Answer:

16.58 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

a² + b² = c²

Think of this as a right triangle

The hypotenuse is 30, and one of the legs is 25

To find the other leg, subtract the square of the hypotenuse by the square of the given leg

30² - 25² = leg

900 - 625 = 275

Square root the answer to find the length of the missing leg

√275 = 16.583123951777

The leg is 16.58 ft.

Write the equation 2x - 3y = 6 in slope-intercept form. User: Write the equation for 5x + 2y = 3 in slope-intercept form.
evablogger [386]
Slope intercept form is: y=mx+b

So you take the first equation: 2x-3y=6 and you subtract the 2x from both sides and get: -3y= 2x+6

Then you take that equation: -3y= 2x+6 and divide -3 from both sides and get: y= -2/3x -2

So the equation 2x-3y=6 in slope intercept from is
y = -2/3x -2


Can you do the next one your self based on the one i did...?

(Scroll and check ⬇️ )


























Here ya go ;)

5x + 2y = 3 okay same steps as above you want to get the x on the other side so you subtract the 5x from both sides and get:

2y = 5x + 3

Then you want to get the y by its self so you divide the 2 from both sides so you get:

y = 5/2x +2/3

Now idk if your allowed to leave it like that (based on your teacher's preferance really) but if not you can simplfy your fractions and get:

y = 2.5x + 0.66

( i would leave the 2/3 and just leave it as y = 2.5x + 2/3 ) but you do you and i hope that helped you :)

Which equation can pair with 3x + 4y = 8 to create a consistent and independent system? 6x + 8y = 16 –3x – 4y = –6 6x – 3y = 2 –
pogonyaev

The right answer is C)

Consistent and independent system of two linear equations is a system such that there is only one solution for the system, that is, the two straight lines cross at a point. So we can analyze each case and I have attached some graphs to provided you with examples. Those graphs aren't about the equations but it's about general cases:

A) Consistent and dependent. If we divide this given equation by 2 we get the same line. (See Figure 1)

B) Inconsistent. No solutions. (See Figure 2)

C) Consistent and Independent. (See Figure 3)

D) Consistent and dependent.
