Answer:
x = -5
, y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve the following system:
{3 x + y = -14 | (equation 1)
-2 x - y = 9 | (equation 2)
Add 2/3 × (equation 1) to equation 2:
{3 x + y = -14 | (equation 1)
0 x - y/3 = (-1)/3 | (equation 2)
Multiply equation 2 by -3:
{3 x + y = -14 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)
Subtract equation 2 from equation 1:
{3 x+0 y = -15 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)
Divide equation 1 by 3:
{x+0 y = -5 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)
Collect results:
Answer: {x = -5
, y = 1
The formula for the perimeter is P = 2<em>w</em> + 2<em>l</em>, where <em>w</em> is the width and <em>l</em> is the length. It is given that the width = (x+2) and the length = (x+6). Therefore, we can make this equation:
P = 2<em>w</em> + 2<em>l</em>
64 = 2(x+2) + 2(x+6) ⇒ Distributive property
⇒ 64 = 2x + 4 + 2x + 12 ⇒ Combine like terms
⇒ 64 = 4x + 16 ⇒ Subtract 16 from both sides
⇒ 48 = 4x ⇒ Divide both sides by 4
⇒ x = 12
Then, we use x = 12 and substitute it in to find the length and width
<em>Width</em> = (x+2) = (12+2) = 14
<em>Length</em> = (x+6) = (12+6) = 18
The dimensions of the patio is <u>14 by 18</u>
This is the concept of algebra, we solve the question as follows:
The cost of renting a camping tent is y
The number of days is x
cost is proportional to number of days, thus:
yαx
y=kx
where k is the constant of proportionality.
If y=$56 when x=7 days, then:
56=7k
hence:
k=56/7=8
therefore:
y=kx will be:
y=8x
the equation in slope intercept form which is y=mx+c is y=8x. In our case c=0 because there was no initial payments required to rent apart from the daily charges.
First you have to make them to a common denominator.
5/6 7/12 7/10
50/60 35/60 42/60
from these the greatest value is 35/60 because 35 parts of 60 is bigger than the rest.
so the answer is 7/12
