Answer: x=1.6

y=4.2

Step-by-step explanation:

5.2x - y = 4.1

1.5x + y = 6.7

we will add both equations and you see that the y is getting cancelled

6.7x=10.8

x=10.8/6.7= 1.6

now in any equation we will replace x with 1.6

5.2(1.6)-y=4.1

8.3-y=4.1

-y= 4.1-8.3

-y=-4.2 multiply by -1

y=4.2

Answer:

x = 1.61 (Estimated)

y = 4.28 (Estimated)

Step-by-step explanation:

5.2x - y = 4.1

1.5x + y = 6.7

5.2x − y = 4.1

−y = −5.2x + 4.1

y = 5.2x − 4.1

Solve for x:

1.5x + y = 6.7

1.5x + 5.2x − 4.1 = 6.7

6.7x − 4.1 = 6.7

6.7x = 10.8

x = 1.61194

Solve for y:

y = 5.2x − 4.1

y = 5.2 × 1.61194 − 4.1

y = 4.28209

Quadrilateral ABCD is similiar to quadrilateral EFGH. The lengths of the three longest sides in quadrilateral ABCD are 24 feet,

MatroZZZ [7]

The two quadrilaterals are given similar .

In any similar figure sides are in proportion.The second largest side of quadrilateral ABCD is 16 ft .Let the second longest side of quadrilateral EFGH be x ft. These sides will be in proportion to each other .

The second shortest side of quadrilateral EFGH that is GF will be proportional to the third longest side of quadrilateral ABCD that is BC

We can form a proportion with the proportional sides:

$\frac{16}{x} =\frac{12}{18}$

To solve for x we cross multiply

12x=(16)(18)

12x=288

Dividing both sides by 12 we get

x=24.

The second longest side of quadrilateral EFGH is 24 ft.

Solve the equation 50=4(x-7)-6(3x-6)

rusak2 [61]

we are given

$50=4(x-7)-6(3x-6)$

Firstly , we can distribute

$50=4x-28-18x+36$

now, we can combine like terms

$50=-14x+8$

$-14x=42$

now, we can solve for x

and we get

$x=-3$ ...........Answer

Find the vertex and length of the latus rectum for the parabola. y=1/6(x-8)^2+6

Ivan

Step-by-step explanation:

If the parabola has the form

$y = a(x - h)^2 + k$ (vertex form)

then its vertex is located at the point (h, k). Therefore, the vertex of the parabola

$y = \dfrac{1}{6}(x - 8)^2 + 6$

is located at the point (8, 6).

To find the length of the parabola's latus rectum, we need to find its focal length f. Luckily, since our equation is in vertex form, we can easily find from the focus (or focal point) coordinate, which is

$\text{focus} = (h, k +\frac{1}{4a})$

where $\frac{1}{4a}$ is called the focal length or distance of the focus from the vertex. So from our equation, we can see that the focal length f is

$f = \dfrac{1}{4(\frac{1}{6})} = \dfrac{3}{2}$

By definition, the length of the latus rectum is four times the focal length so therefore, its value is

$\text{latus rectum} = 4\left(\dfrac{3}{2}\right) = 6$

How do you find the circumference or a circle with only a diameter?

bogdanovich [222]

To find the circumference of a circle that lists only as a diameter, you would do pi*d so lets say the diameter is 6, you would do pi*6 which would end up giving you 18.84. I hope this helps a bit! (:
