4x - 5y = -12
-x + 5y = 18
Add the equations together:
4x + -x = 3x
-5y + 5y = 0
-12 + 18 = 6
So now you have:
3x = 6
Divide both sides by 3:
X = 2
Now you have the value of x, replace x with 2 in one of the equations and solve for y:
4(2) -5y = -12
8 -5y = -12
Subtract 8 from both sides:
-5y = -20
Divide both sides by -5:
Y = 4
The solution is x = 2 and y = 4 which is written as (2,4)
<u>Given</u>:
Given that the surface area of the cone is 54 square inches.
We need to determine the surface area of the cone that is similar to the cone three times large.
<u>Surface area of the similar cone:</u>
Let us determine the surface area of the similar cone.
The surface area of the similar cone can be determined by multiplying the surface area of the cone by 3. Because it is given that the similar cone is three times large.
Thus, we have;


Thus, the surface area of the similar cone is 162 square inches.
