We label each equation

3x + 4y = 5 (1)

2x – 3y = 9 (2)

We now want to get rid of one of the variables (x or y). Lets get rid of x:

We need (1) and (2) to have the same number of x's so we multiple (1) by 2 and (2) by 3 so they both have 6 x's

6x + 8y = 10 (1)*2

6x - 9y = 27 (2)*3

Now to get rid of the x's we take one of the equations from the other. It is easier to do (2)*3 -(1)*2

 6x - 9y = 27 (2)*3

6x + 8y = 10 (1)*2

                                   

    -17y = 17  

If we devide this equation by -17 we get

y = -1

We can plug this value of y into (1) to get

3x -4 = 5

add 4 to both sides of the equation

3x = 9

Divide by 3

x = 3

Now to check put x and y into (2)

6 - (-3) = 9  

As this is true, we have the solution

x = 3, y = -1

Answer:

L

Step-by-step explanation:

interior angle formula so

(number of sides - 2)*180

2*180 = 360

you can also just take an example from a square 4*90 = 360

360-121-58-70 = 111

Can someone plsss help me with the circled question tysm if u doo :((
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

4×sqrt(5) inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean theorem states that (for right triangles) if you square each shorter side and add those together, you will get the sum of the longest side (hypotenuse) squared.

This is commonly written as:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where c is the hypotenuse.

((For right triangles this will always be opposite the 90° angle.))

Since you know one of the shorter sides and the hypotenuse, rewrite the equation as such:

c^2 - b^2 = a^2, where a is the unknown length

This goes to:

sqrt(c^2 - b^2) = a

sqrt((12in)^2 - (8in)^2) = a

sqrt(144sqin - 64sqin) = sqrt(80sqin) = a

This simplifies to:

sqrt(16sqin)×sqrt(5sqin) = 4in×sqrt(5sqin) = a
