1] y - 3x = -8
[2] y + 9x = 4
-3x + y = -8 9x + y = 4
Solve equation [2] for the variable y
[2] y = -9x + 4
// Plug this in for variable y in equation [1]
[1] (-9x+4) - 3x = -8
[1] - 12x = -12
// Solve equation [1] for the variable x
[1] 12x = 12
[1] x = 1
// By now we know this much :
y = -9x+4
x = 1
// Use the x value to solve for y
y = -9(1)+4 = -5
{y,x} = {-5,1}
Since the problem is not telling us the height of Silvio, we are going to assume it is not relevant for our calculations.
Let

the altitude of the incoming plane. We know for our problem that the distance between Silvio and the tower is 3 miles, Also we know that the angle of elevation to the plane is 40°. With this information we can create a triangle as shown in the figure. We need a function that relates the angle of elevation with its opposite and adjacent sides, that function is tangent.




We can conclude that we should use the trig function tangent to model this situation; also, we can conclude that the equation that describes this situation is

.
Answer: -100 + x = 40
Step-by-step explanation: We know she starts at -100 feet, she is increasing in elevation, so we want to add a positive x to her initial value of -100. If we keeping adding that x, it will soon result in a positive value of 40.
6 more than means add 6. The product of 2 and N means multiply the two together.
C) 2N + 6 is the answer.
Hope this helps! :)
X-2 y-1i think tell me if im wrong
