Solving systems of equations algebraically.

Elanso [62]

Answer:

x = 2

y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it gives you the value of y already, just plug that into the equation, like so:

y = 4x - 9

x - 3 = 4x - 9

Subtract the x from both sides:

x - 3 = 4x - 9

-x - x

__________

-3 = 3x - 9

Then, add 9 to both sides:

-3 = 3x - 9

+9 + 9

________

6 = 3x

Divide both sides by 3:

2 = x

Now plug in x for y:

y = x - 3

y = 2 - 3

y = -1

1. In a recent wind storm a large tree broke and made a 58° angle

yKpoI14uk [10]

*see attachement for diagram

Answer:

40.4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the part that broke away be represented as "x"

Thus, the digram makes a right triangle shape.

The closest total length of tree before the storm = x + 14 ft

Apply trigonometric function to find x.

Reference angle = 58°

Side adjacent to reference angle = 14 ft

Hypotenuse = x

Apply CAH, which is:

Cos 58 = adj/hyp

Cos 58 = 14/x

x * Cos 58 = 14

x = 14/Cos 58

x = 26.4191188 ≈ 26.4 ft

✔️closest total length of tree before the storm = x + 14 ft = 26.4 + 14 = 40.4 ft
