Its fairly straightforward. Since the bottom equation only has one unknown,x, because y=1.3, you can plug y in and solve for x. Once you find the value of x, you then have the value for two variables, x and y, and again have one unknown coefficient a. To solve for the coefficient you just plug in your y value (1.3) and your x value (which can be rounded to 0.42). Using a little bit of algebra, you can then solve for a which should be a=2.108. I am not sure if your teacher wants you to solve it this way but you could also use the elimination method or substitution method that you would of learned when discussing system of equations. But no matter which way you do it, the math follows the rules. Hope this helps. I’d suggest you solve it yourself to double check my work.

Yes it is a function because there are not any repeating x values ( first number in each set of parentheses)
Answer:
x=7, so the smaller number is 7 and the larger number is 21.
Step-by-step explanation:
x=3x+5=33
Let x=3:
(3)+3(3)+5=3+9+5=17, not 33, so x is not 3
Let x=5:
(5)+3(5)+5=5+15+5=25, not 33, so x is not 5
Let x=7:
(7)+3(7)+5=7+21+5=33, so x=7
Let x=9:
(9)+3(9)+5=9+27+5=41, not 33, so x is not 9
Therefore x=7. Because x represents the smaller number, and the larger number is 3 times the smaller number, the smaller number is 7 and the larger number is 3(7)=21.
Answer:
84
Step-by-step explanation:
The mean is calculated as
mean = 
, then
= 21 ( multiply both sides by 4 )
sum = 84
Answer:
The length of shadow is 69 foot.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given a shadow of lighthouse.
Length of top of lighthouse to end of shadow is 90 ft.
Angle make at top of lighthouse is 50°
Distance from foot of lighthouse to end of shadow is x ft.
we need to find the length of shadow i,e x ft
Using trigonometry ration:
Hence, The length of shadow is 69 foot.
