Answer:

(x, y) = (1, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

given the 2 equations

x + y = 4 → (1)

y = 3x → (2)

Substitute y = 3x into (1)

x + 3x = 4

4x = 4 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 1

Substitute x = 1 into (2) for corresponding value of y

y = 3 × 1 = 3

solution is (1, 3 )

Are is the Triangle SWT and triangle SVU similar? What would be the answer?

kondaur [170]

Answer:

A) Yes the 2 triangles are similar by SSS Similarity and SAS Similarity

Step-by-step explanation:

SSS:

ST/SU = SW/SV = WT/VU

60/70 = 48/56 = 30/35

6/7 = 6/7 = 6/7

SAS:

ST/SU = SW/SV = 6/7 (look at SSS proving)

Angle S = Angle S because they are reflexive or the same angles

huong and kathyrn each day impeoved their yards by planting rose bushes and ornamental grass. they bought their supplies from th

marta [7]

Answer:

One rose bush = $3

One bunch of ornamental grass = $4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up a system of equations to solve for this. Let cost of 1 rose bush be r and cost of 1 ornamental grass be g. Thus we can form 2 equations:

$14r+7g=70\\5r+14g=71$

We can multiply the first equation by -2 so that we can eliminate g. Thus, we have:

$(*-2)14r+7g=70\\5r+14g=71\\-------\\-28r-14g=-140\\5r+14g=71\\--------\\-23r=-69\\r=\frac{-69}{-23}=3$

Thus, 1 rose bush is $3. Now plugging in r = 3 into the first original equation, we can solve for g:

$14r+7g=70\\14(3)+7g=70\\42+7g=70\\7g=70-42\\7g=28\\g=\frac{28}{7}=4$

Thus, 1 bunch of ornamental grass is $4.
