Answer:

a = 8 2/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The y coordinate of the point is 5, andthe x coordinate is a so substituting for these in the given equation:

3a - 4(5) = 6

3a  - 20 = 6

3a = 26

a = 26/3

= 8 2/3

\huge\underline{\red{A}\blue{n}\pink{s}\purple{w}\orange{e}\green{r} -}

here , we've been given a point with coordinates ( a , 5 ) and an equation ( 3x - 4y = 6 ).

  • <u>To </u><u>determine </u> - the value of a

Coordinate geometry deals with parameters related to points over cartesian plane , where a points , say G , has two coordinates x and y.

the coordinates are written as ( x , y ) , where x is the x coordinate or abcissa and y is the y coordinate or ordinate.

for getting the solution to the question asked , let us think of <u>x </u><u>as </u><u>a </u> and <u>y </u><u>as </u><u>5</u><u>.</u>

Now ,

substituting the values of x and y in the equation ,

3x - 4y = 6 \\ \implies \: 3(a) - 4(5) = 6 \\ \implies \: 3a - 2 = 6 \\ \implies \: 3a = 6 + 20 \\ \implies \: 3a = 26 \\ \implies \: a =  \frac{26}{3}

let's once check , if we've arrived at the correct result or no.

This can be done , by putting value of x as \frac{26}{3}\\ which is the value of a.

So ,

3x - 4y = 6 \\  \\ \implies \: \cancel3 (\frac{26}{\cancel3} ) - 4(5) =  6\\  \\ \implies26 - 20 = 6 \\  \\ \implies \: 6 = 6

hence , verified !

Therefore ,

\bold\red{a =  \frac{26}{3} }\\

hope helpful :D

The answer would be 24 yards. This would be 24 because 3 feet equal one yard so 3/72 is 24 or 24•3.

shepuryov [24]

Answer: 200

Step-by-step explanation:

174 rounded to the nearest hundred is:

200

When rounding to the nearest hundred, like we did with 174 above, we use the following rules:

A) We round the number up to the nearest hundred if the last two digits in the number are 50 or above.

B) We round the number down to the nearest hundred if the last two digits in the number are 49 or below.

C) If the last two digits are 00, then we do not have to do any rounding, because it is already to the hundred.

What is the answer to 4x+y=10
Alina [70]

Answer:

y = -4x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to assume you are trying to write the equation of a line.

4x + y = 10

4x - 4x + y = 10 - 4x

y = -4x + 10
