Answer:

x = -3

y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 2y = 13    ------------(I)

    x  = 13 - 2y -----------(II)

-2x - 3y = -18 ----------(III)

Substitute x = 13 - 2y in equation (III)

   -2*(13 - 2y)  - 3y = -18

-2*13 - 2y *(-2) -3y = -18

  -26  + 4y  - 3y    = -18             {Combine like terms}

               -26 + y =  -18     {Add 26 to both sides}

                         y = -18 + 26

                         y = 8

Substitute y = 8 in equation (II)

x = 13 - 2*8

  = 13 - 16

x = -3

x = -3

y = 8

Find the value of the variable(s). If your answer is not an integer, leave it in simplest radical form.
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

Use the fact that sin(x) = opp/hyp and tan(x) = opp/adj

where opp=opposite, hyp=hypotenuse, adj=adjacent and recall sin(30)=1/2 and tan(30) = 1/sqrt(3)

sin(30) = 1/2 = 17/y

y = 17(2) = 34

tan(30) = 1/sqrt(3) = 17/x  

x = 17sqrt(3)

So the answer is (d)

Note that you could have also use the Pythagorean theorem to find x instead of using tan(30).

The change in x from A to B is positive. The line is going up, so the slope cannot be negative
