2x+y=9 (*2) __ 4x+2y=18 name it 1.  8x-2y=6 name it 2. Now add both equations, 1 & 2. 4x+2y+8x+-2y=18+6. 2y will be cancelled out. You'll be left with 12x=24, x=2. Then replace the value of x which is 2 in either equation 1 or 2. I'll go with 1 equation 4(2)+2y=18  2y=18-8=10 y=5. Using the equation 2 should provide the same result of y.

Weighted mean average = ---------------------------
                                              number of brands


value = mean price of computers from Store #1 * number of brands from store #1 + mean price of computers from store #2 * number of brands from store #2

value =  $799.99 * 2 +  $679.99 * 4 = $4,319.94

number of brands = 2 + 4 = 6

weighted average = $4,319.94 / 6 = $ 719.99

solniwko [45]

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(8sqrt(3))^2 + b^2 = 16^2

64 * 3 + b^2 = 256

192 + b^2 = 256

b^2 = 64

b = 8

The ratio of the lengths of the sides of this triangle is

8 : 8sqrt(3) : 16

which reduces to

1 : sqrt(3) : 2

This is the ratio of the lengths of the sides of a 30-60-90 triangle.
