Answer:

X=3 Y=15

Step-by-step explanation: First you need to use the problem 18/2=x to find the value of x. Now to find the value of y, you need to subtract 3 from 18.  Then you solve

15=2(9)-3 15+3=18

Answer:

x = 7

y = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system;

y = 2x - 3

x + y = 18

1. Approach

The easiest way to solve this system of equations is to solve the second equation for the variable (y). Then add the systems, use algebra to solve for the value of (x), then substitute that value back into one of the original equations to solve for the value of (y). Another name for the method in use is the method of elimination, this is when a [erspm manipulates one of the equations in a system of the equation such that when they add the equations, one of the variables eliminatates. Thus, they can solve for the other variable and the backsolve for the value of the unknown variable.

2. Solve one of the equations for a variable

Manipulate the system such that each equation is solved for the same variable,

x + y = 18

Inverse operations,

x + y = 18

-18        -18

x + y - 18 = 0

   -y         -y

x - 18 = -y

3. Use elimination

Now substitute this back into the original system,

y = 2x - 3

-y = x - 18

Add the systems,

y = 2x - 3

-y = x - 18

_________

0 = 3x - 21

Inverse operations,

0 = 3x - 21

+21       +21

21 = 3x

/3    /3

7 = x

4. Find the value of the unknown variable

Backsovle to find the value of (y),

x + y = 18

Substitute,

7 + y = 18

Inverse operations,

7 + y = 18

-7        -7

y = 11

In a 51-inch television, the length of the screen's diagonal is 51 inches. If the screen's height is 25 inches,
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

44.452

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagorean theorem you can use:

51^2 = 25^2 + w^2

2601 = 625 +w^2

w^2 = 1976

w = 44.452

A similarity ratio is the ratio of the lengths
kow [346]
Similarity ratio is a ratio of two figures having the same side.

Ratio can be rate but rate can never be ratio. In essence, rate is comparison between ratios.  While ratio is comparison between two or more numbers. Further, ratio on one hand, involves numbers either in amount, size, measurement, degrees, percentages or fractions with the absence of specific unit of measurement. On the contrary, rate is comparing quantities, amounts or unit of events happened expressed in a specific measurement or expressed under time. Take for instance, an example, Joe eats 2 while John eats 4 meals in a day. The ratio can be Joe: John, 2:4 meals. While the rate, is Joe eats 2 meals/day and John 4 meals/day.<span>
