Solve for x for x: x+2y=2
x+2y +-2y=2+-2y (add -2y on both sides.)
x=-2y+2
Substitute : -2y+2 for x in
4x-y=4:
4(-2y+2)-y=4
-9y+8=4 Simplify both sides of the equation.
-9y+8+-8=4+-8 Add -8 to both sides.
-9y=-4
-9/-9=-4-9 Divide both sides by -9
y=4/9
Substitute 4/9 for y in
x=-2y+2
x=-2(4/9)+2
x=10/9
y=4/9,x=10/9
Answer:
9.233 ft, 23.233 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
If the shorter leg is x, then the longer leg is x+14 and the Pythagorean theorem tells you ...
x^2 + (x +14)^2 = 25^2
2x^2 +28x +196 = 625
x^2 +14x = 214.5
x^2 +14x +49 = 263.5
(x +7)^2 = 263.5
x = -7 +√263.5 ≈ 9.23268
The two leg lengths are √263.5 ± 7 feet, {9.23 ft, 23.23 ft}.
