Given the system of equations, what is the solution?

1 answer:

4 0

We can do the elimination method to find the solution for this problem. The elimination method involves adding the two equations together to get rid of a like term.

x + 2y = 7
+ x - 2y = -1
—————————
2x = 6

Now that we eliminated 2y because they cancel out, we are left with 2x = 6. Divide both sides by 2 in order to get x.

The answer is: x = 3.

Now that we know the numerical value of x, all we have to do is plug x into either system of equation in order to find the numerical value of y.

x + 2y = 7

3 + 2y = 7

2y = 4

y = 2

The solution to the problem is (3, 2).

Answer:

Uche's pumping rate is 300 mL/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Uche pumps gasoline at a rate of 18 L/min.

Now, to find Uche's pumping rate in mL/s.

The rate at which Uche pumps gasoline = 18 L/min.

So, to get the pumping rate in mL/s we use convert L/min to mL/s by using conversion factor:

1 L/min = 16.6667 mL/s.

18 L/min = 16.6667 × 18 mL/s.

18L/min = 300 mL/s.

Therefore, Uche's pumping rate is 300 mL/s.

The answer I believe is the third choice.
3, -2, -7, -12
These all fit into f(n)-5=f(n+1)

Solve x2 – 10x + 25 = 35 for x.

Galina-37 [17]

$x^2-10x+25=35\\\\x^2-2\cdot5\cdot x + 5^2=35\ \ \ |\text{use:}\ (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\\\\(x-5)^2=35\to x-5=\pm\sqrt{35}\ \ \ |+5\\\\\boxed{x=5-\sqrt{35}\ \vee\ x=5+\sqrt{35}}$
