Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Sub y=x-1 into 2x+y=8.

You will get 2x+x-1=8.

Simplify 3x-1=8

Solve 3x=9

x=3

Dominic is stacking legos to make a tower. He takes a break when the tower is 4 1/2 feet tall, which is 3/8 of the height of the

Lynna [10]

Answer:

Tower is 9 ft tall when it is finished.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Height of the tower when Dominic takes a break = $4\frac{1}{2}$ feet

The height of the tower as built by Dominic = $\frac{3}8$ of the total height

Let the total height of the tower to be built = $x$ feet

Let us have a look at the method to convert mixed fraction to a fractional number.

$a\dfrac{b}{c} = \dfrac{a\times c +b}c\\\Rightarrow 4\dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{4\times 2 +1}{2}=\dfrac{9}2$

As per question statement, $\frac{3}8$ of the total height is equal to $4\frac{1}{2}$ feet.

We can write the equation as:

$\dfrac{3}{8}x = \dfrac{9}{2}\\\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{9}{2}\times \dfrac{8}{3}\\\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{72}{6}\\\Rightarrow x = \bold{9\ ft}$

Therefore, tower is <em>9 ft</em> tall when it is finished.

A ray of light is reflected off a mirror such that the reflected ray is perpendicular to the original ray, as shown in the diagr

Paladinen [302]

The equation of the reflected ray is y+x = 6. Since based on the equation of the original ray is y-x=4 and the equation of the normal line y=5, the point where the normal line, the original ray and the reflected ray intersect is at point (1,5). By definition, substituting the normal line (y=5) and the point (1,5) to the given equations, y+x=6 satisfies the equality and therefore is the equation of the reflected ray
