Answer:

5' 6" = 66 inches

6 feet = 72 inches

shadow to actual height ratio = 72 / 66 = 1.0909...

Rodney is given twi equations:x-y=11 and 2x+y=19
lozanna [386]

Answer:

x= 10 and y= -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite your second equation Y= -2x+ 19 then plug it into the first equation.

x- (-2x + 19) = 11

x + 2x - 19 =11

3x - 19 = 11

3x = 30

x = 10

The plug that answer into the first equation and solve.

10 - y = 11

-y = 1

y = -1

(08.02)a pair of equations is shown below. 3x − y = 9 y = −2x + 11 if the two equations are graphed, at what point do the lines
mixas84 [53]
3x - y = 9
y = -2x + 11

3x - (-2x + 11) = 9
3x + 2x - 11 = 9
3x + 2x = 9 + 11
5x = 20
x = 20/5
x = 4

y = -2x + 11
y = -2(4) + 11
y = -8 + 11
y = 3

solution (where the lines intersect) is (4,3)

Allushta [10]

Answer:

D. 7n = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's substitute 4 for n in each equation to check if it the resulting equation is correct:

6+n=24\\ 6+4=24\\ 10\neq 24\rightarrow \text{Incorrect!}

5n=54\\5(4)=54\\20\neq54\rightarrow\text{Incorrect!}

12-n=16\\12-4=16\\8\neq16\rightarrow\text{Incorrect!}

7n=28\\7(4)=28\\28=28\rightarrow\text{Correct!}

Therefore the answer is D
