The smallest possible number could have been 455,500
Hello,
2x+y=1
3x-y=-6
==>5x=-5
==>x=-1 and y=1-2*(-1)=3
Sol={(-1,3)}
Answer A
We know that an isosceles triangle has 2 equal sides.
We can represent the equal sides with x, and the base with y:
2x + y = 15.6
Given states that y = x - 3, so:
2x + x - 3 = 15.6
3x = 18.6
x = 6.2
y = 3.2
The sides are 6.2 m, and the base is 3.2 m.
Y-10=2x -16
2x-y = -16+10
2x - y = - 6 ( ax + by = c )
