Answer:
x = 0, y = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving a system of equations using substitution requires one side to be equal to a variable present in the equation, in this case x or y. We should simplify the equation using elimination before substituting to reduce the chance of error.
In order to use the elimination method, you have to create variables that have the same coefficient—then you can eliminate them. These equations arew already aligned for us.
3x - 10y=-70
-<u> 4x +9y = 63</u>
-x + y = 7
Now, for substitution, the equation must be set to a variable.
-x + y = 7
y = x + 7
Next, plug the equation in where applicable in another equation.
4x +9(x + 7) = 63
4x + 9x + 63 = 63
13x = 0
x = 0
The final step of substitution is to plug the known variable into an equation to find the other variable.
3(0) - 10y=-70
0 - 10y = -70
10y = 70
y = 7
I guarantee you this answer is correct, I worked it out using other methods and graphing prior to submitting this answer.
Answer:
diagonal = = 12.8 inches (to the nearest tenth of an inch)
Step-by-step explanation:
As shown in the diagram attached to this solution:
Let the Length of the rectangular board = a
Let the width = b
Let the diagonal = d
where:
a = 10 inches
b = 8 inches
d = ?
Triangle ABC in the diagram is a right-angled triangle, therefore, applying Pythagoras theorem:
(hypotenuse)² = (Adjacent)² + (Opposite)²
d² = 10² + 8²
d² = 100 + 64
d² = 164
∴ d = √(164)
d = 12.806 inches
d = 12.8 inches (to the nearest tenth of an inch)
<em>N:B Rounding off to the nearest tenth of an inch is the same as rounding off to 1 decimal place.</em>
It is two units shifted downwards. you can see it by substituting x=0 for both equations
Step-by-step explanation:
5. 102 = 6( 1 + 4p)
102 = 6 + 24p
102 - 6 = 24p
96 = 24p
96/ 24 = p
4 = p
