<h3>Answer: y = 10</h3>

=====================================

Work Shown:

EI = EG

3y-10 = 2y

3y-10-2y = 0

y-10 = 0

y = 0+10

y = 10

Note how if y = 10, then

EI = 3y-10 = 3*10-10 = 20
EG = 2y = 2*10 = 20

Both EI and EG are 20 units long when y = 10. This confirms the answer.

4x+3y=20<br> 2x+y=7<br> How do I solve this? I forgot how to do it :/ also no answer choice

Crank

So for this, I will be using the substitution method. Firstly, subtract both sides in the second equation by 2x: $4x+3y=20\\ y=7-2x$

Next, substitute y in the first equation with 7-2x, then solve for x from there:

$4x+3(7-2x)=20\\ 4x+21-6x=20\\ -2x+21=20\\ -2x=-1\\ x=\frac{1}{2}$

Now that we got x, substitute it into either equation to solve for y:

$4*\frac{1}{2}+3y=20\\ 2+3y=20\\ 3y=18\\ y=6\\ \\ 2*\frac{1}{2}+y=7\\ 1+y=7\\ y=6$

In short, x = 1/2 and y = 6.

Find the length of UW(with a line over it) if W is between U and V, UV = 16.8 centimeters, and VW = 7.9 centimeters.

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

8.9 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We have
$\overline {UV} = 16.8 cm\\\\\overline {WV} = 7.9 cm\\\\ Since all lines are scalars, \overline{WV} = \overline{VW}\\\textrm{We see that \overline{UW} + \overline{WV} = \overline{UV}\\\\\overline {UW} \\ = \overline {UV} - \overline {WV} = 16.9 - 7.9 = 8.9 cm}$
