2x+3y= -17 
5x+2y= -4
You must cancel either the x or y out to solve so i'm going to cancel the x. 
-5(2x+3y= -17)
2(5x+2y= -4)
This simplifies to: 
-15x -15y=85
15x+4y= -8
The -15x and 15x cancel out leaving you: 
-15y=85 
4y= -8
You add them top numbers by the bottom and get: 
-11y=77
Then divide by -11 to get y by its self.
y= -7
Now that you know what y is just plug it in to either original problem. I will use the second one. 
5x + 2(-7) = -4
5x -14 = -4
5x = 10 
x = 2
So the answer is (2,-7) or x=2 and y=-7

OleMash [197]

Answer:

step by step Explanation:

Since this is a right triangle,

We can find the length b by using the Pythagoras theorem

a2+b2=c2

Plugin the values

→22+b2=62

→4+b2=36

→b2=32

Take the square root of both sides

→√b2=√32

→b=√16⋅2

⇒b=4√2

14. A plane traveled from California and back. It took one hour longer on the way out than it did on the way back. The plane's a
kow [346]

Answer:

  C.  7 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time for the trip out be represented by t. Then the time for the return trip is t-1. The distance was the same for both trips, so we have ...

  distance = speed × time

  300t = 350(t -1)

  300t = 350t -350 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  350 = 50t . . . . . . . . . . add 350-300t

  7 = t . . . . . . divide by 50

The trip out took 7 hours.
