Answer:

x = 2.5
y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

4x + y = 14
6x - 3y = 3

Let's first solve for y by choosing any equation.

4x + y = 14
=> y = 14 - 4x

Now, let's substitute the value of y into the second equation.

6x - 3y = 3
=> 6x - 3(14 - 4x) = 3
=> 6x - 42 + 12x = 3
=> 18x - 42 = 3
=> 18x = 42 + 3
=> 18x = 45
=> x = 45/18 = 5/2 = 2.5

Now, let's substitute the value of x into the equation of y.

=> 14 - 4x = y
=> 14 - 4(2.5) = y
=> 14 - 10 = y
=> y = 4

Hence, the value of x and y are 2.5 and 4 respectively.

A new price of an item is $39.32. The percent increase was 16%. What was the original price?

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

let x =the original price

then 116x/100=$39.32

116x=100×39.32

116x=3932

divide both sides by 116

116x/116=3932/116

x=33.89655

If y is the circumcenter is angle STU find each measure

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Measures are SV=9 units., SY=14 units, YW= $\sqrt75units$ , YW= $\sqrt27units$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Y is the circumcenter of ΔSTU. we have to find the measures SV, SY, YW and YX.

As Circumcenter is equidistant from the vertices of triangle and also The circumcenter is the point at which the three perpendicular bisectors of the sides of the triangle meet.

Hence, VY, YW and YX are the perpendicular bisectors on the sides ST, TU and SU.

Given ST=18 units.

As VY is perpendicular bisector implies SV=9 units.

Also in triangle VTY

$YT^{2}=VY^{2}+VT^{2}$

⇒ $14^{2}=VY^{2}+9^{2}$

⇒ VY^{2}=115

As vertices of triangle are equidistant from the circumcenter

⇒ SY=YT=UY=14 units

Hence, SY is 14 units

In ΔUWY, $UY^{2}=YW^{2}+UW^{2}$

⇒ $14^{2}=YW^2+11^{2}$

⇒ $YW^2=196-121=75$ ⇒ YW= $\sqrt75units$

In ΔYXU, $UY^{2}=YX^{2}+XU^{2}$

⇒ $14^{2}=YX^2+13^{2}$

⇒ $YX^2=196-169=27$ ⇒ YW= $\sqrt27units$

Hence, measures are SV=9 units., SY=14 units, YW= $\sqrt75units$ , YW= $\sqrt27units$
