Elimination to solve the system of equation x-y=5 and x+y=3

1 answer:

3 0

X = 4 , y = -1
Explanation:
solve by elimination ie eliminate x or y from the equations by performing operations on them.
first label the equations , to follow the process.
x - y = 5 ----------------(1)
x+ y = 3 ----------------(2)
If (1) and (2) are added then y will be eliminated.
(1) + (2) gives : 2x = 8 → x = 4
now substitute this value of x into either of the 2 equations and solve for y.
let x = 4 in (1) : 4 - y = 5 → -y = 1 → y = -1
check in (1) : 4-(-1) = 4+1 = 5
check in(2) : 4 - 1 = 3

Answer:

V = 115.3 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

The left part of the figure shows a cube of side length 4.2 ft. The volume of a cube is V = s³, where s is the side length. Hence, the volume of this particular cube is V = (4.2 ft)³ = 74.088.

The volume of a pyramid is V = (1/3)(base area)(height).

Here V = (1/3)(4.2 ft)²(7 ft) = 41.16 ft³.

Summing up the two distinct areas, we get V = 41.16 ft³ + 74.088 ft³, or

V = 115.3 ft³ after rounding up to the nearest tenth.
