What is the solution to the system of equations?

Mathematics

Katarina [22]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

  (b)  (-3, 2, -5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution to the system of equations will satisfy every equation. If it fails to satisfy any equation, it is not a solution.

<h3>Strategy</h3>

The system of equations does not seem to lend itself to simple solution by substitution or elimination. Hence, a reasonable strategy for finding the answer is to <em>try the offered choices</em>. Of course, a calculator can be used to find the answer almost as quickly.

<h3>Check</h3>

Using the third equation, we can check the answer choices fairly easily. That equation involves the least number of arithmetic operations. Substituting for (x, y, z), we have ...

  a) 3(1) -(11) -(5) = -13 ≠ -6

  b) 3(-3) -(2) -(-5) = -6 . . . . . . a potential solution

  c) 3(1) -(8) -(0) = -5 ≠ -6

  d) 3(-1) -(3) -(4) = -10 ≠ -6

The only viable choice is (-3, 2, -5).

<em>Check</em>

In the other two equations, we have for this solution, ...

  2(-3) -2(2) +(-5) = -15 . . . . works in the first equation

  6(-3) -3(2) -(-5) = -18 . . . . works in the second equation

Answer: options A, B and C are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Ray's daily pay,P in dollars is given by the function, p(h) = 10h with h representing the number of hours that he worked on that day. If he worked c hours on Thursday and this is 3 hours more than he worked on Friday, then the following statement is true. We substitute c and c-3 for Thursday and Friday into the given function, p(h) = 10h

A) 10c -3 represents Ray's pay in dollars on Friday.

B) 10c represents Ray's pay in dollars on Thursday.

C) p(c ) - p(c-3) represents how much more Ray's pay was on Thursday than on Friday

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall: the secant-tangent rule states that when a secant and a tangent meet at an external point of a circle, the product of the secant and the external segment is equal to the square of the tangent segment

(x)(3) = 6² (secant-tangent rule)

3x = 36

Divide both sides by 3

3x/3 = 36/3

x = 12
