The number of decorative pillows did the realtor arrange on each twin bed and queen bed is 6 and 9 respectively.

<h3>Simultaneous equation</h3>

let

  • Number of decorative pillows for twin bed = x
  • Number of decorative pillows for queen bed = y

x + y = 15

2x + y = 21

From equation (1)

x = 15 - y

  • Substitute x = 15 - y into (2)

2x + y = 21

2(15 - y) + y = 21

30 - 2y + y = 21

- 2y + y = 21 - 30

-y = -9

y = 9

Substitute y = 9 into

x + y = 15

x + 9 = 15

x = 15 - 9

x = 6

The base of a triangle is shrinking at a rate of 1cm/min and the height if the triangle is increasing at a rate of 5cm/min. Find
lapo4ka [179]

Answer: Rate of change of Area of the triangle = 2.75cm~/min

Step-by-step explanation:

If the present height of the triangle is 22cm and the height increases by 5cm/min. It means the height was 2cm four minutes earlier: 5cm for 1st min + 5cm for 2nd min + 5cm for 3rd min + 5cm for 4th min = 20cm after 4min.

Therefore height equals 22 - 20 = 2cm four minutes earlier.

Using the same four minutes for the base. Since the base shrinks at 1cm/min, for the base to shrink to 10cm it means it was 14cm four minutes earlier.

The Area of a triangle is given by

A = 1/2 × base × height

Therefore Area= 1/2× 10×22 = 110cm~

Since it took four minutes to get to this area, the rate of change of the area will be 110÷4 = 2.75cm~/min
