Which ordered pair is the solution to the system of equations? {x+3y=-12, y= 1/3x-6?

1 answer:

5 0

For this, I'll be using the substitution method. Since y = 1/3x - 6, replace the y variable in the first equation with 1/3x - 6 and solve for x:

$x+3(\frac{1}{3}x-6)=-12\\ x+x-18=-12\\ 2x-18=-12\\ 2x=6\\ x=3$

Now that we have the value of x, plug it into either equation to solve for y:

$3+3y=-12\\ 3y=-15\\ y=-5\\ \\ y=\frac{1}{3}*3-6\\ y=1-6\\ y=-5$

<h3><u>In short, the solution to this equation is (3,-5).</u></h3>

$x = 16 - 7z \\ \ \\ \ 3(16 - 7z) = 8 \\ 48 - 21z = 8 \\ - 21z = - 40 \\ z = \frac{40}{21} \\ \\ \\ y - 7( \frac{40}{21} ) = - 12 \\ y - \frac{40}{3} = - 12 \\ y = - 12 + \frac{40}{ 3} \\ y = \frac{4}{3}$

Find the exact value by using a half-angle identity.<br><br> sin(7<img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cpi%20" id="TexFormula1

$\bf sin\left(\cfrac{{{ \theta}}}{2}\right)=\pm \sqrt{\cfrac{1-cos({{ \theta}})}{2}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{7\pi }{8}\cdot 2\implies \cfrac{7\pi }{4}\qquad \qquad sin\left(\frac{7\pi }{8} \right)\implies sin\left(\cfrac{\frac{7\pi }{4}}{2} \right)
\\\\\\
sin\left(\cfrac{\frac{7\pi }{4}}{2} \right)=\pm\sqrt{\cfrac{1-cos\left(\frac{7\pi }{4} \right)}{2}}\implies 
sin\left(\cfrac{\frac{7\pi }{4}}{2} \right)=\pm\sqrt{\cfrac{1-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}{2}}$

$\bf sin\left(\cfrac{\frac{7\pi }{4}}{2} \right)=\pm\sqrt{\cfrac{\frac{2-\sqrt{2}}{2}}{2}}
\implies 
sin\left(\cfrac{\frac{7\pi }{4}}{2} \right)=\pm\sqrt{\cfrac{2-\sqrt{2}}{4}}
\\\\\\
sin\left(\cfrac{\frac{7\pi }{4}}{2} \right)=\pm\cfrac{\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2}}}{\sqrt{4}}\implies sin\left(\cfrac{\frac{7\pi }{4}}{2} \right)=\pm\cfrac{\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2}}}{2}$

Rachel enjoys exercising outdoors. Today she walked 5 2/3 miles in 2 2/3 hours. What is Rachel's unit walking rate in miles per hour and in hours per miles? 5 2/3 / 2 2/3 = 17/3 / 8/3 = 17/3 x 3/8 = 17/8 = 2 1/8 miles per hour.

Tresset [83]

We have been given that Liam makes soap sculptures of sea turtles each sculpture weighs 3/8 pounds. He ships them in a wooden box that weighs 2 pounds. The total weight of the box filled with the sea turtles is 5 pounds.

We are asked to find the number of sea turtles in the box.

First of all, we will subtract the weight of the box from total weight to find the weight of all sea turtles.

$\text{Weight of sea turtles}=\text{Total weight}-\text{Weight of box}$
