Answer:

x = -3, y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x - y = -5

x = -5 + y

Let's put this into the other equation

(-5 + y) + y = -1

-5 + 2y = -1

2y = 4

y = 2

Now we can solve for x by plugging y into either equation

x + (2) = -1

x = -3

Answer:

  (x, y) = (-3, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The two equations are recognizable as expressing the sum and difference of the two variables. Such a set of equations is easily solved by the "elimination" method.

__

<h3>eliminate y</h3>

The y-variables have opposite coefficients in the two equations, so that variable can be eliminated by adding the two equations:

  (x -y) +(x +y) = (-5) +(-1)

  2x = -6 . . . . . . . simplify

  x = -3 . . . . . . divide by 2

<h3>eliminate x</h3>

The x-variables have the same coefficient in the two equations, so that variable can be eliminated by subtracting one equation from the other. We choose to subtract the first equation so the result has a positive coefficient for y.

  (x +y) -(x -y) = (-1) -(-5)

  2y = 4 . . . . . . . simplify

  y = 2 . . . . . . divide by 2

The solution to the system of equations is (x, y) = (-3, 2).

Answer:

  11126

Step-by-step explanation:

The <em>mean</em> of a set of data is another name for its <em>average</em>. It is the sum of the data, divided by the number of numbers in the sum.

__

If you use a calculator to help you with the computation of the addition or division, you may as well use the calculator's "mean" function to do the job.

The mean of the given 6 values is their sum, divided by 6. The units of the mean are the same as those of the contributors.

  (1117 +1409 +675 +536 +1398 +1621)/6 = 6756/6 = 1126 . . . . degrees F

The mean of the data is 1126 °F.

What are the solutions of 4x2 - 8x +5 = 0 ?
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

x= {2+ i}/2 , {2- i}/2 = C

Step-by-step explanation:

4x² - 8x +5 = 0

using quadratic formula

x= {-b±√b²-4ac}/2a

x= [-(-8)±√(-8)²-4(4)(5)] /2x4 = [8±√64-80]/8= [8±√-16]/8 = {8±4 i}/8

x= {8+4 i}/8 , {8-4 i}/8

x=4 {2+ i}/8 , {2- i}/8

4 divides 8

x= {2+ i}/2 , {2- i}/2 = c

Rounded to the nearest hundred cubic meters, what is the total capacity (cone and cylinder) of the storage container?
hichkok12 [17]
The picture in the attached figure

we know that
the total capacity of the storage container=volume of a cone+volume of cylinder

step 1
find the volume of a cone
volume of a cone=(1/3)*pi*r²*h
r=6 m
h=8 m
so
volume=(1/3)*pi*6²*8-----> 301.44 m³

step 2
find the volume of the cylinder
volume of a cylinder=pi*r²*h
r=6 m
h=10 m
s6
volume=pi*6²*10----> 1130.40 m³

total volume=301.44+1130.4-----> 1431.84 m³-------> 1400 m³

the answer is
1400 m³
