Answer:

x = 3 and y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

y = 2x + 3 .......................... equation i

y = -2x + 15 ........................ equation ii

since y is equals to the two functions , we can equate the two values of y . That is , equate equation i and ii , we have

2x + 3 = -2x + 15

Add 2x to both sides , we have

2x + 2x + 3 = -2x + 2x + 15

4x + 3 = 15

subtract 3 from both sides , we have

4x = 12

divide both sides by 4 , then

x = 3

substitute x = 3 into equation i to get the value of y , that is

y = 2(3) +3

y = 6 + 3

y = 9

Therefore :

x = 3 and y = 9

Answer:

x =3 and y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simultaneous equation

y = 2x + 3      is equation 1

y = -2x + 15    is equation 2

Using the elimination method, we will add the two equations together

Then, we will have

2y = 18

Note that y+y =2y, 2x+(-2x) = 0 and 3+15 =18

y = 18/2  (dividing both sides by 2)

Therefore, y = 9.

Since we know the value of y, we can substitute 9 for y in any of the equation.

Lets substitute 9 for y in equation 1, we will have

9 = 2x + 3

collecting like the like terms

9 - 3 = 2x

6 = 2x

if we divide both sides by the coefficient of x, which is 2, we will have

x = 6/2

x = 3

Therefore x = 3 and y = 9

A school bought pens, each costing $1, and pencils, each costing $0.5. The cost of the whole purchase was $220. How many pens an
Levart [38]

Answer:

200 pencils and 120 pens

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of pencils be x while pens be y.

Considering the cost of whole purchase then, we get the equation

0.5x+y=220

Considering the number of items bought, then the equation is

x-y=80

Adding the two equations then we have

1.5x=300

x=300/1.5=200

Consideeing that x-y=80 and x is 200 then

200-y=80

y=200-80=120

Therefore, the pencils were 200 and pens 120 pieces

A sector of a circle has a central angle of 100 degrees. If the area of the sector is 50pi, what is the radius of the circle
MrMuchimi

The radius of the circle having the area of the sector 50π, and the central angle of the radius as 100° is <u>6√5 units</u>.

An area of a circle with two radii and an arc is referred to as a sector. The minor sector, which is the smaller section of the circle, and the major sector, which is the bigger component of the circle, are the two sectors that make up a circle.

Area of a Sector of a Circle = (θ/360°) πr², where r is the radius of the circle and θ is the sector angle, in degrees, that the arc at the center subtends.

In the question, we are asked to find the radius of the circle in which a sector has a central angle of 100° and the area of the sector is 50π.

From the given information, the area of the sector = 50π, the central angle, θ = 100°, and the radius r is unknown.

Substituting the known values in the formula Area of a Sector of a Circle = (θ/360°) πr², we get:

50π = (100°/360°) πr²,

or, r² = 50*360°/100° = 180,

or, r = √180 = 6√5.

Thus, the radius of the circle having the area of the sector 50π, and the central angle of the radius as 100° is <u>6√5 units</u>.
