Look at the picture.

We have the equation (1) 12x + 4y = 40.

We know, the sum of the acute angles in a right triangle is 90°.

Therefore we have the equation (2) (12x + 4y) + (17x - y) = 90

Substitute (1) to (2):

40 + 17x - y = 90        <em>subtract 40 from both sides</em>

17x - y = 50   (3)

We have the system of equations:

\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}12x + 4y = 40&|:4\\17x-y=50\end{array}\right\\\underline{+\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}3x + y = 10\\17x-y=50\end{array}\right}\ \text{add both side of equations}\\.\qquad20x=60\qquad|:20\\.\qquad x=3

Substitute the value of x to (3)

17(3)-y=50\\51-y=50\qquad|-51\\-y=-1\to y=1

Answer: x = 3 and y = 1.

Please help<br><br> -3/4(8n + 12) = 3(n-3)
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

-  \frac{3}{4} (8n + 12) = 3(n - 3)

- 3(8n + 12) = 12(n - 3)

\cancel{- 3}(8n + 12) =  \cancel{12}(n - 3)

- (8n + 12) = 4(n - 3)

- 8n - 12 = 4n - 12

- 8n - 4n =  - 12 + 12

- 12n = 0

n = 0
