The ratio of length to width is 9:11 is to 9 as x is to 40.41/9 = x/40.4 x = 40.4/9 = 4.48888.. meters
Each person should get 4 4/5. That will be between the numbers 4 and 5.
Answer:
<em>(8.21, -20.79)</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the simultaneous equation;
From 2;
a = 29 + b ....3
Substitute 3 into 1;
Factorize
b = -18±√18²-4(-58)/2
b = -18±√324+232/2
b = -18±√556/2
b = -18±23.58/2
b = -18-23.58/2 and -18+23.58/2
b = -41.58/2 and 5.58/2
b = -20.79 and 2.79
Since a = 29 + b
when b = -20.79
a = 29 - 20.79
a = 8.21
<em>Hence the solution to the system of equation is (8.21, -20.79)</em>

Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve the given system of equations.
<u>Given system</u>
x +3y= 10 ----(1)
-2x -2y= 4 ----(2)
From (2):
-2(x +y)= 4
Dividing both sides by -2:
x +y= -2 ----(2)
Thus, options 3 and 4 are incorrect as x +y≠ -2.
(1) -(2):
(x +3y) -(x +y)= 10 -(-2)
Expand:
x +3y -x -y= 10 +2
2y= 12
Divide both sides by 2:
y= 12 ÷2
y= 6
Substitute y= 6 into (2):
x +6= -2
x= -6 -2
x= -8
Options (1) and (2) differs only by the value of the expression of -x +y. Thus, let's find its value in the given system of equations.
-x +y
= -(-8) +6
= 8 +6
= 14
Thus, option 2 is the correct option.
