Solve the system of equations - x - y = 6 and 5x -7y=66 by combining the equations

Let's solve for x.

−x−y=6

Step 1: Add y to both sides.

−x−y+y=6+y

−x=y+6

Step 2: Divide both sides by -1.

−x

−1

=

y+6

−1

x=−y−6

x=−y−6

Let's solve for x.

5x−7y=66

Step 1: Add 7y to both sides.

5x−7y+7y=66+7y

5x=7y+66

Step 2: Divide both sides by 5.

5x

5

=

7y+66

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
