You isolate one variable. Let's say that x will be that variable in the first equation:
x-y=1
+y +y
x=y+1
So now you have the equation for x. All you have to do is substitute it into the other:
x=y+1
(y+1)+y=3
Combine like terms and solve:
2y+1=3
-1 -1
2y=2
2y/2=2/2
y=1
Now that you have the value of one, substitute it into either of the equations to find x.
If you put it in the first:
x-1=1
+1 +1
x=2
If you put it into the other, you would get the same answer.
Therefore, y=1 and x=2
Explanation: A diagonal of a rectangle cuts the rectangle into 2 right triangles with sides equal to the sides of the rectangle and with a hypotenuse that is the diagonal. All you need to do is use the pythagorean theorem: where a and b are the sides of the rectangle and c is the length of the diagonal.

Answer:
<A = 41.4°
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall, SOH CAH TOA
Reference angle = <A
Hypotenuse length = 8
Adjacent length = 6
Since Hypotenuse and Adjacent are involved, we would apply CAH, which is:
Cos A = Adj/Hyp
Plug in the values
Cos A = 6/8
Cos A = 0.75
A = 41.4096221° ≈ 41.4° (nearest tenth)
Answer:
15,267
Step-by-step explanation:
The population is multiplied by 1+3.5% = 1.035 each year. After 7 years, it will be multiplied by 1.035^7:
12,000×1.035^7 = 15,267
The population will be 15,267 after 7 years.
