Set equations for both containers:
Condition one: $y=2x$
Condition two: $(y-3)=4.5(x-2)$
plug in $y$ from condition one into the second equation:
$2x-3=4.5x-9$
simplify gives: $2.5x=6$
$\boxed{x=2.4}$
$\boxed{y=4.8}$

A glider flies 13 miles north from the airport and then 24 miles diagonally southeast. Approximately how far west does the glide
NISA [10]

Answer:

20.2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be described by the three sides of a right angled triangle. Let the distance of the glider to the airport be represented by x, applying the Pythagoras theorem:

/hyp/^{2} = /adj1/^{2} + /adj2/^{2}

/24/^{2} = /x/^{2} + /13/^{2}

576 = x^{2} + 169

x^{2} = 576 - 169

   = 407

x = \sqrt{407}

  = 20.1742

x = 20.2 miles

The glider has to fly 20.2 miles to return to the airport.

In this question , all lengths are in centimetres. AB= 3x-4,AC=2x+12,BC=7x-2.given AB:AC=1:2 show that AC:BC=2:3
Lelu [443]

Answer:

AX : XB as AB : AC

AX = 5

XB = 4

AC = 6

AB = x

Step-by-step explanation:

5 : 4 as to x : 6

ratios can also be written as fractions...

5/4 = x/6 ..now we have a proportion...so we cross multiply

(4)(x) = (5)(6)

4x = 30

x = 30/4

x = 15/2 <==== AB = 15/2
