Let's solve this problem step-by-step

Let's set:

2x + 6y = 36 -- equation 1

x + 4y = 20 -- equation 2

(equation 2) * 2

2x + 8y = 40 -- equation 3

(equation 3) - (equation 1)

2y = 4

y = 2 -- equation 4

Plug (equation 4)'s value of y into (equation 2)

x + 4(2) = 20

x = 20 - 8

x = 12

Thus x = 12 and y = 2

Let's check, by substituting these values

$2x + 6y = 36\\2(12)+6(2) = 36\\24+12=36\\36=36\\\\x+4y=20\\12+4(2)=20\\12+8=20\\20=20$

Answer: x = 12 and y = 2

Hope that helps!

Marco has a piece of wood that measures 9 x 1/10 + 6 x 1/100 + 4 x 1/1000 how can this measurement be written as a decimal? you

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The decimal number is 0.964

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$9(\frac{1}{10})+ 6(\frac{1}{100})+4(\frac{1}{1,000})$

step 1

Multiply each fraction by the whole number

$(\frac{9}{10})+ (\frac{6}{100})+(\frac{4}{1,000})$

step 2

Convert each fraction in a decimal number

Remember

Move the decimal point to the left as many places as there are zeros in the factor.

Move the decimal point one step to the left (10 has one zero).

Move the decimal point two steps to the left (100 has two zeros)

Move the decimal point three steps to the left (1000 has three zeros)

$0.9+0.06+0.004$

step 3

Adds the number

$0.964$

Suppose it takes 4 hours for a certain strain of bacteria to reproduce by dividing in half. If 70 bacteria are present to begin

Sauron [17]

Answer:

1 day: 4480

2 days: 8960

3 days: 13440

$f^{-1}(x) = \sqrt{\frac{x -4}{4}}$ ---- function inverse

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$f(x) = 70 \cdot 64x$

Solving (a): The amount present after 1 day.

Here, $x =1$

So:

$f(1) = 70 \cdot 64*1= 4480$

Solving (b): The amount present after 2 days.

Here, $x =2$

So:

$f(2) = 70 \cdot 64*2= 8960$

Solving (c): The amount present after 3 days.

Here, $x = 3$

So:

$f(3) = 70 \cdot 64*2= 13440$

Solving (d): The inverse function of:

$f(x)= 4x^2 + 4$

Replace f(x) with y

$y= 4x^2 + 4$

Swap x and y

$x= 4y^2 + 4$

Rewrite as:

$4y^2 = x -4$

Divide by 4

$y^2 = \frac{x -4}{4}$

Take square roots

$y = \sqrt{\frac{x -4}{4}}$

Replace y with function inverse

$f^{-1}(x) = \sqrt{\frac{x -4}{4}}$

A boat travels 300.4 kilometers in 11 hours (with a constant speed) how much time will it take traveling 240 kilometers

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

The boat travels (300.4 km / 11 hours) which is 27.30909091 kilometers per hour, So it would take 240 / 27.30909091 hours or 8.78828229 hours. (Which rounds off to 8.79 hours)
