Can anyone please help me with this? i need a step by step explanation please! very appreciated:)
EastWind [94]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x and y are variables. That means they represent numbers that are unknown. When we solve for x or y, we are trying to find what number the variable represents.

Y is a number that equals both 5x-9 and 3x+7. If it is a number, it can only have one value, so we can say that 5x-9 and 3x+7 have the same value.

In other words, 5x-9 = 3x+7.

Another way of thinking about this step is substitution. y=3x+7, so in the equation y=5x-9, we can replace the y with 3x+7. It will give 3x+7 = 5x-9.

In either case, we have this new equation

5x-9 = 3x+7.

From here it's just simple algebra- subtract 3x from each side

2x -9 = 7

and add 9 to each side

2x = 16

and divide each side by 2.

x = 8.

All these steps work because if two things equal each other, when you do the same thing to both of them (such as add 9), the new values will still equal each other.

Now that we know that x = 8, we can take one of the original equations

y=5x-9

and put 8 in for x.

y=5*(8) -9.

If x represents the value 8, we can obviously switch out x for 8.

Now simplify

y=40 -9

y = 31

Now we know that x = 8 and y = 31.

If the length of the minor axis of an ellipse is 6 units and the length of the major axis is 10 units, how far from the center a
Sedbober [7]

The distance from the center to where the foci are located exists 8 units.

<h3>How to determine the distance from the center?</h3>

The formula associated with the focus of an ellipse exists given as;

c² = a² − b²

Where c exists the distance from the focus to the center.

a exists the distance from the center to a vertex,

the major axis exists 10 units.

b exists the distance from the center to a co-vertex, the minor axis exists 6 units

c² = a² − b²

c² = 10² - 6²

c² = 100 - 36

c² = 64

c = \sqrt{64}

c = 8

Therefore, the distance from the center to where the foci are located exists 8 units.
