Hey there! :)

Equation 1 : -5x + 3y = 2

Equation 2 : -5x - 5y = -30

Because both equations contain a like term (which in this case is 5x), we can easily subtract these equations from one another.

Subtract equation 1 from equation 2 :

-5x - (-5x) = 0

3y - (-5y) = 3y + 5y --> 8y

2 - (-30) = 2 + 30 --> 32

This leaves us with 8y = 32. Simplify this to get y by dividing both sides by 8.

8y ÷ 8 = 32 ÷ 8

Simplify.

y = 4

Now, plug in 4 for y in our first equation.

-5x + 3(4) = 2

Simplify.

-5x + 12 = 2

Subtract 12 from both sides.

-5x = 2 - 12

Simplify.

-5x = -10

Divide both sides by -5.

-5x ÷ -5 = -10 ÷ -5

Simplify.

x = 2

Therefore, our answer is :

(2, 4) where x = 2, y = 4

~Hope I helped!~

All sides of a square/cube are the same. Since this is a cube, you'll find the volume by "cubing" (get it?) 4.4m.

4.4³ or 4.4 * 4.4 * 4.4 = 85.184m³ but you can round that to 85m³

I hope that helps!

CAn you help me with ratios? Mrs. Sturkie mixed 3 quarts of blue paint and 2 quarts of red paint to make purple paint to her cla
fredd [130]
So as we already know the ratio is 3 quarts blue paint to 2 quarts red paint, also written as 3:2. if she only has 1 quart blue paint she will need half of a quart of red paint because the ratio has to remain the same amount. if you multiply one side then you must multiply the other. same goes with division. If she only has 1 quart of red paint then that shows she divided the 2 red by 2. There fore you would have to divided the 3 by 2 in order to get 1.5 which would then make the ratio 1.5:1

Think about converting 48% to an equivalent fraction in reduced form. If the denominator is 25, what is the numerator?
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

the numerator is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

since 48 is a percent, it would be put as 48/100 as a fraction. since both the numerator and denominator are divisible by 4, you can reduce the fraction into 12/25. Since the question is asking what the numerator was when the denominator was 25, the answer is 12.

D=.5*a*t^2 - solving for a<img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=d%3D.5%2Aa%2At%5E2" id="TexFormula1" title="d=.5*a*t^2" alt="d=.5*a*
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

\displaystyle a=\frac{d}{.5*t^2}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equation Solving</u>

We are given the equation:

d=.5*a*t^2

It's required to solve it for a.

Swap sides to have the letter on the left side:

.5*a*t^2=d

Divide by .5*t^2:

\mathbf{\displaystyle a=\frac{d}{.5*t^2}}
