Answer:
(x, y) = (3, 7)
Step-by-step explanation:
If you divide the second equation by 2, it becomes ...
-x +2y = 11
Adding this to the first equation gives you the value of y:
(x -y) +(-x +2y) = (-4) +(11)
y = 7 . . . . . . . . simplify
The first equation can be rearranged to give an expression for x:
x = y -4
x = 7 -4 = 3
Then the solution is seen to be (x, y) = (3, 7).

Personally, I like a graphing calculator for a quick and easy solution to many linear systems. (If the solutions are non-integers, it may not be so helpful.)

Answer:
9.93
Step-by-step explanation:
Secant-Tangent theorem tells us that the product of the secant segment with its external segment is equal to the square of the tangent segment.
From the diagram, we can say (let the unknown part of secant line, the part left of the segment length 5, be y):
(15+y)(10) = 17^2
Solving for y we get:
Now we can use the chord theorem to solve for x. Chord theorem tells us that when 2 intersecting chords create 4 segments, the product of the individual chord segments are equal. Thus we can say:
5 * 13.9 = 7 * x
Now solving, we get:
Thus x = 9.93
last answer choice is right.
