Answer: x=-4, y=-7
Problem:
4x-6y = 26
5x-4y=8
You can use substitution or elimination to solve the problem. I’m going to use elimination.
Multiply by -2 => -8x+12y = -52
Multiply by 3 => 15x- 12y = 24
Add those equations together:
7x=-28
x=-4
Plug that into one of the original equations to get y.
4(-4)-6y=26
-16 - 6y=26
-6y=42
y=-7
Check for the other equation to see if this is true. Which in this case it is. So that’s your answer. x=-4, y=-7
There are 4 students who have piercings both on their ear and their noses.
You are trying to solve the length of the house. Let x equal the length of the house. The length of the house is 2 1/2, or 2.5 times its width. The width of the house is 30 feet.
Your equation should look like this:
x = 30(2.5)
Mutiply 30 ft. times 2.5 to get 750 ft.
x = 750 ft.
Don't forget to use your unit of measurement in the answer! You are working in feet.
Answer:
A = 27π units²
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that a central angle of 120 degrees corresponds to 1/3 of a full circle.
The area of the full circle is A = πr², or A = π(9 units)² = 81π units², and so
the area of the sector in question is 1/3 of that, or A = 27π units²
0.09
one tenth of 0.9 is 0.9 divided by 10, which means moving the decimal point one place to the left
= 0.09
