Use your choice of equal values, substitution, or elimination to solve the

Blizzard [7]2 years ago

Answer:

For this scenario, I used the elimination method. Organize the equations, so it's easier to subtract from each other. My x-variable will represent the number of hot dogs and my y-variable will represent the number of sodas.

3x+2y=213

x  + y =87

We need to make sure one of the monomials are alike in each equation, so we can eliminate a variable. Distribute 3 to each number/variable in the second equation.

3x+2y=213

3(x+y=87) --> 3x+3y=261

Now we can eliminate x.

  3x+2y=213

-  3x+3y=261

----------------------

        -y=-48  

Divide -1 to both sides to get y=48. So, you sold 48 cans of soda. Now, we can find the number of hot dogs by substituting 48 into the second equation to get x+48=87. Subtract 48 to both sides to result with x=39. So, you sold 39 hot dogs.

Find x in each triangle
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

x=20

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

21 ^2 + x^2 = 29^2

441+x^2 =841

Subtract 441 from each side

x^2 = 841-441

x^2 = 400

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(400)

x = 20
