Answer:

The solution to the system of equations is:

x = 2, and y = -1

Explanation:

Given the pair of equations:

4x + 5y = 3 ..........................................................................(1)

2x + 3y = 1............................................................................(2)

To solve this by elimination:

Multiply equation (2) by 2, to eliminate x

Equation (2) becomes

4x + 6y = 2 .........................................................................(3)

Subtract equation (1) from (3)

4x - 4x + 6y - 5y = 2 - 3

y = -1 ....................................................................................(4)

Multiply equation (1) by 3 and equation (2) by 5 to eliminate y

Equation (1) becomes

12x + 15y = 9 .......................................................................(5)

Equation (2) becomes

10x + 15y = 5 ........................................................................(6)

Subtract equation (6) from (5)

12x - 10x + 15y - 15y = 9 - 5

2x = 4

Divide both sides by 2

x = 4/2 = 2 ............................................................................(7)

From equations (7) and (4)

x = 2, and y = -1

Two parallel lines are crossed by a transversal. What is the value of h? h = 60 h = 80 h = 100 h = 120

lisabon 2012 [21]

I added the diagram of the question.

Answer:
h = 60°

Explanation:
We are given that lines k and l are parallel lines.
This means that angles 120° and h are supplementary angles.
This means that their measures add up to 180°

Therefore:
180° = 120° + h
h = 180° - 120°
h = 60°

Hope this helps :)

Say you wanted to give someone 35000 berries, but every time you give someone berries, it takes away 30%. How could you calculat

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

What I understand is that I need to give someone an exact number so that when 30% is taken, they keep exactly 35,000

To make the statement above true, we would need to divide 35,000 by 7 since the answer would be 10% of the number we need. Once we do this we get 5000 which is 10% now we multiply 5000 by 10 to get 100% and we get 50.000 once we give this amount to the person and 30% is taken away they are left with 35,000

1 point) Are the functions f,g, and h given below linearly independent? f(x)=e3x+cos(5x), g(x)=e3x−cos(5x), h(x)=cos(5x). If the

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Functions are linearly dependent (are not linearly independent.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that two functions f(x), g(x) and h(x) are said linearly independent on an interval I if the only solution to the equation

$\alpha f(x)+\beta g(x)+\omega h(x)=0, \ \text{for all } x\in I$
