2x+4y=0
3x+y=10
So what we want to do is get y onto one side by itself using whatever equation you like.
So I'm taking 2x+4y=0 and subtracting 4y from both sides
So we end up with
2x=4y
Divide both sides by four
2/4x is 1/2 x
So we get 1/2x=y
Take this and plug it into the other equation
3x+y=10
3x+1/2x=10
Add your like terms
3 1/2x=10
Putting 3 1/2 as a mixed number we get 7/2
So..
7/2x=10
Multiply by the opposite of 7/2 on both sides
Which is 2/7 this will cancel out the left side.
So we end up with
X= 10•2/7
X=20/7
Which is 2 and 6/7 as a mixed number.

If f (x) = 8(5x-2) find f -1 (x).

saw5 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=8(5x-2)

interchanging the role of x&y

x=8(5y-2)

x=40y-16
x+16=401y
y=(x+16)/40

f-1(x)=(x+16)/10

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, what is the positive solution to the quadratic equation 0 = 2x2 + 3x – 8? Quadratic formula: x

Lynna [10]

ANSWER

1.39

EXPLANATION

The given quadratic equation is

$0 = 2 {x}^{2} + 3x - 8$

This is the same as,

$2 {x}^{2} + 3x - 8 = 0$

Comparing to

$a {x}^{2} + bx + c = 0$

We have

a=2, b=3,c=-8

Using the quadratic formula, the solution is given by:

$x = \frac{ - b \pm \: \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac} }{2a}$

We substitute the values to get,

$x = \frac{ - 3\pm \: \sqrt{ {3}^{2} - 4(2)( - 8)} }{2(2)}$

$x = \frac{ - 3\pm \: \sqrt{ 73} }{4}$

The positive root is

$x = \frac{ - 3 + \: \sqrt{ 73} }{4} = 1.39$

to the nearest hundredth.

Find the base of a parallelogram with a slant height of 7cm and an perimeter of 63 cm2

vlada-n [284]

Base of parallelogram b = 24.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

Perimeter =P= 63 cm^2

Slant Height =a= 7 cm

Base of Parallelogram =b= ?

The formula used is:

$Perimeter = 2(a+b)$

where a is height and b is base

Putting values:

$Perimeter = 2(a+b)\\63=2(7+b)\\63=14+2b\\2b=63-14\\2b=49\\b=\frac{49}{2}\\b=24.5$

So, Base of parallelogram b = 24.5 cm

Some hot dogs come in packages of 8. Why would a baker of hot dogs buns package 7 hot dog buns to a package?

Solnce55 [7]

It would either be that they Miss-counted the hot dog buns that they put into each pack or that they put 7 buns on purpose
