Berta worked to solve a system of equations. 4x + y = –5 x – y = –5 Step 1: ??? Step 2: x = –2 Step 3: 4(–2) + y = –5 Step 4: –8 + y = –5 Step 5: y = 3 Berta determined that the solution is (–2, 3). Which could have been the equation Berta found in step 1? 4x = 0 5x = 10 5x = –10 5x = –25

Answer this two poles, ab and ed, are fixed to the ground with the of ropes ac and ec, as shown: two right triangles abc and edc have a common vertex c. angle abc and edc are right angles. ab is labeled 13 feet, ac is labeled 15 feet, ec is labeled 10 feet, and ed is labeled 4 feet.what is the approximate distance, in feet, between the two poles? 11.14 feet16.65 feet14.35 feet15.59 feet
