Consider the following pair of equations:

Mathematics
1 answer:
Bond [772]3 years ago
6 0
So the equations are: 

y= 3x + 3

y= x- 1

By the transitive property, we know x-1= 3x+3 (Transitive property means if a= b, and b= c, shouldn't a = c if they both equal b?)

so, x- 1= 3x + 3.  Now we isolate x and solve:
        +1          +1
x= 3x+ 4
-x  -x

0 = 2x+ 4
-4        -4

-4 = 2x
/2    /2

x= -2

Now, you can plug that back in to find y:

y = x- 1
y= -2 -1
y= -3

Then plug them both in to make sure it is correct. :o)

If 7x=3y and 5y=7z then X/Z?
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

3/5=x/z

Step-by-step explanation:

7x=3y

7(3)=3(7)

21=21

5y=7z

5(7)=7z (plug in the seven from the first step)

35=7z

then divide both sides by 7

5=z

therefore, X/Z=3/5

The area of a piece of land that is in the shape of a triangle is 1/12 square mile. One dimension of this piec of land is 4/21.
Arisa [49]

Answer:

D2=21/24 mile

Step-by-step explanation:

Her it is not specified if it is base or height, it only talks about dimensions, so let's work with dimensions

A=1/12 mile^{2}

D1=4/21mile, D2=?

Area of a triangle A=\frac{b.h}{2}

A=((D1*D2)/2) → 2A=D1*D2 → D2=2A/D1 so D2=(2*1/12)/(4/21) =(1/6)/(4/21) = (1*21)/(6*4)=21/24 mile
