<u>Answer:</u>

  • x = 5
  • y = 3

<u>Solution:</u>

  • => x + 4y = 17

            -x - 6y = -23

  • => -2y = -6
  • => y = 3

<u>Now, let's substitute the value of y into the first equation.</u>

  • x + 4y = 17
  • => x + 4(3) = 17
  • => x + 12 = 17
  • => x = 5

<u>Let's check our answer to make sure it is correct.</u>

<u>Check:</u>

  • -x - 6y = -23
  • => -(5) - 6(3) = -23
  • => -5 - 18 = -23
  • => -23 = -23

Hence, this is proven correct.

Hoped this helped.

A 20 ft. ladder is used against a 15 ft. wall. What is the measure of the angle made by the ladder and the ground (nearest whole
Brrunno [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The length of a ladder, H = 20 feet

The height of the wall, h = 15 ft

We know that,

\sin\theta=\dfrac{h}{H}

h is perpendicular and H is hypotenuse

So,

\sin\theta=\dfrac{15}{20}\\\\\theta=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{15}{20})\\\\\theta=48.59^{\circ}

Now using Pythagoras theoerm,

b=\sqrt{H^2-h^2}\\\\b=\sqrt{20^2-15^2}\\\\b=13.2\ ft

Hence, the angle made by the ladder and the ground is 48.59° and the ladder is 13.2 feet from the wall on the ground.

If f(x) = 5x + 4, which of the following is the inverse of Ax)?
Levart [38]

Answer:

f^{-1} (x) = \frac{x-4}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

let y = f(x) and rearrange making x the subject, that is

y = 5x + 4 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

y - 4 = 5x ( divide both sides by 5 )

\frac{y-4}{5} = x

change x to f^{-1}(x) and y back to x, thus

f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x-4}{5}
