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

You are given 1000 one dollar bills and 10 envelopes. Put the bills into the envelopes in such a way that someone can ask you fo
taurus [48]

Answer:

We can do it with envelopes with amounts $1,$2,$4,$8,$16,$32,$64,$128,$256 and $489

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Observe that, in binary system, 1023=1111111111. That is, with 10 digits we can express up to number 1023.

This give us the idea to put in each envelope an amount of money equal to the positional value of each digit in the representation of 1023. That is, we will put the bills in envelopes with amounts of money equal to $1,$2,$4,$8,$16,$32,$64,$128,$256 and $512.

However, a little modification must be done, since we do not have $1023, only $1,000. To solve this, the last envelope should have $489 instead of 512.

Observe that:

  1. 1+2+4+8+16+32+64+128+256+489=1000
  2. Since each one of the first 9 envelopes represents a position in a binary system, we can represent every natural number from zero up to 511.
  3. If we want to give an amount "x" which is greater than $511, we can use our $489 envelope. Then we would just need to combine the other 9 to obtain x-489 dollars. Since x-489\leq511, by 2) we know that this would be possible.
