Use elimination and subtitution method to solve the problem.
First, eliminate x and you'll find the value of y
x - 4y = 12
x - y = 0
--------------- - (substract)
-3y = 12
y = 12/-3
y = -4
Second, subtitute -4 as y and you'll find the value of x
x - y = 0
x- (-4) = 0
x + 4 = 0
x = -4
The solution
x,y = -4,-4
In the ratio, the numbers are 2 for the shortest side, 3 for the middle sized side, and 4 for the longest side.
2 is to 6 cm as 4 is to x
2/6 = 4/x
2x = 4 * 6
2x = 24
x = 12
Answer: The longest side measures 12 cm.
Answer:
It is 4
Step-by-step explanation: I know its four because 72 divided by 18 is four. I also know that 64 divided by 18 is 3.555 which is close to four.
Have you learned matrices yet? I'm going to use that to solve these, please refer to the photos.
I solved the system by using a matrix calculation. The work always needs to be shown and you do that by setting up the matrix like in the first photo and also writing out all your equations. In a TI calculator, to do this you press 2ND-X^-1,GO TO EDIT - [A] - 3×4- now enter the coefficient of the system of equations variables. NOW 2ND MODE- 2ND-X^-1 -GO TO MATH- ALPHA APPS
Now, if you don't know this you may be confuse so after rref([A]) was enter a matrix came up with [1 0 0 -21] in the top row this means x equal -21. So, the next row is y and it came out as [0 1 0 46] so y equals 46 and I'm going to let you figure out what z is by looking at the matrix.
SO... X=-21 Y=46 and Z=-10
Let's Test it
Answer:
42???
Step-by-step explanation:
sorry if wrong
hope this helps
