Answer:
a=170
Step-by-step explanation:
(a+10)=180[because being a straight line]
or, a+10=180
or,a=180-10
a=170
Therefore,a=170
It will be 5 down from Olivier's graph at -3 (Oliver's is at 2)
Answer:
the midpoint would be (5,9)
Answer:
The solution is ( 1/2 , 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
∵ 8x + 7y = 39 ⇒ (1)
∵ 4x - 14y = -68 ⇒ (2)
Multiply (1) by 2
16x + 14y = 78 ⇒ (3)
Add (2) and (3)
∴ 20x = 10 ⇒ x = 10 ÷ 20 = 1/2
∴ x = 1/2
By substitute in (1)
8(1/2) + 7y = 39 ⇒ 7y = 39 - 4 = 35 ⇒ y = 35 ÷ 7 = 5
∴ y = 5
∴ The solution is ( 1/2 , 5)
To check:
8(1/2) + 7(5) = 4 + 35 = 39 = R.H.S
4(1/2) - 14(5) = 2 - 70 = -68 = R.H.S
