By substitution, the solution of the system of equations, 4x + 2y = 7 and y = 5x, is (1/2 , 5/2).

A system of linear equations is a set of two or more equations which includes common variables. To solve system of equations, we must find the value of the unknown variables used in the equations that must satisfy both equations.

There are three methods that can be used to solve system of linear equations.

1. Elimination

2. Substitution

3. Graphing

Using substitution method, given two linear equations in x and y,

4x + 2y = 7 (equation 1)

y = 5x (equation 2)

Since the second equation is already expressed in y in terms of x, substitute the second equation to the first equation.

4x + 2y = 7 (equation 1)

4x + 2(5x) = 7

4x + 10x = 7

Combining all terms containing the variable x on one side and the constants on the other side of the equality, and solving for x.

4x + 10x = 7

14x = 7

x = 1/2

Substitute the value of x in the second equation and solve for y.

y = 5x

y = 5(1/2)

y = 5/2

Hence, the solution of the given system of equations is (1/2 , 5/2).

The height, h, in feet of a rock above the ground is given by the equation h = -16t^2 + 24t + 16, where t is the time in seconds

boyakko [2]

The rock will hit the ground at 2 seconds.

Explanation:

Given that the height, h, in feet of a rock above the ground is given by the equation $h=-16t^2+24t+16$ , where t is the time in seconds after the rock is thrown.

We need to determine the time at which the rock will hit the ground.

To determine the time, let us equate the height h = 0 in the equation $h=-16t^2+24t+16$ , we get,

$0=-16t^2+24t+16$

Switch sides, we have,

$-16 t^{2}+24 t+16=0$

Let us solve the equation using the quadratic formula.

Thus, we have,

$t=\frac{-24 \pm \sqrt{24^{2}-4(-16) 16}}{2(-16)}$

Simplifying, we get,

$t=\frac{-24 \pm \sqrt{576+1024}}{-32}$

$t=\frac{-24 \pm \sqrt{1600}}{-32}$

$t=\frac{-24 \pm 40}{-32}$

Hence, the two values of t are

$t=\frac{-24 + 40}{-32}$ and $t=\frac{-24 -40}{-32}$

Simplifying the values, we get,

$t=\frac{16}{-32}$ and $t=\frac{-64}{-32}$

Dividing, we get,

$t=-\frac{1}{2}$ and $t=2$

Since, t cannot negative values, we have,

$t=2$

Thus, the rock will hit the ground at 2 seconds.

A rectangular deck is 12 ft by 14 ft. When the length and width are increased by the same amount, the area becomes 288 sq . By h

julia-pushkina [17]

Well to get the area of 288 the dimensions would be a couple of things but 16 ft by 18 ft seems to work, so the dimensions increase by 4 ft on each side.

12+4=16
14+4=18

18*16=288
