Answer: 40
Step-by-step explanation: first make the ratio into a fraction, 2/3
then make 24 into a fraction with the numerator as a variable and the denominator as 24, x/24
then cross multiply 2 and 24.
2x24=48
then divide 48 by 3, 16.
last add the number of lollipops to 16 and the answer is 40.
Y = 2x - 3 . . . (1)
y = -2x + 5 . . . (2)
Equating (1) and (2),
2x - 3 = -2x + 5
2x + 2x = 5 + 3
4x = 8
x = 8/4 = 2
x = 2
y = 2(2) - 3 = 4 - 3 = 1
y = 1
Solution = (2, 1)
Answer:
c (0,-4)
Step-by-step explanation:
-5x+y = -4
4x - 4y =16
Solve the first equation for y since we are using substitution.
-5x+y = -4
Add 5x to each side
-5x+5x+y = -4+5x
y = 5x-4
Substitute this equation y = 5x-4 into the second equation.
4x -4(5x-4) = 16
Distribute the -4
4x - 4(5x) -4(-4) = 16
4x-20x +16 = 16
Combine like terms
-16x +16 =16
Subtract 16 from each side
-16x+16-16 = 16-16
-16x =0
Divide by -16
x=0
But we still need to find y
y = 5x-4
y = 5(0) -4
y = -4
Equation a^2 + b^2 = c^2
c = longest side, unknown
The answer is D.
12^2 + 10^2 = c^2
