Answer:

height = 5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The height will divide the base of the triangle in two parts of 3 ft, making two smaller right triangles.

Then, to find the height, we can use the Pythagoras' theorem in one of these triangles:

6^2 = 3^2 + height^2

36 = 9 - height^2

height^2 = 27

height = 5.19 ft

Rounding to the nearest foot, we have height = 5 ft

Solve the system using elimanation: 5x + 4y = 12. 3x -3y = 18
Scorpion4ik [409]
If you would like to solve the system of equations 5x + 4y = 12 and 3x - 3y = 18 using elimination, you can do this using the following steps:

<span>5x + 4y = 12    /*3
3x - 3y = 18    /*4
_____________
15x + 12y = 36
12x - 12y = 72
_____________
15x + 12y + 12x - 12y = 36 + 72
15x + 12x = 36 + 72
27x = 108
x = 108/27
x = 4

</span><span>3x - 3y = 18
</span>3 * 4 - 3y = 18
12 - 3y = 18
12 - 18 = 3y
3y = -6
y = -6/3
y = -2

(x, y) = (4, -2)

The correct result would be: x = 4 and y = -2.
