The solution is (1,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

7x + 10y = 27

x - 10y = -19 +--------------------

8x = 8

Divide by 8 on both sides

x = 1

To find y substitute any of the equations to 1

7(1) + 10y = 27

7 + 10y = 27

Substract 7 from both sides

10y = 20

Divide by 10

y = 2

In a football drill, Ron is standing 30 yards directly east of John, and Bill is standing 40 yards directly north of John. If th

So essentially these people have made a right triangle. The hypotenuse is going to be the distance from Bill to Ron.

Let's abbreviate B for Bill, J for John, and R for Ron.

J -> R = 30 yds
J -> B = 40 yds

These two lengths are the legs of the right triangle.

B -> R = hypotenuse of the right triangle.

Let's find the distance from B to R using the Pythagorean Theorem:

$30^{2} + 40^{2} = c^{2}$
$900+1,600= c^{2}$
$2,500= c^{2}$
$\sqrt{2500} = \sqrt{c^{2} }$
$c=50$

We now know that the hypotenuse is 50 yds.

The question wants to know the distance from R -> B (50 yds) and B -> J (40 yds). Let's add those together to get the total distance the football traveled:

$50+40=90 yds$

The football traveled 90 yds total.
