Joint variation means that w=kxy where k is constant.
Finding k:
12=k*2*18
12=36k
k=1/3
Now plug in second set of values
16= 1/3*6*y
16=2*y
y=8
Final answer: 8
The numbers aren't accurate, they dont add up
The given system of equation has no solution.
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
<u><em>step 1</em></u><em> :</em>
The given equations are 4x + 2y = 14 and 2x + y = 7.
<u><em>step 2</em></u><em> :</em>
Let 4x + 2y = 14 be the first equation.
Let 2x + y = 7 be the second equation.
The solution (x,y) can be determined by solving the two equations, if only the given two equations are different.
<u><em>step 3</em></u><em> :</em>
In first equation taking 2 out as a common factor on both sides, the equation becomes:
2 (2x + y) = 2 (7)
So, the first equation resembles the second one.
<u><em>step 4</em></u><em> :</em>
Since both the equations are similar, they cannot be solved to get a solution. Therefore, the system of equation has no solution which is also known as inconsistent.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
X^2+15^2=25^2
X^2+225=625
Isolate X
X^2=400
Take the square root on both sides
X=positive and negative 20 but in this case the negative is thrown out because you can't have a negative side
Answer: 20
