Find the solution of this system of equations. Separate the x- and y-values with a comma. x - 4y = 9 and x - y = -9

1 answer:

4 0

X - 4y = 9 ------- (1)
x - y = -9 ---------(2)

(2) - (1):
-y - (-4y) = -9 - 9
-y + 4y = -18
3y = -18
y = -6 . -------- sub into (2)

x - (-6) = -9
x + 6 = -9
x = -9 - 6
x = -15

Ans: x = -15, y = -6

Quadrilateral LMNO is similar to quadrilateral PQRS. Find the measure of side QR.

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

The measure of the side $QR$ is 8.8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since $LMNO \sim PQRS$ , then $SP \propto OL$ , $RS \propto ON$ , $RQ \propto MN$ and $QP \propto LM$ . From figure we have the following relationship:

$k = \frac{OL}{SP} = \frac{ON}{RS} = \frac{MN}{QR} = \frac{ML}{QP}$ (1)

Where $k$ is the proportionality ratio.

If we know that $SP = 13, OL = 55, MN = 37$ , then the measure of side $QR$ is:

$k = \frac{OL}{SP}$ (1b)

$k = \frac{55}{13}$

$k = \frac{MN}{QR}$

$QR = \frac{MN}{k}$ (1c)

$QR = \frac{37}{\frac{55}{13} }$

$QR = 8.745$

The measure of the side $QR$ is 8.8.

The cost for n teachers to attend the technology conference is 3n+5 dollars. What is the cost for 7 teachers to attend

Veronika [31]

If it costs 3n+5, you have to plug 7 in for n and solve. 3(7)+5=26 so $26

the sides of a triangle have lengths s,s+4,and 3s, write a expression that represents the perimeter of the triangle

PSYCHO15rus [73]

The perimeter of a shape is the distance around it, or all of the lengths of its sides added together. So the perimeter can be represented by s + (s + 4) + 3s.
