Find the solution of this system of equations. separate the x- and the y- values with a comma. x=6+y -8x+9y=-29

x= 25, y = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{x = y + 6 | (equation 1)

9 y - 8 x = -29 | (equation 2)

Express the system in standard form:

{x - y = 6 | (equation 1)

-(8 x) + 9 y = -29 | (equation 2)

Swap equation 1 with equation 2:

{-(8 x) + 9 y = -29 | (equation 1)

x - y = 6 | (equation 2)

Add 1/8 × (equation 1) to equation 2:

{-(8 x) + 9 y = -29 | (equation 1)

0 x+y/8 = 19/8 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by 8:

{-(8 x) + 9 y = -29 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 19 | (equation 2)

Subtract 9 × (equation 2) from equation 1:

{-(8 x)+0 y = -200 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 19 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by -8:

{x+0 y = 25 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 19 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

 {x = 25 , y = 19

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4

answer: what are the following choices
