Answer:
a=8
c=5.5
Step-by-step explanation:
solve simultaneously:
2a + 4c = 38.00
3a + 3c = 40.50
times the first eq. by 3 and the second by 2
6a + 12c = 114
6a +6c = 81
subtract from one another
6a + 12c = 114
-6a +6c = 81
6c = 33
c=5.5
3a + 3x5.5 = 40.50
3a= 24
a=8
Answer:
<h3>either way the answer is be =36 so the length of the missing side is 36 CM. </h3>
Um.. Both of those equations are the exact same. Divide both sides of the first equation by 6. You get:

That is the exact same as the second equation. This system has an infinite number of solutions. 5x - 7y = -1 is a line, so basically every point on that line is a solution to the system.
For example,

Answer:
2 over 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Common ratio =
7/ (35/2) = (14/2) / 7
Our answer became 2/5
