35 solve the following syste

blondinia [14]

Part A: The solution is $(-0.923,5.692)$

Part B: The point $(3,7)$ is not in the solution set.

Explanation:

Part A: The given inequalities are $3 x+4 y>20$ and $x$

The solution can be determined by solving the two inequalities by substitution method.

Changing inequalities to equality, we have,

$x=3 y-18$ and $3 x+4 y=20$

Let us substitute $x=3 y-18$ in the equation $3 x+4 y=20$ , we get,

$3 (3y-18)+4 y=20$

$9y-54+4y=20$

$13y=74$

$y=5.692$

Substituting $y=5.692$ in $x=3 y-18$ , we get,

$x=3 (5.692)-18$

$=17.076-18$

$x=-0.923$

Thus, the solution set is $(-0.923,5.692)$

Part B: Now, we shall determine whether the point $(3,7)$ is in the solution set.

Let us substitute the point $(3,7)$ in the inequalities $3 x+4 y>20$ and $x$ , we get,

$3 (3)+4 (7)>20$

$9+28>20$

$37>20$

Also, substituting $(3,7)$ in $x$ , we get,

$3$

$3$

$3$

Since, the point $(3,7)$ does not satisfy one of the inequality $x$ , the solution set does not contain the point $(3,7)$

Thus, the point $(3,7)$ is not in the solution set.

Monday<br> What time is 5 3/4 hours after<br> 11:32 pm?

Marina86 [1]

bearing in mind that the an hour has 15 + 15 + 15 + 15 = 60 minutes, so 15 minutes in 1/4 of an hour, thus 45 minutes is 3/4 of an hour.

now, from 11PM, if we add the 5 hours first, we'll be at 4AM, pass midnight of course.

now let's add the minutes, 32 and then 45, that gives us 77 minutes.

so the time will be 4AM plus 77 minutes, since 60 minutes is 1 hr, so 4AM plus 1 hr and 17 minutes, that'd be 5:17AM.

Robin donated bags of grain that each weighed 403 pounds to the local food shelf. If the total weight of the grain was 160 pound

Alexxx [7]

Well.. 160 x 3 = 480. So he would've had to give only 2 bags. But he would've given a fraction of a bag, but if you're only talking whole numbers, then the answer is 2. If you're talking fractions, then the answer is 2.51875.
