Answer:
<h2>The easiest to solve for is x in the first equation</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the system of equation, x + 4 y = 14. and 3 x + 2 y = 12, to solve for x, we can use the elimination method of solving simultaneous equation. We need to get y first.
x + 4 y = 14............ 1 * 3
3 x + 2 y = 12 ............ 2 * 1
Lets eliminate x first. Multiply equation 1 by 3 and subtract from equation 2.
3x + 12 y = 42.
3 x + 2 y = 12
Taking the diffrence;
12-2y =42 - 12
10y = 30
y = 3
From equation 1, x = 14-4y
x = 14-4(3)
x = 14-12
x = 2
It can be seen that the easiest way to get the value of x is by using the first equation and we are able to do the substitute easily <u>because the variable x has no coefficient in equation 1 compare to equation 2 </u>as such it will be easier to make the substitute for x in the first equation.
Answer:
781250 
Step-by-step explanation:
Let y is the length of the farm field
Let x is the width of the farm field
Given that, no fencing is necessary along the rock wall, so we can find the perimeter of the farm is:
2x + y = 2500 feet
<=> y = 2500 -2x
The are of the farm has the following formula:
A = x*y
<=> A = x(2500 - 2x)
<=> A = 2500x -2
To have the maximum area of field in square feet, we need to use differentials to estimate:
= 2500 - 4x
Set = 0, we have:
2500 - 4x = 0
<=> x = 625 feet.
=> y = 2500 - 2*625 = 1250 feet
So the maximum area of field is:
A = x*y = 625*1250 = 781250
Answer:
18.57
Step-by-step explanation:
First you have to simplify the equation using cross-multiplication
You should get 7v=130
Then divide both sides by 7
You should get v=130/7
simplify that and get 18 4/7
Turn that into decimal form and you get 18.57
Cannot be determined
<u>Explanation</u>
The probability cannot be determined because we do not know the distribution of the population. We also do not know the number of students who are taking marketing or spanish or total number of students. Since the data is incomplete, we cannot determine the probability of students taking spanish or marketing.
Rearranging to standard form
= (x - 7)^2 + (y + 5)^2 = -65 + 49 + 25
(x-7)^2 + (y+5)^2 = 9
so the centre is at (7,-5) and the radius is 3
so the circle will be entirely in Quadrant 4.
