2x - y = -24
x + 7y = 3

Solve one equation for a variable and plug the resulting value into the second equation.

x + 7y = 3           Subtract 7y from both sides
       x = -7y + 3

Now, plug that x-value into the x of the first equation.

            2x - y = -24   Plug in the x-value
2(-7y + 3) - y = 24     Use the Distributive Property
  -14y + 6 - y = -24     Combine like terms (-14y and -y)
       -15y + 6 = -24     Subtract 6 from both sides
             -15y = -30     Divide both sides by 15
                  y = 2

Next, plug the y-value back into the second equation.

  x + 7y = 3      Plug in the y-value
x + 7(2) = 3     Multiply
   x + 14 = 3     Subtract 14 from both sides
          x = -11

y = 2 and x = -11

Answer:

The slope is 300

Step-by-step explanation:

Rise over run we see two points how many times do we rise and run to get there?

(Slope= rise/run)

So you rise 300 times (Since half of 600 is 300) then you run 1 time which is 300/1 which is 300

Jada is standing 10 feet away from the base of the tree and spots a nest sitting on a branch. The angle of elevation from the gr
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

14.3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the tree = x feet.

It is given that the horizontal distance from the base of tree = 10 feet and the angle of elevation to the nest is 55°.

So, we get the following figure.

As, we are obtaining a right angled triangle.

Using the trigonometric form for the angles of a right angled triangle, we get,

\tan x=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}

i.e. \tan 55=\frac{x}{10}

i.e. x=10\times \tan 55

i.e. x=10\times 1.43

i.e. x=14.3

Hence, the height of the tree is 14.3 feet.

what is the sum of two numbers is "-7." Two times the first number equals 4 the second number. Find the two numbers.
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

\sf \text{The numbers are $\dfrac{-14}{3} $ and $\dfrac{-7}{3}$}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x , y

Sum of two numers = -7

x + y = -7------------(I)

Two times the first number equals 4 the second number.

2x = 4y  ----------(II)

Divide both sides by 2

       \sf \dfrac{2x}{2}=\dfrac{4y}{2}

        x = 2y

Subtitute x = 2y in equation (I)

2y + y = -7

      3y = -7

       y = -7/3

Plugin y = -7/3 in equation (II)

\sf 2x = 4*\dfrac{-7}{3}\\\\2x = \dfrac{-28}{3}\\\\x =\dfrac{-28}{3*2}\\\\x = \dfrac{-14}{3}
