24= x+y
X= 3y-8
24= 3y-8+y
24=4y-8
32=4y
Y=8
X=16

Dimensional Analysis Method (also called conversion factor or unit analysis) (Appendix D: Dimensional Analysis, Page 397) o The
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

The dimensional analysis method uses equivalences written in <u>fractional</u> form. Because the numerator and denominator of the fraction are equivalent, the value of the fraction is <u>1.</u> Multiplying by 1 does not change the quantity, but using an equivalence will change the units (or label). In order for units to cancel they must be in <u>the numerator and the denominator</u> of the fraction

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimensional analysis is a method of problem solving that takes into consideration the identity property of multiplication whereby the product of a number and 1 will always give the same number, that is 1 × n = n whereby the value "n" remains the same after the multiplication

Therefore, a fraction of two equivalent measurements but different units has a value of 1, and multiplying the equivalent fraction with another measurement with the same unit as the denominator of the fraction with a value of 1 changes the unit to that of the unit of the numerator

Geometry: Line QS bisects angle PQR. Solve for x and find the measure of angle PQR.
Kazeer [188]

It is given in the question that,

Line QS bisects angle PQR. Solve for x and find the measure of angle PQR.

And

m \angle PQS = 2x+1&#10;\\&#10;m \angle RQS = 4x-15

Since QS bisects angle PQR, therefore

m \angle PQS = m \angle RQS

Substituting the values, we will get

2x+1=4x-15&#10;\\&#10;1+15 = 4x-2x&#10;\\&#10;2x = 16&#10;\\&#10;x = 8

Which ordered pairs are solutions to the inequality 2y−x≤−6 ?
Vinil7 [7]
Given inequality: 2y−x ≤ −6

Option-1 : (-3,0)
2×0 - (-3) = 0 + 3 = 3 > -6
Not satisfied

Option-2 : (6,1)
2×1 - 6 = 2 - 6 = -4 > -6
Not satisfied

Option-3 : (1, -4)
2×(-4) - 1 = -8 - 1 = -9 < -6
Satisfied.
Thus, (1, -4) is a solution.

Option-4 : (0, -3)
2×(-3) - 0 = -6 - 0 = -6 = -6
Satisfied.
Thus, (0, -3) is a solution.

Option-5 : (2, -2)
2×(-2) - 2 = -4 - 2 = -6 = -6
Satisfied.
Thus, (2, -2) is a solution.

Solutions are: (1, -4), (0, -3) , (2, -2)

Ramona's backyard is fenced and represented by parallelogram YARD with measures in meters. She installed a 12-meters fence to se
Alisiya [41]
The fencing line x is the height of a rectangle triangle of base = y, hypothenuse of 9 m, so we use Pythagoras theorem to solve:

hyp^2 = height^2 + base^2
9^2 = x^2 + y^2
x^2 = 81 - y^2


we can see that x is also the height of another rectangle triangle of base = 15 - y, hypothenuse of 12 m, so we use Pythagoras theorem to solve:
hyp^2 = height^2 + base^2
12^2 = x^2 + (15 - y)^2

lets expand:
144 = x^2 + 225 - 30y + y^2

substitute x^2 from the first equation in the last:
144 = 81 - y^2 + 225 - 30y + y^2
144 = 81 + 225 - 30y
30y = -144 + 81 + 225
y = 5.4 m

substitute in the fence equation:
x^2 = 81 - y^2
x^2 = 81 - 5.4^2
x = 7.2 m that is the length of the fence
