Answer:
X= 1/2 Y= 5
Step-by-step explanation:
8x+7y=39-------------(1)--------×2
4x-14y= -68-----------(2)-------×1
16X + 14Y = 78--------(3)
4X- 14Y = -68----------(4)
Addy equation (4) and (3)
20X = 10
dividing bothsides by 20
20X/20= 10/20
X = 1/2
substitute the value of X into equation (1)
8X+7Y = 39
8(1/2)+7Y= 39
4+7Y = 39
7Y = 39-4
7Y = 35
dividing bothsides 7
7Y= 35/7
Y = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
-3x + 11x - 1 + 7x2 - 4x + 4
Solving like terms
7x2 + 4x + 3
Answer:
17 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
A right angle has 3 sides: the adjacent, the opposite and the hypotenuse.
The hypotenuse is the largest side of the right angle
The shorter sides are 15 feet and 8 feet which should represent opposite and adjacent sides respectively
Opposite = 15 feet
Adjacent = 8 feet
Hypotenuse = x feet
Using Pythagoras theorem to solve
Hypotenuse ² = opposite ² + adjacent ²
x² = 15² + 8²
x² = 225 + 64
x² = 289
Find the square root of both sides
√x² = √289
x = 17 feet
The 3rd side is 17 feet
3(-1) + 5y = 17
add 3 to both sides
5y=20
divide by 5
y=4
