Equation 1)  2x - 2y = 10
Equation 2)  4x - 5y = 17

Multiply ALL of equation 1 by 2.

1)  2(2x - 2y = 10)

Simplify.

1)  4x - 4y = 20
2)  4x - 5y = 17

Subtract equations from one another.

y = 3

Plug in 3 for y in the first equation.

1)  2x - 2y = 10

2x - 2(3) = 10

Simplify.

2x - 6 = 10

Add 6 to both side.s

2x = 16

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 8

------------------------------------
Check your work by plugging in 8 for x, and 3 for y into the original equations.

2x - 2y = 10 & 4x - 5y = 17

1)  2x - 2y = 10

2(8) - 2(3) = 10

Simplify.

16 - 6 = 10

10 = 10 

2)  4x - 5y = 17

4(8) - 5(3) = 17

Simplify.

32 - 15 = 17

17 = 17

Therefore, x = 8, y = 3

Find the absolute value and the opposite of the integer.
Talja [164]
The absolute value is always non-negative!

So the absolute value of 57 is 57 itself, as it's non-negative (i.e. it's positive or 0).

Opposite value is the number with a different sign: an opposite value of a positive number is negative, so here it will be -57 .

The correct answer is C.

Karley is an architect building the city pool. The larger rectangle represents the entire pool area. The smaller rectangle repre
Ahat [919]

Answer:

Area of the walkway border is 736 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle is a quadrilateral (has four sides and four angles) with two pairs of opposite and parallel sides. All angles in a rectangle are 90 degrees each. Also, opposite sides are equal.

The entire pool area has a length of 60 feet and width of 40 feet. The area of the entire pool area is:

Area of entire pool = length * width = 60 feet * 40 feet = 2400 ft²

The area of entire pool

A walkaway border of 4 ft is made around the pool area. There is a decrease of 4 ft round the sides of the pool area.

Therefore length of pool = length of entire pool area - 4 feet border at left - 4 feet border at right  = 60 ft - 4 ft - 4 ft = 52 ft

width of pool = width of entire pool area - 4 feet border at top - 4 feet border at bottom  = 40 ft - 4 ft - 4 ft = 32 ft

Therefore the pool is 52 ft × 32 ft

Area of pool = length * width = 52 ft * 32 ft = 1664 ft²

Area of the walkway border = Entire pool area - Area of pool = 2400 ft² - 1664 ft² = 736 ft²

24 is 16% of what number
Eva8 [605]
Is/of = %/100 plug the numbers in 24/x = 16/100 then cross multiply then you get 2400 = 16x so you get x by itself so you would have to divide by 16. 2400/16 = 16x/16 the 16 on the x side cancel out so you get x = 150 (I used proportions)

The ratio of boys to girls in a classroom is 5:6. If there are 55 students in total, how many more girls are there than boys?
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer: there are 5 more girls than boys.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of boys to girls in a classroom is 5:6. The total ratio is the sum of the proportion. It becomes 5 + 6 = 11

If there are 55 students in total, it means that the number of boys in the class is

5/11 × 55 = 25 boys

Also, the number of girls in the class is

6/11 × 55 = 30 girls

Therefore, the difference between the number of girls and boys in the class is

30 - 25 = 5 girls
