One way to solve the system is to _____________ a variable.
Ivahew [28]

One way to solve the system is to <u>substitute</u> a variable.

<u>Explanation:</u>

One approach to solve an equation is by substitution of one variable. Right now, a condition for one factor, at that point substitute that arrangement in the other condition, and explain. All value(s) of the variable(s) that fulfills a condition, disparity, arrangement of conditions, or arrangement of imbalances.

The technique for tackling "by substitution" works by settling one of the conditions (you pick which one) for one of the factors (you pick which one), and afterward stopping this go into the other condition, "subbing" for the picked variable and fathoming for the other. At that point you back-explain for the principal variable.

A farmer is estimating the surface area of his barn to find how much paint he needs to buy. One part of the barn is triangular a
Nady [450]
We know the triangle is an isosceles triangle. So, we use the Pythagorean Theorem. 

a^2+b^2=c^2

The c would be 22, because it's the longest edge. Now find a or b. They are the same, that is how you find the two sides of the triangle for part A.

To find the area of the triangle, the forumla is a=hb/2

Plug in the numbers for that formula and the answer would be found for part B.

I hope I helped.
