The greek mathematician eratosthenes (ca. 276–195 b. c.) measured the circumference of the earth from the following observations. he noticed that on a certain day the sun shone directly down a deep well in syene (modern aswan). at the same time in alexandria, 500 miles north (on the same meridian), the rays of the sun shone at an angle of 7.2° to the zenith. use this information to find the radius andcircumference of the earth.

Arrange the steps to solve this system of linear equations in the correct sequence. x + y = -2 2x – 3y = -9 tiles subtract 3x + 3y = -6 (obtained in step 1) from 2x – 3y = -9 (given) to solve for x. substitute the value of x in the first equation (x + y = -2) to get y = 1. the solution for the system of equations is (-3, 1). x = -15 the solution for the system of equations is (-15, 13). add 3x + 3y = -6 (obtained in step 1) to 2x – 3y = -9 (given), and solve for x. x = -3 substitute the value of x in the first equation (x + y = -2) to get y = 13. multiply the first equation by 3: 3(x + y) = 3(-2) 3x + 3y = -6.
