1) or (2)

∵ 8(-2) - 4y = 20

∴ -16 - 4y = 20

- Add 16 to both sides

∴ - 4y = 36

- Divide both sides by -4

∴ y = -9

After graduation, I got a job with a commerce firm selling various products.

In the United States, our currency is the American dollar.

Looking at Egyptian hieroglyphics, it is amazing to think that people could record their thoughts such a long time ago.

Ancient Egyptians used papyrus to make things such as baskets or sandals.

It can be quite costly to export goods internationally.

Parchment was an old type of paper, that was much thicker than modern paper today.

Which of these cannot represent the lengths of the sides of a right triangle?
Sholpan [36]
<h3>Answer: Choice D. 8m, 9m, 10m</h3>

==================================

Explanation:

If a = 8 and b = 9 are the two legs of a triangle and c = 10 is the hypotenuse, then

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

8^2 + 9^2 = 10^2

64 + 81 = 100

145 = 100

We get a false equation as 145 and 100 are two different values. So the original equation is false when (a,b,c) = (8,9,10)

By the converse of the pythagorean theorem, we have proven that this particular triangle is not a right triangle

-------------

Contrast this with something like choice A where we have a = 3, b = 4, c = 5 leading to

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2

9 + 16 = 25

25 = 25

we get a true equation so a triangle with sides 3,4,5 is a right triangle. Choices B and C follow a similar path.
