5x + 2y = 22
10x + 9y = 59
so now we need to either eliminate the y or the x and we need to multiply both numbers by something so that they will be the same and we can add or minus them.
so here I will eliminate x because it's easier
we multiply the top equation by 2 and the bottom equation by 1 and we get
10x + 4y = 44
10x + 9y = 59
so now we can see that the number of x's are the same and we can just find the DIFFERENCE between the two equations if it was -10x and 10x we would ADD
= 5y = 15
notice that the x'a have cancelled each other out
now we divide both sides by 5 so
y=3
now we have y, we need to substitute it into one of the original equations, doesn't matter which one. I'm going to do the first one.
5x + 2y = 22
5x + 2(3)=22
5x + 6 = 22
now minus 6 from both sides
5x = 16
divide both sides by 5
x = 3.2
we have our answers but to be sure we need to just substitute the values for x and y into BOTH original equations.
5x + 2y = 22
= 16 + 6 = 22
10x + 9y = 59
= 32 + 27 =59
Tadaa!! and there you have it
y = 3
x = 3.2
hope this helped :)
In this problem, we are asked to declare statements that describe the orders given as stated. In the first command, we are to define the element number of the element specified, which by, in this case, is oxygen. This is expressed: Element number = 8. Then we name the element that is element = oxygen. The third command specifies the atomic weight of the elementoxygen = 15.9994. For the last command, the expression is atomic weight = oxygen. It is important to arrange the commands in order so that the program that understands the data executes the orders well and translate them into output.
Answer:
x = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Since both right triangles are similar, therefore:
Cross multiply
Subtract 780 from both sides
x + 23 = 0
x = -23
Or
2x - 36 = 0
2x = 36
x = 18
