With this line, we see that when x is a small negative number, F(x) is a very large negative number, or B.
Remember that F(x) is the same as y. And looking at the pattern of the line, the greater the negative x is, the smaller the negative y is.
First simplify the equation.
3x+3y= -x+5y
4x=2y
2x=y
y=2x
Means that the y value is 2 times the x value.
answer: C but there are more solutions than just (1,2) and (2,4)
Take -5x + y =13 and rearrange for y:
y=13+5x
Substitute into other equation for y:
-3x+3(13+5x)=3
Multiply out brackets:
-3x+39+15x=3
Simplify:
12x+39=3
Rearrange for x:
12x=-36
x=-3
Substitute back into y=13+5x:
y=13+5(-3)
y=13-15
y=-2
Answer:
270 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
For clarity, the image below represents the problem. Let's call h the height of the tower. Notice that it forms 2 triangles that are similar to side-angle-side. So, we can calculate the higher of the tower by similar triangles:
higher1/base1 = higher2/base2
h/135 = 6/3
h/135 = 2
h = 270 ft
