What is the system that you have to solve to find the value of x and y?
Answer:
irrational
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the Pythagorean theorem.
5² + 6² = c²
25 + 36 = c²
c² = 61
7² = 49
6² = 64
61 is between 7² and 8², so it is not rational.
well, Marcus and Ben are both 5 feet tall and a little bit more, Marcus is 19/24 more and Ben is 9/16 more, so the 5's in the fraction are the same, so which one is larger, 19/24 or 9/16?
we can simply put both fractions with the same denominator, by <u>multiplying one by the other's denominator</u>, so let's proceed,
Answer: The answer I got was
x=8±√57
So there are two ways.
First you could solve for y and plug it into the calculator. one equation for y1 and another for y2. Then go 2nd trace and press 5 and then press enter 3 times to find the intersection.
the second way is to solve by hand. I would suggest solve the first equation for y and plug the equation solved for y into the other equation. so y = -3x + 9 and 3x-5y=15. Then you could do 3x - 5(-3x+9) = 15. Finally solve for x and plug in x into both equations to see if you get the same y value.
The answer should be (10/3, -1)
