Answer:
13.1 (3sf)
Step-by-step explanation:
14 ^2 - 5^2 = 171
root 171 = 13.1 (3sf)
2y is in the first equation so if you change 0.5x+y=17 to y=17-0.5x and then double it to 2y=34-x, you can substitute and find x. And then you can find out y.
How to find x:
0.5x+y=17
y=17-0.5x
2y=34-x
3x-2y=8
3x-34-x=8
<u>x=21</u>
How to find y (with previous info.)
x=21
3x-2y=8
3*21-2y=8
63-8=2y
55=2y
<u>27.5=y</u>
<u>y = 25</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>=> 115 = y + 90 {exterior angle of triangle is equal to the sum of its opposite two interior angles}</u>
<u>=> 115 = y + 90 </u>
<u>=> 115-90 =y</u>
<u>=> 115 = y + 90</u>
<u>=> 115-90 =</u><u>y</u>
<u>=> y = 25</u>
