To solve a multi-variable problem, you need to isolate single variables. To do this, there are two ways to do it. One way you eliminate one of the variables and the other you substitute.

In this example, you are being asked to eliminate one of the variables. To do this, you multiply 2x+2y= 12 by 2 and get 4x+4y = 24.

See how now both equations contain a 4y?

Using this you can subtract one equation from the other.

5x+4y=28

- 4x+4y=24

And then you get x=4

To get the other variable, you substitute 4 in for x (in one of the equations) and then solve for y.

2(4) + 2y =12

8+2y= 12

2y=4

y=2

Therefore, x = 4 and y = 2

Forensic scientists can estimate the overall height of an adult male based on the length of the femur bone. A femur bone that is
faust18 [17]

Answer:

h = 1.88f + 32.01

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the linear equation, we first find the gradient of the linear equation from

(y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = m and using the values of the length of femur and overall height respectively, where x₁ = 18 inches and y₁ = 65.85 inches and x₂ = 14 inches and y₂ = 58.33 inches

So, (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = m

(58.33 - 65.85)/(14 - 18) = m

-7.52/-4 = m

m = 1.88

So, to find the linear equation, we use

(y - y₁)/(x - x₁) = m where f₁ = 18 inches and h₁ = 65.85 inches

So, (y - y₁)/(x - x₁) = m

(y - 65.85)/(x - 18) = 1.88

(y - 65.85) = 1.88(x - 18)

y - 65.85 = 1.88x - 33.84

collecting like terms, we have

y = 1.88x - 33.84 + 65.85

y = 1.88x + 32.01

Given that y = h = overall height of adult male and x = f = length of femur,

h = 1.88f + 32.01

jasenka [17]

Answer:

C) $3.77

Step-by-step explanation:

  • $2.80 + $0.10 = $2.90

  • Turn 30% into 0.30 by moving the decimal point (percentage sign) 2 places to the left.

  • To solve 30% of $2.90  →   0.30 x 2.90 = 0.87

  • Finally  $2.90 + $0.87 = $3.77
