7x+5y=-24 (1)
4x+y=42 (2)
multiply equation (2) by 5 to get
20x+5y=210 (3)
then calculate (3)-(2) which gives you
13x=234 hence x=18
then substitute for x in either equation to get y=-30
Top, right because the numbers are increasing by the same amount (2 in this case).
The opposite of a equation. Such as addition will be subtraction
Answer:
First since 2 of the options ask for the width of BM lets solve for it using the Pythagorean theorem for both sides of point L:
a² + b² = c²
30² + b² = 50²
b² = 50² - 30²
b² = 1600
b = 40 Line BL = 40 ft
Since the ladder is 50 feet it is the same length on the other side as well
a² + b² = c²
40² + b² = 50²
b² = 50² - 40²
b² = 900
b = 30 line LM is 30 ft
SO line lm + line bl = 30 + 40 = 70 ft
A is true because ^
B isn't true because as we solved for earlier, BL is 40
C is true because line LM is in fact 30 ft as we solved for
D is not true because as we said earlier BM is 70
E is true because the same ladder was used on both sides of the street
