Alja [10]

Answer:

X+2Y=7 and 4X+8Y=19

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write the equations in the form y=mx+c, where m represents the gradient.

In this case, gradient is equal to -0.5

Step 2: Now fix arbitrary values on the equation, y=mx+c while maintaining the value of m as - 0.5

You can make endless equations

Given a right triangle with legs a, b and hypotenuse c, solve for b if a= 72 and c= 75
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

The answer is a. 21.

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this question by using Pythagoras theorem to relate the sides of a right angled triangle.

Here,

Hypotenuse of the given triangle(c)=75

Two sides of right angled triangle are:

a=72

b=?

Then,

for a given right angled triangle abc,

Using Pythagoras theorem,

c=\sqrt{a^{2} +b^{2} }

Squaring on both sides,

c^{2} =a^{2}+b^{2}

or,75^{2}=72^{2}+b^{2}

or, b^{2}=75^{2}-72^{2}

or,b^{2}=5625- 5184

or,b^{2} =441

∴b=21

So, the value of b is obtained to 21 by the use of Pythagoras theorem.

I need help asap plz
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The constant of proportionality is the ratio between the two proportional variables in a directly proportional relationship. In this case, the variables are x and y.

To find the constant of proportionality, all we have to do is divide any value of y by its corresponding value of x. Let's take the values in the first row of the table. We know that x=2 and y=12, so the constant of proportionality is \frac{y}{x}=\frac{12}{2} =6. Hope this helps!
