The solution of the system of equations that is given is (2,-1).

Given a system of equations are 5x+y=9 and 3x+2y=4.

A system of linear equations (or linear system) is a collection of one or more linear equations involving the same variables.  A solution to a linear system is an assignment of values to the variables such that all the equations are simultaneously satisfied.

The given equations are

5x+y=9    ......(1)

3x+2y=4  ......(2)

Here, the substitution method is used to solve the system of equations.

Find the value of y from equation (1) by subtracting 5x from both sides.

5x+y-5x=9-5x

y=9-5x

To find the value of x substitute the value of y in equation (2).

3x+2(9-5x)=4

Apply the distributive property a(b+c)=ab+ac as

3x+2×9-2×5x=4

3x+18-10x=4

Combine the like terms on the left side as

-7x+18=4

Subtract 18 from both sides and get

-7x+18-18=4-18

-7x=-14

Divide both sides by -7 and get

(-7x)÷(-7)=(-14)÷(-7)

x=2

Substitute the value of x in equation (1) and get

5(2)+y=9

10+y=9

Subtract 10 from both sides

10+y-10=9-10

y=-1

Hence, the solution of system of equations 5x+y=9 and 3x+2y=4 is (2,-1).

For the perimeter you have to consider the EXTERNAL SHAPE ONLY:

a) the perimeter of half a circle WITHOUT ITS DIAMETER  is:
π.R - 2R → 3.14x1.5 - 2x1.5 → 1.71 cm

b) the perimeter of the rectangle WITHOUT THE UPPER SIDE is:
2.5+3+2.5 = 8 cm

Hence the perimeter of the figure is 1.71 + 8 = 9.71 cm

2) Area of the figure:
Area of half circle is π.R²/2 →3.14 x (1.5)²/2 → Area half circle = 3.5325 cm²
Area of rectangle = 2.5 x 3 = 7.5 cm²
Total area = 3.5325 + 7.5 = 11.0325 ≈ 11 cm²

Ms.Waddell put a 12-inch tall bucket under a leak in her sink. The bucket fills at a constant rate of 1/2 inch in every 1/6 of a
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question you will simply make a ratio type equation. You know that every 1/6 of an hour, or every 10 minutes, the bucket will fill 1/2 an inch. The bucket is 12 inches tall.

\frac{10 min}{1/2 inch} = \frac{x min}{12 inches}

Cross multiply

120=\frac{1}{2} x

x=240 min

Convert minutes to inches

\frac{240 min}{1}  * \frac{1 hr}{60 min} = 4 hr

Final answer: 4 hours

Hope this helps!

In a coffee shop "Scratch and Win" contest, one out of three cards is a winner. What is the probability that Shenice would first
jolli1 [7]

Answer: C.) 4/27

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

One out of three cards is a winner :

P(winning) = 1 / 3

Therefore, P(not winning) = P(losing) :

1 - P(winning) = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3

Probability that shenice will first win on her third try can be interpreted as:

1st try = lose, 2nd try: lose, 3rd try : win

P(losing) × p(losing) × p(winning)

(2/3) × (2/3) × (1/3)

4 / 27

Probability of first winning on third try = 4/27
