-2x + 6y = 6

6y - 6 = 2x

6(y-1) = 2x

(1/2) * 6(y-1) = 2x * (1/2)

x = 3(y-1)

------------

If, x = 3(y-1),

-7 * 3(y-1) + 8y = -5

-21 * (y-1) + 8y = -5

-21y + 21 + 8y = -5

21 + 5 = 21y - 8y

26 = 13y

y = 26/13

Therefore: y=2.

----------

If y=2,

x = 3(2-1) = 3

-----------

Answers:

x=3 and y=2.

Assume the world catch of fish in 1950 was 12 million tons and in 1955 it was 96 million tons.

Rama09 [41]

The rate of change is 16.8 million tons per year

Solution:

Given that, the world catch of fish in 1950 was 12 million tons and in 1955 it was 96 million tons

The average rate of change is given by formula:

$\text{ Average rate of change } = \frac{\text{ change in value }}{\text{ number of years }}$

Value in 1950 = 12 million tons

Value in 1955 = 96 million tons

Change in value = value in 1955 - value in 1950

Change in value = 96 million - 12 million = 84 million tons

Number of years = 1950 to 1955 = 5 years

Substitute the given values in formula,

$\text{ Average rate of change } = \frac{84 \text{ million tons}}{5} = 16.8 \text{ million tons}$

Thus rate of change is 16.8 million tons per year

The 3kg object in Figure is released from rest at a height of on a curved frictionless ramp.

yanalaym [24]

The object compresses the spring up to 0.8577m.

<h3>What is Potential Energy?</h3>

Potential Energy is the energy possessed by an object at rest.

The object is falling from the rest and it is assumed that the friction on the ramp is zero and the air resistance is also considered to be zero so only the gravitational force acts and the total potential energy gets converted to Kinetic Energy.

The total amount of potential energy at the top of the ramp is given by

Ep=mgh

Ep=3 * 9.81 *5

Ep=147.15 Joules

This is equal to kinetic energy.

From the formula for elastic potential energy

The distance up to which the spring is compressed is determined

The force constant = 400N/m

147.15 =(1/2)k(x²)

294.3=(400)(x²)

0.73575=x²

x=0.8577 m

So, the object compresses the spring up to 0.8577m.

When the object compresses the spring, the potential energy of the spring is converted into Kinetic Energy so it will push the object back again.
