Given,

The linear pair of the equation is,

$\begin{gathered} 3x+y=-7 \\ 4x-y=14 \end{gathered}$

Required

The solution of the linear equation.

Taking the equation first as,

$\begin{gathered} 3x+y=-7 \\ y=-7-3x \end{gathered}$

Substituting the value of y in second equation then,

$\begin{gathered} 4x-y=14 \\ 4x+7+3x=14 \\ 7x+7=14 \\ 7x=7 \\ x=1 \end{gathered}$

Substituting the value of x in first equation then,

$\begin{gathered} 3x+y=-7 \\ 3(1)+y=-7 \\ y=-7-3 \\ y=-10 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the solution of the system is (1, -10).

Find the fifth term of a sequence whose first term is 8 and common ratio is 3/2

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Option c. 81/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Fifth term: a5=?

First term: a1=8

Common ratio: r=3/2

an=a1*r^(n-1)

with n=5

a5=a1*r^(5-1)

a5=a1*r^4

Replacing the known values:

a5=8*(3/2)^4

a5=8*(3)^4/(2)^4

a5=8*81/16

Simplifying: Dividing the numerator and denominator by 8:

a5=(8*81/8)/(16/8)

a5=81/2

Answer: Option c. 81/2

The back of Dante's property is a creek. Dante would like to enclose a rectangular area, using the creek as one side and fencing

Allushta [10]

The correct value is 720 ft of fencing.

Answer:

Max Area = 64800 sq.ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A square will always give us the maximum area.

Thus, one side would be;

720/4 = 180 feet

So, we want a square 180 ft by 180 ft

however, from the question, we are to use the creek as one side. So, we'll take the 180 ft that we don't need because of the creek and then add it to the opposite side to get 180 + 180 = 360 ft.

Thus,we now have a rectangle with dimensions: 180 ft by 360 ft

Area is given by;

area = length × width

Maximum Area = 180 × 360

Max Area = 64800 sq.ft

Gina rides her bike to work at an average of 10.4 miles per hour. She bikes 1.2 hours each day. How many miles does Gina ride ea

tatiyna

So 10.4mi = 1 hour

We need to find out how many miles 1.2 hours is.

1.) Well, the first step would be to multiply 1.2 on both sides of:
10.4mi = 1 hour

because that would make this number of miles is = to 1.2 hours which is wha we're looking for

1.2(10.4) mi = 1.2 hour

2.) Simplify
12.48 mi = 1.2 hour

3.) That means Gina rides 12.48 miles each day if she rides for 1.2 hours each day at a pace of 10.4 miles per hour :)

A textbook search committee is considering

Number of ways to select 3 books from 13 books for adoption is 286 .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

A Permutation is an ordered Combination. When the order does matter it is a Permutation. There are basically two types of permutation:

Repetition is Allowed: such as the lock above. It could be "333".

No Repetition: for example the first three people in a running race. You can't be first and second.

Formula is given by:

$nC_r= \frac{n!}{r! (n-r)!}$ , where n is the number of things to choose from, and we choose r of them, no repetitions, order matters. Here , n=13 , r=3.
