X + y = 3
x - y = -5

We can solve using substitution
x + y = 3
subtract x to isolate y
y = 3 - x
substitute it into the second expression
x - y = -5
x - 3 + x = -5
combine like terms
2x - 3 = -5
add 3 to both sides
2x = -2
divide both sides by 2
x = -1

now to find y

x + y = 3
-1 + y = 3
add 1 to both sides
y = 4

Answer:

33,333 ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

A pyramids volume can be defined by V=lwh/3. We know the base is 1000 ft^2, so we multiply that by an additional 100 for the height. We then have 100,000 ft^3. After that, we simply divide it by three, which is 33,333.3 repeating, and round it to 33,333 ft^3

sergij07 [2.7K]
<span>a) 1 +2 +3 +4 +......+98
98 +97 +96 +95+......+1
sum 99 +99 +99 +99+......+99
there are 98 of these sums, the total is 98 * 99 = 9702, since this sum is twice the sum of the numbers 1 thru 98, we have
sum 1 +2 +3 +4 +.....98 = 9702/2 = 4851

b) 1 +3 +5 +7+.....+1003
1003 +1001 + 999 +997 +....+1
sum 1004 +1004 +1004 +1004 +..1004
There are 502 of these sums. the total is 502 * 1004 = 504008, since this sum is twice the sum of the numbers 1 +3 +5 +7 +....1003, we have
sum 1 +3 +5 +7+.....+1003 = 504008/2 = 252004</span>
