Answer:
21 + 14x - 56 - 42x + 168
= 133 - 28x
Step-by-step explanation:
Vertical angles are equal
4x = 45 + 15
4x = 60
x = 60/4
x = 15
If this is for a better deal if you made the prices the same so instead of 5 for six itd be 50 for $60 and 8 for $10 would be 48 for $60 obviously 5 for 6 is the best choice. thats just how i was taught i hoped this helps
Sorry I am a little late...
a = -2
b = -9
Here is how to solve the problem.
First thing I did was multiply the first equation by -2 so that we can eliminate the the b. After you multiply it by -2, your new equation is -16a + 8b = -40.
You leave the second equation alone and all you do is combine like terms. So -16a+5a is -11. And you eliminate the b. Then you're going to do -40+62 which is 22. So it's -11a=22 and then you have to solve for a. What I did was I multiplied the whole thing by minus to turn the a positive. So then it's 11a=-22. Pretty easy, the final step is to simplify. -22/11 is -2. ;D
So there you have your first answer.
a = -2
Now we're going to use the first answer to help us find b.
For the second equation, all you're going to do is plug in that a.
5 (-2)-8b=62
-10 - 8b = 62
Now we move the -10 to the other side...
-8b = 62 + 10
-8b = 72
Multiply the whole thing by negative once again to turn the b positive.
Now we have 8b = -72
The final step is to simplify. -72/11 = -9
b = -9
Hope this makes sense! Also I had the same question on my test and I got it right. :)
Answer:
12.6 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
(other leg)² = (15)² - (8)²
(other leg)² = 225 - 64
other leg = √161 ≈ 12.6 cm
