Answer:
a = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
The general equation for a straight line is y = mx+c, where m is the gradient/ slope, so m = -5. The first thing we need to do is find c, which we do by plugging in the x and y values that we already know: y = 7 and x = -2
7 = -5*(-2) + c
7 = 10 + c
c = 7-10 = -3
Now, we have the general equation of y = -5x -3 and we can use this to find a.
We'll treat a as x and y will be equal to 2:
2 = -5a -3
5 = -5a (Divide both sides by 5)
-a = 1 (now by -1)
a = -1
Answer:
The equations represent circles that result in the same graph.
Step-by-step explanation:
we have

Divide by -10 both sides
-----> equation A
This is the equation of a circle centered at origin with radius 
and
Divide by 5 both sides
-----> equation B
This is the equation of a circle centered at origin with radius 
equation A and equation B are equal
therefore
The system has infinite solutions, because the equations represent circles that result in the same graph.
Bob's car rental company makes you pay 10 dollars per day you rent the car and a 30 dollar insurance fee
joe's car rental company makes you pay 30 dollars per day you rent the car and a 10 dollar insurance fee
how many days do you need to rent a car for the cost for renting both are the same
bob=10x+30
joe=30x+10
set each to each other
10x+30=30x+10
subtract 10x
30=20x+10
subtract 10
20=20x
divide both sides by 20
1=x
you need to rent 1 day for them to be equal
ok so lets start of with the fact that the whole thing is 21 units.
So we do 21-9=12 so then we now know that the rectangle is 12 so then we do 12*8 units which is= 96 . Now the triangles. so the first one we know that its 8*3 and times it by 1/2 because two triangles is equal to a rectangle so the first triangle is 12 and now the second. its 9-3= 6 then its 6*8*1/2 which is equal to 24 so now the final answer is
96+12+24 which is equal to 132 so i'm guessing it 132 square units
