Good morning ☕️

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It’s easier to isolate y in the first equation because the coefficient of y there is just 1.

the coefficient of x in the first equation is -3 and in the second equation is 2 then it’s not easy to isolate x in both equation.

solving the system:

−3x + y = 9

2x + 4y = 8

⇔

y = 3x + 9 (*)

2x + 4y = 8

now, we substitute y by 3x + 9 in equation 2:

2x + 4(3x + 9) = 8 ⇔ 14x + 36 = 8 ⇔ 14x = - 28 ⇔ x = -28/14 = -2

at this stage we substitute x by -2 in (*) to get y:

y = 3x + 9 ⇒ y = 3(-2) + 9 = -6 + 9 = 3

finally, the solution of the system is the ordered pair (-2 , 3).

Answer:

It is a chemical change ⇒ 1st answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain the statements to solve the problem

- A chemical change occurs when a new substance is formed through

a chemical reaction

- Ex: cooking an egg

- Change of reaction is the rate of reaction it can be decreases or

increasing

- A phase change is a change from one state to another without a

change in chemical composition

- Ex: Condensation: the substance changes from a gas to a liquid

- A physical change, such as a state change or dissolving, but does

not create a new substance

- Ex: Breaking a glass

* Lets solve the problem

- A piece of toast came out of the toaster very overcooked.

∵ It is like the cooking an egg

∴ It is a chemical change

Lesechka [4]

To find this answer you simply subtract eight from sixty-two, which gives you....
54!

So there are 54 student in the science club!

Hope this helps! :)

Since Irina can paint 1 room in 9 hours, that means she paints 1/9 of the room in 1 hour. Her portion of the equation would be 1/9x, with x being the number of hours she works and 1/9 of a room per hour being her speed.
Since Paulo can paint 1 room in 8 hours, that means he paints 1/8 of the room in 1 hour. His portion of the equation would be 1/8x, with x being the number of hours he works and 1/8 of a room per hour being his speed.
The equation would then be 1/9x + 1/8x = 1 (Irina's portion of the room, plus Paulo's portion of the room, equal to one whole room).
Find a common denominator. 72 is the first number that both 9 and 8 divide evenly into. Since 9*8 = 72, we multiply the top of 1/9 by 8 to convert the fraction and get 8/72x. Since 8*9 = 72, we multiply the top of 1/8 by 9 to convert the fractio and get 9/72x. We now have 8/72x+9/72x=1
17/72x=1
Divide both sides by 17/72:
17/72x ÷ 17/72 = 1÷17/72
x=1/1 ÷ 17/72
x=1/1 * 72/17
x=72/17=4.24
Together it should take them 4.24 hours.
