3x+y=9
3x-5y=15

3x+y+6=3x-5y
y+6=-5y
6y=-6
y=-1

3x-1=9
3x=10
x=10/3
x=3 1/3

y=-1
x=3 1/3

Hope this helps :)

3x+y=9 ....(1)
3x-5y=15. ......(2)
-[3x-5y=15]
=> 3x+ y = 9
-3x+5y=-15
..........................
0 +6y=-6
so,y=-1
3x+(-1)=9
3x=10
x=10/3

Answer:

Therefore the ball strikes the ground 5.98 s after kick.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that , a ball is kicked in the air. The height of the ball can be calculated using the equation $h(t)=-16t^2+64t+190$ where h is height in feet and t is time in second.

When the ball touches the ground then the height will be zero.

i.e h(t)=0

Therefore

$-16t^2+64t+190=0$

$\Rightarrow -2(8t^2-32t-95)=0$

Since -2≠0 then $(8t^2-32t-95)=0$

$(8t^2-32t-95)=0$

[The solution of a quadratic equation ax²+bx+c=0 is

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$ here a=8, b=-32 and c=-95]

$\Rightarrow t =\frac{-(-32)\pm\sqrt{(-32)^2-[4\times8\times(-95)]} }{2\times8}$

$\Rightarrow t =\frac{32\pm\sqrt{4064} }{16}$

Therefore t= 5.98 or -1.98

since time can not be negative So , t=5.98 s

Therefore the ball strikes the ground 5.98 s after kick.
