3x-12y = 5
-x+3y = 9

First step is to make the coefficient of either x or y same.

3x-12y = 5
(-x+3y = 9)3

3x-12y = 5
-3x+9y = 27

-4y = 32
y = -8

The second one is the correct equation. The constant to the right should be the diameter squared, while the numbers inside the parentheses should be the opposite.

$\displaystyle\frac{n^2-10n+24}{n^2-13n+42}-\frac{9}{n-7}=\frac{(n-6)(n-4)}{(n-6)(n-7)}-\frac{9}{n-7}\\\\=\frac{n-4}{n-7}-\frac{9}{n-7}=\frac{n-4-9}{n-7}\\\\=\frac{n-13}{n-7}$

The last choice is appropriate.

Find the volume of the prism

leva [86]

Using the formula given for area:

Area = 1/2 (7 +5)4 = 1/2(12)4 = 24 square cm.
