The solution to given system of equations is (x, y) = (2, -1)
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given system of equations are:
-1x + 2y = -4 -------- eqn 1
4x + 3y = 5 ------- eqn 2
We can solve the above system of equations by elimination method
<em><u>Multiply eqn 1 by 4</u></em>
4(-1x + 2y = -4)
-4x + 8y = -16 ------ eqn 3
<em><u>Add eqn 2 and eqn 3</u></em>
4x + 3y = 5
-4x + 8y = -16
( + ) --------------------
0x + 11y = -16 + 5
11y = -11
y = -1
<em><u>Substitute y = -1 in eqn 1</u></em>
-1x + 2(-1) = -4
-x -2 = -4
-x = -4 + 2
-x = -2
x = 2
<em><u>Check the answer:</u></em>
Substitute x = 2 and y = -1 in eqn 2
4x + 3y = 5
4(2) + 3(-1) = 5
8 - 3 = 5
5 = 5
Thus the obtained answer is correct
Thus the solution to given system of equations is (x, y) = (2, -1)
Answer:
Perimeter = 17a
Area = 30 square meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter = 2b + 8 = 10b + 5 + a = 15ab + 2a - b = 17a
Area = 2 + 8 = 10 + 2 = 12 × 5 = 60 simplify
I honestly don't know if this is correct, I hope it is
3/4 Of X(Capacity) = 18 Gallons
X = 18*4/3
= 6*4
= 24 Gallons
Capacity of Tank = 24Gallons
Let m and h represent hours Mai spends mowing and hauling, respectively. Then (m+h) will be the number of hours Priya spends babysitting. In order for their earnings to be equal, we must have
7m +14h = 8.40(m+h)
Subtract 7m+8.40h: 5.60h = 1.40m
Divide by 1.40: m = 4h
Then the total number of hours worked by either person is
m + h = (4h) +h = 5h
When only whole numbers of hours are worked, the smallest number of hours that will make earnings equal is 5h, with h=1, or 5 hours. In that time, each will earn 5×$8.40 = $42.
Therefore, each of them must work 5 hours and earn $42 before they go to the movies and Mai will work 4 hours mowing and 1 hour hauling.
