Answer:

x=1 and y=5

BRAINLIEST PLZZZ

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your system by elimination.

3x+y=8;−3x+6y=27

3x+y=8

−3x+6y=27

Add these equations to eliminate x:

7y=35

Then solve7y=35for y:

7y=35

(Divide both sides by 7)

y=5

Now that we've found y let's plug it back in to solve for x.

Write down an original equation:

3x+y=8

Substitute5foryin3x+y=8:

3x+5=8

3x+5+−5=8+−5(Add -5 to both sides)

3x=3

(Divide both sides by 3)

x=1

Answer:

x=1 and y=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras' theorem for the smallest one :

$c^2 = 4^2 + 6^2$

$c^2 = 16 + 36$

$c^{2}$ = 52

Pythagoras' theorem for the middle one :

$b^{2}$ = $6^{2}$ + $a^{2}$

Pythagoras' theorem for the biggest one :

$(4+a)^2 = c^2 + b^2$

$16 + 8a + a^2 = 52 + b^2$

Using the formula before (for $b^2$ ) it becomes :

$16 + 8a + a^2 = 52 + (6^2 + a^2)$

$16 + 8a + a^2 = 52 + 6^2 + a^2$

$16 + 8a = 52 + 6^2$

16 + 8a = 52 + 36

16+8a = 88

8a = 88-16

8a = 72

$a = \frac{72}{8}$

a = 9

Verifying :

$b^2 = 6^2 + a^2$

$b^2 = 36 + 81$

$b^2 = 117$

$b^{2}$ = 117

The biggest one :

$(4+a)^2 = c^2 + b^2$

$(4+9)^2 = 52 + 117$

$13^2 = 169$

Y = -3x-2 Slope intercept form

lana66690 [7]

Answer:The equation of any straight line, called a linear equation, can be written as: y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept of this line is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y axis.
