Pythagorean Theorem: Jason only has room for a TV that is less than 30” wide.

Tasya [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, make 40 = c, 24 = b and the remaining side (the width) = a.

Solving for a we get a = $\sqrt{c^2-b^2}$ . Then plugging in the values for c and b, we get a = $\sqrt{1024}$ = 32

Since the width of the TV needs to be less than 30" wide, it will not fit since the width of the TV is 32" wide.

For what value of a should you solve the system of elimination?

SIZIF [17.4K]

$\begin{bmatrix}3x+5y=10\\ 2x+ay=4\end{bmatrix}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:}3x+5y=10\mathrm{\:by\:}2: 6x+10y=20$
$\mathrm{Multiply\:}2x+ay=4\mathrm{\:by\:}3: 3ay+6x=12$

$\begin{bmatrix}6x+10y=20\\ 6x+3ay=12\end{bmatrix}$

6x + 3ay = 12
-
6x + 10y = 20
/
3a - 10y = -8

$\begin{bmatrix}6x+10y=20\\ 3a-10y=-8\end{bmatrix}$

$3a-10y=-8 \ \textgreater \ \mathrm{Subtract\:}3a\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}$
$3a-10y-3a=-8-3a$

$\mathrm{Simplify} \ \textgreater \ -10y=-8-3a \ \textgreater \ \mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}-10$
$\frac{-10y}{-10}=-\frac{8}{-10}-\frac{3a}{-10}$

Simplify more.

$\frac{-10y}{-10} \ \textgreater \ \mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}: \frac{-a}{-b}=\frac{a}{b} \ \textgreater \ \frac{10y}{10}$

$6x+\frac{80}{10-3a}=20 \ \textgreater \ \mathrm{Subtract\:}\frac{80}{10-3a}\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}$
$6x+\frac{80}{10-3a}-\frac{80}{10-3a}=20-\frac{80}{10-3a}$

$\mathrm{Simplify} \ \textgreater \ 6x=20-\frac{80}{10-3a} \ \textgreater \ \mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}6 \ \textgreater \ \frac{6x}{6}=\frac{20}{6}-\frac{\frac{80}{10-3a}}{6}$

$\frac{6x}{6} \ \textgreater \ \mathrm{Divide\:the\:numbers:}\:\frac{6}{6}=1 \ \textgreater \ x$

$\frac{20}{6}-\frac{\frac{80}{10-3a}}{6} \ \textgreater \ \mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:\frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c} \ \textgreater \ \frac{20-\frac{80}{-3a+10}}{6}$

$\mathrm{Since\:the\:denominators\:are\:equal,\:combine\:the\:fractions}: \frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c}$

$Therefore\;our\;solutions\;are\; y=\frac{8}{10-3a},\:x=\frac{10\left(-a+2\right)}{-3a+10}$
