Answer:

6.1 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Always draw a diagram! And now pythagorean theorem. a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Substitution:

a^2 + 2.8^2 = 6.7^2

a^2 + 7.84 = 44.89

a^2 = 37.05

a = 6.086...

Rounding <u>up</u> to one decimal point, thats 6.1 m

If you were to use the substitution method to solve the following system, choose the new
mestny [16]

Answer:

23x = -115

Step-by-step explanation:

In the substitution method, you must solve for 1 variable in 1 equation to replace it in the other equation. For the system:

2x - 7y = 4

3x + y = -17

Solving for y in the second equation:

y = -17 - 3x

Replacing y in the first equation:

2x - 7(-17 - 3x) = 4

2x + 119 + 21x = 4

23x = -115

This is the new equation after use the substitution method.

If 60 is 75% of s value, what is that value
ohaa [14]
Let's write it down:
<span>"60 is 75% of s" means:

60=75%*s

75% is \frac{75}{100}= \frac{3}{4}, (percent just means "out of 100" so we just divide it by 100) so we can also write:

60=</span><span>\frac{3}{4}s

now, let's multiply both sides by 4:

240=3s

and divide by 3:
80=s

So we have the result that the original value, s, is 80!
