Answer:  

X + Y = 5.678

X - Y = 9.876

The two numbers: X = 7.777   Y = -2.099

Step-by-step explanation: solve by elimination

X + Y = 5.678

X - Y = 9.876 . Add the two equations so the y cancels. Solve for x

2x = 15.554 .  Divide both sides by 2

X = 7.777    Substitute in the original equations to find Y

7.777 + y = 5.678 . Subtract 7.777 from both sides

Y = - 2.099

check in the second equation:

7.777 -(-2.099) = 9.876

7.777 + 2.099 = 9.876 <u>True</u>

Help please !! I’m am struggling with this lol

Answer:

  x ≈ 3.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Call the segment shared by the two triangle "y". The Pythagorean theorem tells you ...

  sum of squares of sides = square of hypotenuse

  y² +6² = 10²

  x² +7² = y²

Substituting for y² using the second equation, we get ...

  x² +7² +6² = 10²

  x² = 10² -7² -6² = 100 -49 -36 = 15

Taking the square root, we find ...

  x = √15 ≈ 3.9

What is the measure of arc WXY
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

152°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let P be any point on tangent \overleftrightarrow{YZ} and WY is secant or chord of the \odot J .

\therefore m\angle WYZ + m\angle WYP = 180°\\(Straight \: line \: \angle 's) \\\therefore 104° + m\angle WYP = 180°\\\therefore  m\angle WYP = 180°- 104° \\\red{\boxed {\bold {\therefore  m\angle WYP = 76°}}} \\

NOW, by tangent secant theorem:

m\angle WYP =\frac{1}{2}\times m(\widehat{WXY}) \\\\76°=\frac{1}{2}\times m( \widehat{WXY}) \\\\76°\times 2 =m( \widehat{WXY}) \\\huge \purple {\boxed {\therefore m(\widehat{WXY}) = 152°}}

Help me i beg u plzzzz
Ainat [17]
We can say at month 0 she was 43 inches tall.

And at month 18 she was 52 inches tall.

We can say that x is the number of months and y is her height.

Rise/run
y2-y1/x2-x1
52-43/18-0
9/18
1/2

So the slope is 1/2 (which is what you are looking for.) and if you were to write an equation it would be y=1/2x+43
