The number of boxes renita and Vanessa has unpacked each is 6 and 9 boxes respectively.

<h3>Equation</h3>

Number of boxes renita has unpacked = x
Number of boxes Vanessa has unpacked = 2x - 3
Total boxes both unpacked = 15

x + (2x - 3) = 15

x + 2x - 3 = 15

3x = 15 + 3

3x = 18

x = 18/3

x = 6

Therefore,

Number of boxes renita has unpacked = x

= 6 boxes

Number of boxes Vanessa has unpacked = 2x - 3

= 2(6) - 3

= 12 - 3

= 9 boxes

Pls solve the simultaneous equation in the attachment.

Answer:

Part a) The solution is the ordered pair (6,10)

Part b) The solutions are the ordered pairs (7,3) and (15,1.4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) we have

$\frac{x}{2}-\frac{y}{5}=1$ ----> equation A

$y-\frac{x}{3}=8$ ----> equation B

Multiply equation A by 10 both sides to remove the fractions

$5x-2y=10$ ----> equation C

isolate the variable y in equation B

$y=\frac{x}{3}+8$ ----> equation D

we have the system of equations

$5x-2y=10$ ----> equation C

$y=\frac{x}{3}+8$ ----> equation D

Solve the system by substitution

substitute equation D in equation C

$5x-2(\frac{x}{3}+8)=10$

solve for x

$5x-\frac{2x}{3}-16=10$

Multiply by 3 both sides

$15x-2x-48=30$

$15x-2x=48+30$

Combine like terms

$13x=78$

$x=6$

<em>Find the value of y</em>

$y=\frac{x}{3}+8$

$y=\frac{6}{3}+8$

$y=10$

The solution is the ordered pair (6,10)

Part b) we have

$xy=21$ ---> equation A

$x+5y=22$ ----> equation B

isolate the variable x in the equation B

$x=22-5y$ ----> equation C

substitute equation C in equation A

$(22-5y)y=21$

solve for y

$22y-5y^2=21$

$5y^2-22y+21=0$

Solve the quadratic equation by graphing

The solutions are y=1.4, y=3

see the attached figure

<em>Find the values of x</em>

For y=1.4

$x=22-5(1.4)=15$

For y=3

$x=22-5(3)=7$

therefore

The solutions are the ordered pairs (7,3) and (15,1.4)

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line shown. (-4,0) and (1,-5)

Irina18 [472]

The slope intercept form is y = -x - 4

To find the slope intercept form given a couple of points, start by finding the slope using the slope equation.

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (-5 - 0)/(1 - -4)

m = -5/5

m = -1

Now we look for the intercept using slope intercept form, our slope and a point.

y = mx + b

0 = -4(-1) + b

0 = 4 + b

-4 = b

Now we can use those two things top model the equation.

y = -x - 4

Which is equivalent to..... algebra II engenuity

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is second option option

9¹/⁸ ˣ

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Points to remember</u>

<u>Identities</u>

ᵃ√x = = x¹/ᵃ

√x = x¹/²

(xᵃ)ᵇ = xᵃᵇ

<u>To find the correct option</u>

It s given that,

(⁴√9)¹/² ˣ

By using the above identities we can write,

(⁴√9)¹/²ˣ = (9¹/⁴)¹/²ˣ [ since ⁴√9 = 9¹/⁴]

= 9⁽¹/⁴ * ¹/²⁾ ˣ

= 9¹/⁸ ˣ

Therefore the correct answer is second option option

9¹/⁸ ˣ
