Algebra always makes things sound harder than they actually are, and weird vocabulary can mix up the steps we knew so well.
Part 1: Multiply the first equation by a 2 so that you can cancel out the y variable.
6x - 2y = 0
5x + 2y = 22
Part 2: Actually cancel out the y variables, and combine like terms.
11x = 22
Part 3: Solve for "x" by dividing both sides by 11
x = 2
Part 4: Substitute the variable "x" with the value we just solved for in the original equation.
3(2) - y = 0
6 - y = 0
Then, solve for y by adding y to both sides
6=y
Solution Set = {2,6}
Well the opposite of addition is subtraction
to find n move 27 to the other side which makes it negative
15+ (-27) =-12
Answer:
112

Answer:
14.24 foot far is the mirror from the base of the statue.
Step-by-step explanation:
Proportion states that the two ratios or fractions are equal.
As per the statement:
See the diagram as shown below:
Height of a boy = 5.9 foot tall
Height of a statue = 12 foot.
Distance of a boy from the mirror = 7 feet.
Let x be the distance of the mirror from the base of the statue.
then by definition of proportion we have;

Substitute the given values we have;

By cross multiply we have;

Divide both sides by 5.9 we have;
x = 14.24 ft
Therefore, 14.24 foot far is the mirror from the base of the statue.
