Answer:

x = 4/3; y = 11/3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -x + 5 and 5x + 2y = 14

Since the first equation is already solved for y, we can use the substitution method.

Substitute y of the second equation with -x + 5.

5x + 2y = 14

5x + 2(-x + 5) = 14

5x - 2x + 10 = 14

3x + 10 = 14

3x = 4

x = 4/3

Now we substitute x of the first equation with 4/3 and solve for y.

y = -x + 5

y = -4/3 + 5

y = -4/3 + 15/3

y = 11/3

Solution: x = 4/3; y = 11/3

Calculate the volume of a cylinder, radius 12.5 cm and height 14 cm

Morgarella [4.7K]

$\bf \textit{volume of a cylinder}\\\\
V=\pi r^2 h\quad 
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
h=height\\
-----\\
r=12.5\\
h=14
\end{cases}\implies V=\pi \cdot 12.5^2\cdot 14$

CAN ANYONE HELP ANSWER THIS

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The marked points on the graph show that the number of hot cocoas sold decreases by 6 when the temperature goes up by 6 degrees. That is, the line has a slope of -1. The y-intercept is 100, so the equation of the line can be written as ...

y = mx +b . . . . . line with slope m and y-intercept b

y = -x +100

Then for x = 42, the expected value of y is ...

y = -42 +100 = 58

Mei Mei can expect to sell 58 hot cocoas on a day when the high is 42°F.
