Mathematics

Reika [66]3 years ago

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 3y = 24 ------ (1)

3x + 4y = 2 ------ (2)

(1) × 4,

8x - 12y = 96 ------ (3)

(2) × 3,

9x + 12y = 6 ------ (4)

(3) + (4)

17x = 96 + 6

= 102

x = 102 ÷ 17

= 6

Sub x = 6 into (2),

3(6) + 4y = 2

18 + 4y = 2

4y = 2 - 18

= -16

y = -16 ÷ 4

= -4

Therefore,

x - y = 6 - (-4)

= 6 + 4

= 10

The legs if an isosceles triangle are (3x^2+4x+2) inches and the base is (4x-5) inches. Find the perimeter of the triangle
alexdok [17]

Answer:

P=(6x^2+12x-1)\ in

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

An isosceles triangle has two equal sides and two equal angles

so

The perimeter of triangle is equal to

P=2(3x^2+4x+2)+(4x-5)

Eliminate parenthesis

P=6x^2+8x+4+4x-5

Combine like terms

P=(6x^2+12x-1)\ in

60 is 5 times greater than k expression
Alik [6]
60=5k 
Is the equation because the word 'is' means equals, so we add an equal sign after the 60. "Five times greater" simply means multiply so we multiply 5 and k.
Then to solve the equation, you would need to divide both sides by 5 to isolate the variable
60/5=5k/5
12=k 
I hope this helped!

Find the missing length indicated​
GaryK [48]

Answer:

240

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a right triangle. Based on the leg rule, the following equation shows how the length of a leg in a right triangle relates with the segments connected to the hypotenuse:

Hypotenuse/leg = leg/part

Where,

Hypo = 400

Leg = x

Part = 144

Substitute

400/x = x/144

Cross multiply

400*144 = x*x

57,600 = x²

√57,600 = x

240 = x

x = 240
