Answer:
y= -2
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply the top equation by 2 to get
2x + 6y = -2
then subtract the bottom equation by the new equation to get
2x + 6y = -2
--------------------
2x + 2y = 6
which is
4y = -8
y = -2
If y = -2
Then plug -2 into y in the top equation to get x + 3(-2) = -1 and simplify which is
x + (-6) and add 6 to both sides to get x = -1 + 6
which is x = 5
Answer:
7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets define what we're looking for, the "number", to be equal to x.
number = x
Following the questions hints:
" The sum of twice a number and three times a number"
(2x) + (3x)
is (which means equals to basically)
" triple the quantity of five more than a number"
3(x+5)
We connect all of this to find the number and get:
(2x) + (3x) = 3(x+5)
5x = 3x + 15
5x -3x = 15
2x = 15
x = 15/2
x = 7.5
Answer:
x ≈ 10.4
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the cosine ratio in the right triangle
cos42° = 
= 
( multiply both sides by 14 )
14 × cos42° = x , then
x ≈ 10.4 ( to the nearest tenth )
