There are various ways to solve this. I will solve by elimination which seems easier:
I multiply the top equation by 1/2 to get 1/4y so I can eliminate y:
-3x/8 + 1y/4 = -1 Now add the second equation:
1x/5 - 1y/4 = -6 This gives:
------------------------------------
-3x/8 + 1x/5 = -7 Get a common denominator:
-15x/40 + 8x/40 = -7 Now add fractions:
-7x/40 = -7 Multiply by the reciprocal(-40/7):
x = 7 × 40 / 7 Simplify:
x = 40.
Now plug in 40 for x in one of the equations and solve for y (2nd equation looks easier):
1(40)/5 - 1y/4 = -6
8 - y/4 = -6 subtract 8
-y/4 = -14 multiply by 4
-y = -56
y = 56.

So we got x=40 and y=(56) new lets check!
-3(40)/4 + (56)/2 = -2
-3(10) + 28 = -2
-30 + 28 = -2
-2 = -2.

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

7.28 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagorean theorem, $a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}$ , we get:

$2^{2}+7^{2}=c^{2}\\4+49=c^{2}\\53=c^2\\\sqrt{53}=c\\c=\sqrt{53}$

$\sqrt{53}$ ≈ 7.28

The value of 12pi over 10pi times 5pi Over 6pi is closest to the whole number (blank). Find the blank

lisov135 [29]

Given:

The expression is

$\dfrac{12\pi}{10\pi}\times \dfrac{5\pi}{6\pi}$

To find:

The value of the given expression closest to the whole number.

Solution:

We have,

$\dfrac{12\pi}{10\pi}\times \dfrac{5\pi}{6\pi}$

Cancel out the common factors from each fraction.

$=\dfrac{6}{5}\times \dfrac{5}{6}$

$=\dfrac{6\times 5}{5\times 6}$

$=\dfrac{30}{30}$

$=1$

Therefore, the value of the given expression is 1.

Ruth has a beaker containing a solution of 800 mL of acid and 200 mL of water. She thinks the solution is a little strong, so sh

NISA [10]

Answer:

350 mL of water

Step-by-step explanation:

Well she starts with 200mL of water and there is 800 mL of acid of water.

She drains 100 mL of acid and adds 100 mL of water so there is 300 mL of water.

And she stirs meaning the compounds have mixed.

Then she drains 100 mL and she they are mixed she drains half of acid and half of water so she has 250 mL of water.

The she adds 100 mL of water so now there’s 350 mL of water left.
