Answer:

x= 5/4 ; y= -7/4

Step-by-step explanation:

I will solve your system by substitution.

(You can also solve this system by elimination.)

3x+y=2;5x−y=8

Step: Solve3x+y=2for y:

3x+y+−3x=2+−3x(Add -3x to both sides)

y=−3x+2

Step: Substitute−3x+2foryin5x−y=8:

5x−y=8

5x−(−3x+2)=8

8x−2=8(Simplify both sides of the equation)

8x−2+2=8+2(Add 2 to both sides)

8x=10

8x

=

(Divide both sides by 8)

x=

Step: Substitute

(Simplify both sides of the equation)

Answer:

An 18 foot tall pole casts a shadow that is 28.8 feet long. At the same time a woman casts a shadow that is 8.8 feet long how ta
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

5.5 ft tall  

Step-by-step explanation:

The shadows cast by the pole and by the woman form <em>similar triangles</em>.

In similar triangles, corresponding sides are in the same proportion.

Thus,

18/28.8 = x/8.8

Multiply each side of the equation by 8.8

x = 8.8 × 18/28.8 = 5.5 ft

The woman is 5.5 ft tall.

Solve 10y4+6y2-12y3-5y4
Olin [163]

Answer:

(5y² - 12y + 6) y²

Step-by-step explanation:

i'm going to assume that you mean to simplify the expression:

10y⁴+6y²-12y³-5y⁴   (group like terms)

= (10y⁴- 5y⁴) - 12y³ + 6y²

= 5y⁴ - 12y³ + 6y²   (factor out y²)

= (5y² - 12y + 6) y²
