5x + 7y = 17 x + 4y = 19

Mathematics

REY [17]3 years ago
5 0
<h2>Answer:</h2>

5x + 7y = 17 ....(1)

x + 4y = 19 .....(2)

<u>From equation 2</u>

x + 4y = 19

x = 19 - 4y

<u>Putting the value of x in Equation (1)</u>

5(19 - 4y) + 7y = 17

95 - 20y + 7y = 17

- 20y + 7y = 17 - 95

-13y = -78

y = \frac{78}{13}

y = 6

<u>Now, putting the value of y in equation </u><u>(</u><u>2</u><u>)</u>

x + 4y = 19

x + 4(6) = 19

x + 24 = 19

x = 19 - 24

x = -5

<u>Therefore, the value of y is 6 and value of x is -5</u>

Experimentally verify sum of three angles of an triangle is 180⁰.​
svetlana [45]

Draw line a through points A and B. Draw line b through point C and parallel to line a.

Since lines a and b are parallel, <)BAC = <)B'CA and <)ABC = <)BCA'.

It is obvious that <)B'CA + <)ACB + <)BCA' = 180 degrees.

Thus <)ABC + <)BCA + <)CAB = 180 degrees.

Lemma

If ABCD is a quadrilateral and <)CAB = <)DCA then AB and DC are parallel.

Proof

Assume to the contrary that AB and DC are not parallel.

Draw a line trough A and B and draw a line trough D and C.

These lines are not parallel so they cross at one point. Call this point E.

Notice that <)AEC is greater than 0.

Since <)CAB = <)DCA, <)CAE + <)ACE = 180 degrees.

Hence <)AEC + <)CAE + <)ACE is greater than 180 degrees.

Contradiction. This completes the proof.

Definition

Two Triangles ABC and A'B'C' are congruent if and only if

|AB| = |A'B'|, |AC| = |A'C'|, |BC| = |B'C'| and,

<)ABC = <)A'B'C', <)BCA = <)B'C'A', <)CAB = <)C'A'B'.
