Mr. Brady is using a coordinate plane to design a treasure hunt for his students. The hunt begins at the flagpole. The first clu

e is hidden 5 units north of the flagpole. The second clue is located 6 units east of the flagpole. Clue 2 says that Clue 3 is located 5 units south of the flagpole. N -4 -2 o N 4 6 X -2 -4 Plot the locations of the flagpole and the 3 clues on the coordinate grid and show the path students will follow with straight lines. Each unit represents 50 feet. What is the shortest combined distance along the path from the flagpole to Clue 1 to Clue 2 to Clue 3? Round to the nearest foot if necessary. ​

Answer:

The figure is attached and the total distance is 1031 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph is indicated in the attached figure.

For calculation of distance consider following

Point Flagpole is (0,0)

Point Clue1 is (0,5)

Point Clue2 is (6,0)

Point Clue3 is (0,-5)

So the distance is calculated as follows

d_{T}=[d_{FP\ to\ Clue1}+d_{Clue1\ to\ Clue2}+d_{Clue2\ to\ Clue3}]*distance\ per\ unit\\d_{T}=[\sqrt{(Clue1_x-FP_x)^2+(Clue1_y-FP_y)^2}+\sqrt{(Clue2_x-Clue1_x)^2+(Clue2_y-Clue1_y)^2}+\sqrt{(Clue3_x-Clue2_x)^2+(Clue3_y-Clue2_y)^2}]**distance\ per\ unit\\Substituting the values

d_{T}=[\sqrt{(0-0)^2+(5-0)^2}+\sqrt{(6-0)^2+(0-5)^2}+\sqrt{(0-6)^2+(-5-0)^2}]*50 \text{ feet}\\d_{T}=[\sqrt{(0)^2+(5)^2}+\sqrt{(6)^2+(-5)^2}+\sqrt{(-6)^2+(-5)^2}]*50 \text{ feet}\\d_{T}=[\sqrt{0+25}+\sqrt{36+25}+\sqrt{36+25}]*50 \text{ feet}\\d_{T}=[\sqrt{25}+\sqrt{61}+\sqrt{61}]*50 \text{ feet}\\d_{T}=[5+7.81+7.81]*50 \text{ feet}\\d_{T}=[20.62]*50 \text{ feet}\\d_{T}=1031 \text{ feet}\\

So the total distance travelled is 1031 feet.

What is the solution of the following system
AleksAgata [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

8x + 14y = 4 ...1

-6x - 7y = -10 ...2

...2 × 2 in 2 sides of the equation

-12x -14y = -20 ...3

...1 + ...3

8x + 14y +(-12x -14y) = 4 +(-20)

8x + 14y - 12x -14y = 4 - 20

-4x = -16

x = (-16)/(-4)

= 4

replace x in ...1 or ...2 you will reserve y value

and answer in the term of (x,y)

X+6y=27<br> 7x-3y=9 por metodo de igualacion
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

(3,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of equations is:

x+6y=27

7x-3y=9.

I looked up "metodo de igualacion". It is basically American for doing substitution.

However, the only difference is you are asked to solve both equations for a variable.

The first equation looks easy to solve for x. So I'm going to solve both equations for x.

x+6y=27

Subtract 6y on both sides:

x     =-6y+27

7x-3y=9

Add 3y on both sides:

7x    =3y+9

Divide both sides by 7:

x     =3/7 y +9/7

So both equations are solved for x.  You want to find when the x's are the same because you are looking for a common amongst the lines given.

So we have

-6y+27=3/7 y  +9/7

I hate the fractions honestly so I'm going to multiply both sides by 7 so they will no longer be for now:

-42y+189=3y + 9

Now add 42y on both sides:

         189=45y+9

Subtract 9 on both sides:

        180=45y

Divide both sides by 45:

            4=y

If 4=y, then y=4.

So now once we have obtain 4 for y, we will use one of the equations given along with it to find x. Just choose one. Choose the easier looking one to you.

I like the x=-6y+27 with y=4.

So replace y with giving you:

x=-6(4)+27

x=-24+27

x=3

So the solution is (x,y)=(3,4).

x=3 and y=4.
