5x + 3y = 16 3x -5y = -4 How do I solve this

Mathematics

Answer:

(2, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this system of equations using the elimination method.

Let's start by multiplying the first equation by 3:

3(5x+3y)=3(16)\\3(5x)+3(3y)=48\\15x+9y=48

Now, multiply the second equation by 5:

5(3x-5y)=5(-4)\\5(3x)-5(5y)=-20\\15x-25y=-20

Since both equations have 15x, we can eliminate the x by subtracting the two equations.

15x-15x+9y-(-25y)=48-(-20)\\9y+25y=68\\34y=68\\\text{Divide both sides by 34}\\y=2

Now, substitute 2 for y to solve for x:

5x+3y=16\\5x+3(2)=16\\5x+6=16\\\text{Subtract 6 from both sides}\\5x=10\\\text{Divide both sides by 2}\\x=2

Therefore the solution to this system of equations is:

(x, y)=(2, 2)

Elliott is standing at the top of a store escalator that leads to the ground floor below. the angle of depression from the top o
erma4kov [3.2K]

By using what we know about right triangles, we conclude that the height is 11ft.

<h3>How far is the top of the escalator from the ground floor? </h3>

We can think of this as a right triangle.

Where the length of the escalator is the hypotenuse

We know that the angle of depression is 42.51°, then the top angle of our right triangle is:

90° - 42.51° = 47.49°

Now, the height of the top of the escalator would be the adjacent cathetus to said angle, then we can use the relation:

cos(a) = (adjacent cathetus)/(hypotenuse)

Replacing what we know:

cos(47.49°)  = height/16ft

cos(47.49°) *16ft = height = 10.8ft

Rounding to the nearest foot, we get:

height = 11ft
