Answer:

x=3/2, y=-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+4y =1

3x-5y =7

We will use elimination to solve these

Multiply the first equation by 3

3(2x+4y =1) 6x +12y =3

Multiply the second equation by -2 so that the x coefficients are the opposites of each other (6 and -6)

-2(3x-5y =7) -6x +10y =-14

Add the two new equations together

6x +12y =3

-6x +10y =-14

--------------------

0 + 22y = -11

Divide each side by 22

22y/22 = -11/22

y = -1/2

Now we can substitute y=-1/2 into the first equation and solve for x

2x + 4y =1

2x +4(-1/2) =1

2x -2 =1

Add 2 to each side

2x-2+2=1+2

2x=3

Divide by 2

2x/2 =3/2

x = 3/2

I need help with this question. i keep having trouble

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles <JKL, <EKL, and <JKE form a full angle which means their sum is equal to 360:

134 + 21x + 6 + 5x = 360 add like terms

140 + 26x = 360 subtract 140 from both sides

26x = 220 divide both sides by 26

x = 8.4 approximately

to find the angle m<JKL replace x with the value we found.

How do I translate the product of h and 4 is subtracted from one-fifth of x is 35 to an equation?

kolezko [41]

So we know that the word 'product' means multiplication, and that means that h and 4 are being multiplied. Also, one-fifth of x is another way of saying that one-fifth is being multiplied with x. So then we can construct the equation:

$\frac{1}{5} x-(4*h)=35$

And we can then simplify this by taking out the multiplication sign:

$\frac{1}{5}x-4h=35$

And so since we do not know what x or h is equal to, this is as far as we can go.

Compare the average rate of change for both functions over the interval [0,3].

Verizon [17]

So find g(0) and g(3)
G(0) = 0^2 -5(0) +3 = 3
And g(3) = 3^2 - 5(3) +3 = 9 - 15 + 3 = 3 so there is no change in g(x) for that interval.

H(0) = 8(0) + 10 = 10
And h(3) = 8(3) + 10 = 34
So the change in h(x) for that interval is 24.

Alex purchased a new car for $28,000. The car's value depreciates 7.25% each year. What will be the value of the car 5 years aft

Zanzabum

The value would be 28,000*(1-0.0725)*(1-0.0725)*(1-0.0725)*(1-0.0725)*(1-0.0725)
which is 28,000*0,9275 $^{5}$
which equals 28,000*0.6863=$19,219
