A. Alright, we want to multiply one equation by a constant to make it cancel out with the second. Since the first equation has a "blank" y, let's multiply the first equation by <em>2</em>.

3x-y=0 → 2(3x-y=0) = 6x - 2y = 0

5x+2y=22

The answer for this part would be: 6x - 2y = 0 and 5x + 2y = 22

B. So now we combine them:

6x - 2y = 0

+ + +

5x + 2y = 22

= = =

11x + 0 = 22 ← The answer

C. Now that we have the equation 11x = 22, we solve for x

11x = 22 ← Divide both sides by 11

x = 2 ← The answer

D. Now that we have x=2, we plug that back in to 5x+2y=22 and solve for y:

5(2)+2y = 22

10 + 2y = 22

2y = 12

y = 6

<u>Therefore, the solution to this problem is x = 2 and y = 6</u>

Find the 9th term of the geometric sequence whose common ratio is 1/3 and whose first term is 2.

raketka [301]

Answer:

2/6561

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometric sequence formula : $a_n=a_1(r)^n^-^1$

where an = nth term, a1 = first term , r = common ratio and n = term position

given ratio : 1/3 , first term : 2 , given this we want to find the 9th term

to do so we simply plug in what we are given into the formula

recall formula : $a_n=a_1(r)^n^-^1$

define variables : a1 = 2 , r = 1/3 , n = 9

plug in values

a9 = 2(1/3)^(9-1)

subtract exponents

a9 = 2(1/3)^8

evaluate exponent

a9 = 2 (1/6561)

multiply 2 and 1/6561

a9 = 2/6561

6. Ed drives from Jefferson to Holden, a distance of 250 miles. He then travels on to

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

The constant speed with Ed is travelling is 60 mile per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The distance cover to travel from Jefferson to Holden is (D1) 250 miles

The distance cover to travel from Holden to Paxton is (D2) 50 miles

Total time taken to complete entire journey = T = 5 hours

Let The constant speed of Ed = S mph

Time = $\frac{Distance}{Speed}$

Or, Time = $\frac{D1}{S}$ + $\frac{D2}{S}$

Or, 5 hour = $\frac{250}{S}$ + $\frac{50}{S}$

Or, 5 × S = 250 + 50

So, 5 × S = 300

∴ S = $\frac{300}{5}$

I.e S = 60 mph

Hence , The constant speed with Ed is travelling is 60 mile per hour Answer
