Solve the system using elimination. -9x - 4y = 1 3x + 3y = 3 ([?], [])

Mathematics

irakobra [83]3 years ago
7 0

Step-by-step explanation:

-9x-4y=1....eq1

3x+3y=3.....eq2

multiply eq2 by 3

to get

9x+9y=9....eq3

add eq1 and 3

0+5y=10

5y=10

divide both sides by 5

y=2

substitute y=2 in to eq1

-9x-4(2)=1

-9x-8=1

grouping of like terms

-9x=1+8

-9x=9

divide both sides by -9

x= -1

now the answer is

x= -1, y=2

julia-pushkina [17]
Well to get the area of 288 the dimensions would be a couple of things but 16 ft by 18 ft seems to work, so the dimensions increase by 4 ft on each side.

12+4=16
14+4=18

18*16=288

Please help :( Calculate each mountain path grade to the nearest percent.
wariber [46]
The grade of the path in the mountain is calculated by determining first the ratio between the rise over the run and multiplying the ratio by 100%. 

For Path A: 

                 grade = (rise / run) x 100%
                 grade = (1414/ 3535) x 100% = 40%

<em>Answer: 40%</em>

For Path B:
              grade = (rise / run) x 100%
              grade = (4.26 m/ 22 m) x 100% = 19.36%

Answer: 19.36%
