Answer:

x = 4

y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 10y = -16

-x -4y = 4 <-- ( multiplied x+4y=-4 with -1 so the x's cancel)

6y = -12

y = -2

put -2 back in the equation to get x

x + 10y = -16

x -20 = -16

x = 4

Diagram 5 shows a triangle ABD such that AD = 17 cm, AB = 10 cm and BD = 21 cm. The straight line AC is perpendicular to the str

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

100 = x^2 + AC^2

17^2 = AC^2 + (21 - x)^2

289 = AC^2 + 21^2 + x^2 - 2*21*x

289 =<u> AC^2</u> + 441 +<u> x^2</u> - 42x

from 1st equation AC^2 + x^2 = 100

289 = 441 + 100 - 42x

289 = 541 - 42x

42x = 541 - 289 = 252

x = 252/42 = 6

so AC^2 = 100 - 6^2 = 100 - 36 = 64

AC = 8
