Answer:

278 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Train A and Train B, weigh a total of 366 tons

A+B= 366----------1

We are also given that

A-B= 190-----------2

from 1

A= 366-B

put this in equation 2, we have

366-B-B= 190

366-2B= 190

366-190= 2B

176=2B

divide both sides by 2

B= 176/2

B=88 tons

Put B= 88 in equation 1 to find A

A+88= 366

A= 366-88

A=278 tons

Hence Train A is 278 tons

71/20 is not in simplest form because you need to change it into a mixed number by dividing 71 and 20 and putting the remainder over 20.

Which system of equations is consistent and dependent?
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4x − y = −11

2x + 3y = 5

lets multiply the second equation by -2 and add it to the first:

4x − y = −11

-4x - 6y = -10

------------------

0  - 7y = -21

y = -21/-7

y = 3

now we substitute this result in the first equation to find x:

4x − y = −11

4x - 3 = -11

4x = -8

x = -8/4

x = 2

so the solution is y = 3 and x =2

4x − 9y = −21

−10y = −30

we solve for y

−10y = −30

y = -30/-10

y = 3

and substitute in the first equation:

4x − 9y = −21

4x − 9(3) = −21

4x - 27 = -21

4x = 6

x = 6/4 = 3/2

so the solution is x = 3/2 and y = 3

4x + 3y = 5

2y = −6

we solve for y:

2y = −6

y = -6/2

y = -3

we do substitute in the first equation:

4x + 3y = 5

4x + 3(-3) = 5

4x - 9 = 5

4x = 14

x = 14/4

x = 7/2

so the solution is x = 7/2 and y = -3

7x − 3y = −11

9x = −6

we solve for x:

9x = −6

x = -6/9

x = -2/3

then we substitute in the first equation the result found:

7x − 3y = −11

7(-2/3) − 3y = −11

-14/3 - 3y = -11

we multiply by 3 to eliminate fractions:

-14 - 9y = -33

9y = 19

y = 19/9

so the solution is x = -2/3 and y = 19/9

12x − 3y = −33

14x = −28

we solve for x:

14x = −28

x = -28/14

x = -2

then we substitute in the first equation:

12x − 3y = −33

12(-2) − 3y = −33

-24 - 3y = -33

3y = 9

y = 3

then the solution is x = -2 and y = 3

An altitude is drawn from the vertex of an isosceles triangle, forming a right angle
Hatshy [7]

Answer:56.8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

For perimeter we must find the lengths of the 2 diagonal sides of the triangle which are the same because it is isosceles.

the triangle is cut directly in half so both halves of the base are 17/2

17/2 = 8.5

solve through pythagoren theorum

altitude^2 + (half of base)^2 = (diagonal length)^2

18^2 + (8.5)^2 = (diagonal length)^2

324 + 72.25 = (diagonal length)^2

396.3 = (diagonal length)^2

\sqrt{396.3} = diagonal length

diagonal length = 19.9

diagonal length + diagonal length + base = perimeter

19.9 + 19.9 + 17 = perimeter

56.8 inches = perimeter
