<h2>Answer:</h2>

The first step would be to multiply the bottom equation by -1 to eliminate x, then you would combine like terms, like 5y + 2y, and 16 + 10.

Answer:

Subtracting the 2 equations

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 5y = 16

3x + 2y = 10

Subtract it;

3y = 6

Divide both sides b 3;

y = 2

Substitute y;

3x + 5y = 16

3x + 5(2) = 16

3x + 10 = 16

Subtract 10 from both sides;

3x = 6

Divide both sides by 3;

x = 2

(x, y) = (2, 2)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(1x/4 + 1/7) + (3x/8 - 1/3) = x/4 + 3x/8 + 1/7 - 1/3

                                      = x*2/4*2 + 3x/8 + 1*3/7*3 - 1*7/3*7

                                      = 2x/8 + 3x/8 + 3/21 - 7/21

                                      = (2x+3x)/8 + (3-7) /21

                                      = 5x/8 + (-4)/21

                                       = 5x/8 - 4/21

Describe the possible lengths of the third side of the triangle given that the lengths of the other two sides are 2 feet and 40
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

The length of the third side is between 16 inches and 64 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of a side of a triangle is between the sum and the difference of the lengths of the other two sides.

First, we need both sides in the same units. Let's convert feet to inches.

2 ft * (12 in.)/(ft) = 24 in.

The sides measure 24 inches and 40 inches.

Now we add and subtract the two lengths.

40 in. + 24 in. = 64 in.

40 in. - 24 in. = 16 in.

The length of the third side is between 16 inches and 64 inches.
