Solve using elimination. 5x - 6y = 2 -5x - 5y = 20

Mathematics
1 answer:
s344n2d4d5 [400]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x = -2, y =-2

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 6y = 2

-5x - 5y = 20

Add the two equations together to eliminate x

5x - 6y = 2

-5x - 5y = 20

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

-11y = 22

Divide by -11

-11y/-11 = 22/-11

y = -2

Now we can find x

5x -6(-2) =2

5x +12 = 2

Subtract 12 from each side

5x +12-12 =2-12

5x = -10

Divide by 5

5x/5 = -10/5

x = -2

Adalyn uses 1/5 cup of blue paint for every 2/5 cup of red paint to make purple paint. Enter the number of cups of blue paint Ad
ipn [44]

Given that;

Adalyn uses 1/5 cup of blue paint for every 2/5 cup of red paint to make purple paint.

\frac{1}{5}\text{ cups of blue paint }\rightarrow\frac{2}{5}\text{ cups of red paint}

For 1 cup of red paint, the amount of blue paints Adalyn will use is;

\frac{1}{5}\text{ cups of blue paint }\rightarrow\frac{2}{5}\text{ cups of red paint}

Which equation represents a line which a perpendicular to the line y=4x-7?​
jasenka [17]

Answer:

-1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form is  y = m x+b ,

where  m  is the slope and  b  is the y-intercept.

y = m x + b

Using the slope-intercept form, the slope is  4.

4  m = 4

The equation of a perpendicular line to  

y = 4 x - 7

must have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the original slope.

I need help pretty please!
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

cos(z) = .3846153846 and angle z = 67.38°

Step-by-step explanation:

Side UV is corresponding to side YX.  Side VW is corresponding to side YZ.  Side UW is corresponding to side XZ.

Starting with the first corresponding pair, we are told that side UV is 36, and that side YX is 3/5 of that.  So side YX is

\frac{3}{5}*36=21.6

We are next told that side VW is 39, so side YZ is

\frac{3}{5}*39=23.4

In order to find the cos of angle z, we need the adjacent side, which is side XZ.  Side XZ is 3/5 of side UW.  Right now we don't know the length of side UW, so we find it using Pythagorean's Theorem:

39^2-36^2=UW^2 and

UW^2=225 so

UW = 15

Now we can say that side XZ is

\frac{3}{5}*15=9

The cos of an angle is the side adjacent to the angle (9) over the hypotenuse of the triangle (23.4) so our ratio is:

cos(z)=\frac{9}{23.4}

which divides to

cos(z) = .3846153846

If you need the value of the angle, use the inverse cosine function on your calculator in degree mode to find that

angle z = 67.38°

Write the slope intercept ​
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

b = 4,

m = 4/3,

y = 4x/3 + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see the line intercepts the x-axis in (-3,0) and the y-axis in (0,4). So, using the fact that the line equation in the slope-intercept form is:

y = mx+b

We can substitute the points we know:

→ (0,4):

y = mx+b\\\\4 = m\cdot0+b\\\\4 = 0+b\\\\\boxed{b=4}

→ (-3,0):

y = mx+b\\\\0 = -3m + 4\\\\3m = 4\\\\\boxed{m = \dfrac{4}{3}}

So, the line equation in form requested is:

\boxed{y=\dfrac{4}{3}x+4}

A potato chip company produces a large number of potato chip bags each day and wants to investigate whether a new packaging mach
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The conditions for the approximation have been met

Step-by-step explanation:

Random samples on both cases  and

p∧o proportion of bags packaged on the old machine that are damaged

p∧n sample proportion of bags packaged on the new machine that are damaged

p∧c  =  ( p∧o + p∧n ) / (nO + nN )  

p∧o = 15 %      p∧o =  0,15         nO = 150

p∧o *  nO = 0,15 *150          p∧o *  nO = 22,5

p∧n  = 8 %      p∧n  = 0,08     nN = 200

p∧n*nN  = 0,08 * 200     p∧n*nN  = 16

Both  p∧n*nN  and   p∧o *  nO    are bigger than 5

Therefore both samples are big enough for the approximation of the binomial distribution to normal distribution
