3x + y = 17 4x - y = 18

2 answers:

5 0

The two equations given are
3x + y = 17 and 4x - y = 18
Now we will first take one equation
3x + y = 17
Then
y = 17 - 3x
Now replacing the value of y in the second equation we get
4x - y = 18
4x - (17 - 3x) = 18
4x + 3x - 17 = 18
7x = 35
x = 35/7
= 5
Putting the value of x in the first equation we get
3x + y = 17
(3 * 5) + y = 17
15 + y = 17
y = 17 - 15
y = 2
So the value of x is 5 and y is 2

3x+y=17
subtract 3x on both sides
y=17-3x
substitute 17-3x for y in the second equation
4x-(17-3x)=18
7x-17=18
7x=35
x=5

and now that you know x=5 you can plug that in to either of the original equations
3(5)+y=17
15+y=17
subtract 15 from both sides
y=2

How many cubic centimeters of water can this paper cone cup hold?

blagie [28]

48π cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a cone is...

$V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h$

We can plug everything we know from the photo into the equation, but note that the picture gives us the diameter, which is 8, instead of the radius. The radius is half of the diameter, so the radius will be 4. Also we will be leaving pi as it is, instead of changing it to 3.14.

$V=\frac{1}{3}*(\pi *4*4*9)$

$V=\frac{1}{3}*(144\pi )$

V = 48π

The paper cone can hold <u><em>48π cubic centimeters</em></u> of water.

Ava borrowed some money from her friend in order to help buy a new video game system. Ava agreed to pay back her friend $2 per w

nydimaria [60]

We know that Ava is paying $2 dollars per week so if L is the money that she owes and t is the number of weeks, and I is the initial debt so we can write an equation like:

$L=I-2t$

Now we can replace the info we have to find the value of I so:

$10=I-2(5)$

and we solve for I

$\begin{gathered} I=10+10 \\ I=20 \end{gathered}$

So the final equation will be:

$L=20-2t$

175000 / 100 = 1750 this step finds 1% of 175000
1750 x 4.5 = 7875 this step finds 4.5% of 175000
Commission for first house $7875
199000 / 100 = 1990 this step finds 1% of 199000
1990 x 4.5 = 8955 this step finds 4.5% of 199000
Commission for second house $8955
$7875 + $8955 = $16,830

Kensho's commission for this quarter is $16,830
