Answer:
(x, y) = (3, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract double the second equation from the first.
(2x +3y) -2(x +y) = (15) -2(6)
y = 3 . . . . . . . . simplify
Use the second equation to find x.
x = 6 -y = 6 -3 = 3
The values of x and y are both 3.
3x + 1y = ¹/₃ ⇒ 9x + 3y = 1
2x - 3y = 2²/₃ ⇒ 2x - 3y = 2²/₃
11x = 3²/₃
11 11
x = ¹/₃
3x + y = ¹/₃
3(¹/₃) + y = ¹/₃
1 + y = ¹/₃
- 1 - 1
y = ⁻²/₃
(x, y) = (¹/₃, ⁻²/₃)
let the height be x then
base of island = x/2
area of island = 1/2* x/2* x = x2 / 4 = 576m
