Answer:

The y-value is -20

Step-by-step explanation:

So let's solve this by Elimination method;

-2(4x + 5y = -12)

4(2x + 3y = -16)

Let's Distribute;

-8x - 10y = 24

8x + 12y = -64

So x cancels out because -8 + 8 = 0

-10y + 12y = 2y

24 - 64 = -40

2y = -40

Divide both sides by 2;

y = -20

Now lets plug in y to find the value of x;

4x + 5(-20) = -12

4x - 100 = -12

Add 100 to both sides;

4x = 88

Divide both sides by 4;

x = 22

How many cubes with side lengths of 1/3 does it take to fill the prism?

Ugo [173]

Answer:

180 cubes

Step-by-step explanation:

little cubes:

$v=(\frac{1}{3} )^{3} =\frac{1}{27}$

The prism:

$v=(\frac{5}{3})(\frac{4}{3} )(2)=\frac{40}{9} =\frac{20}{3}$

the number of cubes that fill the prism:

$cubes=\frac{\frac{20}{3} }{\frac{1}{27} } =\frac{(20)(27)}{(3)(1)}= \frac{540}{3} =180$

Hope this helps

Answer:

$14,747 at 9%
$12,129 at 5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount invested at 9%. Then the difference in interest amounts is ...

(9%)x -(5%)(26876 -x) = 720.78 . . . . . assuming a 1-year investment

0.14x -1343.80 = 720.78 . . . . . . . . . simplify

0.14x = 2064.58 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 1343.80

x = 14,747 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.14

$14,747 is invested at 9%; $12,129 is invested at 5%.

7. Susan spent 30% of the money she earned mowing lawns last summer. If Susan spent $51, what was the total

KatRina [158]

Answer:

$170

Step-by-step explanation:

30% of the money was equal to 51

so:

$\frac{30}{100} = \frac{51}{x} \\ \\ x = \frac{5100}{30} = \frac{510}{3} = 170$
