Solve the simultaneous equations.

Mathematics

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

Where is the hole for the following function located?
Sholpan [36]
The hole of a function is described as the x-y coordinate wherein the denominator and numerator equates to zero. For the function f(x)= x+3/(x+4)(x+3), the common polynomial given is x-3 which can be equated to zero. Hence, 0 divided 0 means a hole in the function. If x+3 = 0, the hole of the function is at x = -3. ^w^

752/12 = 62.66 and since she can't sell a portion of a 12 pack, she sold 62 whole packages and had 2/3 of one remaining, 2/3 of 12 is 8 remaining.

PLEASE HELP!! Question is below
maria [59]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary means that the angles have a sum of 90° so we can write:

m∠A + m∠B = 90° → 3x + 2 + 8x = 90

11x + 2 = 90

11x = 88

x = 8 which means that m∠B = 8x = 8 * 8 = 64°.

Supplementary means that the angles have a sum of 180° so m∠C = 180° - m∠B = 180° - 64° = 116°.
