X is the number
sum means add

sum of half a number and 4 means
(x/2)+4
result is -16

(x/2)+4=-16
minus 4 both sides
x/2=-20
times 2 both sides
x=-40
the number is -40

For each ordered pair, determine whether it is a solution to the system of equations.
-Dominant- [34]

The only ordered pair that is a solution to the given system of equations is (-2, -6)

<h3>System of Linear Equations </h3>

From the question, we are to determine if each ordered pair is a solution to the given system of equations

The given system of equations is

-9x + 2y = 6

5x - 3y = 8

  • For (7, 9)

That is,

x = 7, y = 9

Putting the values into the first equation

Is -9(7) + 2(9) = 6

-63 + 18 = 6

-45 ≠ 6

Thus, (7,9) is not a solution

  • For (0, 3)

That is,

x = 0, y = 3

Putting the values into the first equation

Is -9(0) + 2(3) = 6

0 + 6 = 6

6 = 6

The ordered pair satisfies the first equation

Testing for the second equation

Is 5(0) - 3(3) = 8

0 - 9 = 8

-9 ≠ 8

Thus, (0, 3) is not a solution

  • For (5, -4)

That is,

x = 5, y = -4

Putting the values into the first equation

Is -9(5) + 2(-4) = 6

-45 - 8 = 6

-53 ≠ 6

Thus, (-5,4) is not a solution

  • For  (-2, -6)

That is,

x = -2, y = -6

Putting the values into the first equation

Is -9(-2) + 2(-6) = 6

18 - 12 = 6

6 = 6

The ordered pair satisfies the first equation

Testing for the second equation

Is 5(-2) -3(-6) = 8

-10 + 18 = 8

8 = 8

The ordered pair satisfies the second equation

∴ The ordered pair that is a solution to the system of equations is (-2, -6)

Hence, the only ordered pair that is a solution to the given system of equations is (-2, -6)

If all the dimensions of the rectangular pyramid are multiplied by 1/5, what is the effect on the volume
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

If all the dimensions of the rectangular pyramid are multiplied by 1/5, the volume will be 125 times smaller.

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangular pyramid has the following dimensions:

length(l), height(h) and width(w)

The volume is:

V = \frac{l*h*w}{3}

If all the dimensions of the rectangular pyramid are multiplied by 1/5

Then we have that:

l = \frac{l}{5}, w = \frac{w}{5}, h = \frac{h}{5}

The modified volume will be:

V_{M} = \frac{\frac{l}{5}*\frac{w}{5}*\frac{h}{5}}{3} = \frac{\frac{l*w*h}{125}}{3} = \frac{l*h*w}{125*3} = \frac{1}{125}(\frac{l*h*w}{3}) = \frac{V}{125}

So

If all the dimensions of the rectangular pyramid are multiplied by 1/5, the volume will be 1/125 of the original, that is, 125 times smaller.

A 1200 kg car rolling on a horizontal surface has speed v = 50 km/h when it strikes a horizontal coiled spring and is brought to
tangare [24]
When the car is moving, it has Kinetic Energy. As soon as the car entercount with the spring, its Kinetic Energy will transfer to Elastic Potential Energy. 

<span>KE = EPE </span>
<span>1/2mv^2 = 1/2kx^2 </span>

<span>change the speed into m/s </span>
<span>50 km/hr = 13.9 m/s </span>

<span>1/2(1200)(13.9)^2 = 1/2k(2.2)^2 </span>

<span>now you do the math to solve for k.
k= 115926/2.42
K= 47903.30</span>
