Solve:(1/7)x +(1/6)y =3 ; (1/2)x - (1/3)y =5​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Svetach [21]3 years ago

Answer:

(14, 6 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{1}{7} x + \frac{1}{6} y = 3 ( multiply through by 42 to clear the fractions )

6x + 7y = 126 → (1)

\frac{1}{2} x - \frac{1}{3} y = 5 ( multiply through by 6 to clear the fractions )

3x - 2y = 30 → (2)

Multiplying (2) by - 2 and adding to (1) will eliminate the x- term

- 6x + 4y = - 60 → (3)

Add (1) and (3)term by term to eliminate x

11y = 66 ( divide both sides by 11 )

y = 6

Substitute y = 6 into either of the 2 equations and evaluate for x

Substituting into (1)

6x + 7(6) = 126

6x + 42 = 126 ( subtract 42 from both sides )

6x = 84 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 14

Solution is (14, 6 )

Theorem: A line parallel to one side of a triangle divides the other two proportionately.
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Segment BF = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The given theorem states that a line parallel to one side of a triangle divides the other two sides proportionately

The given theorem is the Triangle Proportionality Theorem

According to the theorem, given that segment DE is parallel to segment BC, we have;

\dfrac{AD}{BD} = \dfrac{AE}{EC}

Therefore;

BD = \dfrac{AD}{\left(\dfrac{AE}{EC} \right) }  = AD \times \dfrac{EC}{AE}

Which gives;

BD = 6 \times \dfrac{18}{12}= 9

Similarly, given that EF is parallel to AB, we get;

\dfrac{AE}{EC} = \dfrac{BF}{FC}

Therefore;

BF = FC \times \dfrac{AE}{EC}

Which gives;

BF = 24 \times \dfrac{12}{18} = 16

Therefore, the statement that can be proved using the given theorem is segment BF = 16.
