Answer:

10x - 12y = 192

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation :

-5/8x + 3/4y = 12 - - - (1)

8x + 12y = 11 ___(2)

The equivalent form of the first equation which can eliminate the y term :

Multiply (1) by - 16 :

-5/8x * - 16 + 3/4y * - 16 = 12 * - 16

10x - 12y = 192

Hence, Adding the obtained equation and equation(2) will eliminate.

A 13foot lader i upagenst a tree the bottom of the ladder is 5 feet away form the tree how high is the ladder on the tree
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Think of the 13-ft length of the ladder as the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Represent the horiz. distance from foot of ladder to base of tree by x, or 5 ft.

Represent the vert. dist. from base of tree to top of ladder by y, which is unknown.


Then (13 ft)^2 = (5 ft)^2 + y^2, or


169 ft^2 = 25 ft^2 + y^2. This simplifies to y^2 = 144. Thus y = + 12 feeet.


Note: Please pay attention to your spelling: "lader i up agenst a tree" should be "the top of a 13-ft ladder is placed against a tree."
