-9 yards
5 sets of 3 yards
minus
2 sets of 12 yards
= -9
Answer
14.4 ft~
Step-by-step explanation
A kite is flying 12 feet off the ground, therefore the height is 12 (assuming the line is tied to the ground if a person is holding the line then the height would be less)
Assuming the sun is positioned in such a way that the shadow represents a horizontal distance. Horizontal distance of shadow = 8
Use Pythagoras Theorem
Where a^2 + b^2 = c^2
8^2 + 12^2 = 208
Square root 208 = 14.4~

Greetings.
The answer is (5,4)
Explanation:
Solving by elimination can be done by adding or subtracting of first and two equation.
Find any terms that make themselves = 0.
And that is the y-term.
Our 2y and -2y. If we add each others, we'd get 0 for y-term.
Therefore, we eliminate the y-term first.

If you are wondering how I get 2x = 10 then here's the explanation.
So we simply add/subtract both equations.
We do -x + 3x = 2x
Then +2y - 2y = 0
And 3 + 7 = 10
That's how we get 2x = 10.
Basically Add/Subtract in Vertical way.

We may get the x-value but we need to know the y-value too.
Therefore, substitute x = 5 into any given equations. I suggest you to substitute the x-value in any equations with less coefficient value.
I'd rather substitute x = 5 in -x+2y = 3.

Substitute x = 5 in -x + 2y = 3

Therefore, when x = 5, y = 4. Since you want the answer in ordered pairs then It's (5,4).
