Answer:
no it's not, since y has two functions , a positive and negative in terms of x.
X + y = 16 (1)
x/y = 3 (2)
-------
x + y = 16
x = 16 - y
1. Substitute x into equation 2
16-y/y = 3
16 - y = 3y
16 = 4y
y = 4
2. Now substitute y into equation 1
x/y = 3
x/4 = 2
x = 12
Therefore, x = 12, y = 4
Answer:
36 green apples
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of red apples = percentage of red apples x total number of apples in the box
percentage of red apples = 100 - 40 = 60%
0.6 x 60 = 36
A system of equations for this would be
19x + 11y = 273
and
12x + 17y = 283.
X is the amount of minutes to solve one long division problem and y is the amount of minutes to solve a graphing problem.
How To Solve This System of Equations.
Multiply both by 17 and 11 respectively for them to have the greatest common factor for y. So now both equations are:
323x + 187y= 4641
132x + 187y= 3113.
Subtract both equations and you have left:
191x = 1528.
Divide both sides by 191 and you find x.
X = 8.

Answer:
Part A) The triangles ABC and EDC are similar by AAA, because the three internal angles are equal in both triangles
Part B) The width of the river is about 
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal and its corresponding angles are congruent
Part A) we know that
In this problem , triangles ABC and CDE are similar by AAA, because its corresponding angles are congruent
so
m<DCE=m<ACB -----> by vertical angles
m<EDC=m<ABC -----> is a right angle
m<DEC=m<CAB -----> the sum of the internal angles must be equal to 180 degrees
Part B) we know that
The triangles ABC and EDC are similar -------> see Part A
therefore
substitute the values and solve for AB
