Answer:
(x,y)=(2,-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
6x+2y=6
7x+3y=5
Multiply both sides by 3
18x+6y=18
7x+3y=5
Multiply both sides by -2
18x+6y=18
-14x-6y=-10
Eliminate one variable by adding the equations
4x=8
x=2
Substitute the value of x to get y
6(2)+2y=6
y=-3
x=2
y=-3
Answer:
1 1/8 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
As the sails are similar, corresponding sides are in the same ratio, so we have the equation
:24/3 = 9/b where b = base of the souvenir boat.
Cross multiply:
24b = 9*3
b = 27/24
= 1 1/8 inches.
