At 1 pm, there were 16 seagulls on the beach. At 3 pm, there were 40 seagulls. What is the constant rate of change?

<span>The answer is (change of amount) / (change of time). For the change of amount, the numerator is 40 seagulls - 16 seagulls, leaving a total of 24 seagulls. For the change of time, the denominator is 3 pm - 1 pm, leaving a total of a 2 hour difference. The answer becomes 24 seagulls / 2 hours, or 12 seagulls per hour when simplified.</span>

Answer:

4x+5=2x-3 1-5

4x-2x=-3+1-5-5

2x=-2

\frac{2x}{2}  =  \frac{ - 2}{2}

x=

x =   \frac{ - 2}{2}

Solve the system. If there is more than one solution, write the general solution. x + y - 2z = 9 3x + y + 2z = 15 x - 5y + 22z =
Margaret [11]

Answer:

<h2>x = (12-k)/2, y = k, z = (k-6)/4 </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equation

x + y - 2z = 9 ... 1

3x + y + 2z = 15 ...2

x - 5y + 22z = -27... 3

First let us reduce the system of equation into two with two unknowns.

Subtracting 1 from 3

y-(-5y) + (-2z-22z) = 9-(-27)

y+5y + (-24z) = 9+27

6y-24z = 36 ... 4

Multiplying equation 1 by 3 and subtracting from equation 2

3x + 3y - 6z = 27

3x + y + 2z = 15

On subtracting both;

(3y-y)+(-6z-2z) = 27-15

2y-8z = 12 ... 5

Equating 4 and 5

6y-24z = 36 ... 4

2y-8z = 12 ... 5

Multiplying equation 5 by 3 the equation becomes;

6y-24z = 36 ... 6

6y-24z = 36 ... 7

We can see that equation 6 and 7 are the same;

let y = k

6k - 24z = 36

k - 4z = 6

4z = k-6

z = k-6/4

Substituting y = k and z = k-6/4 into equation 1 to get x

From 1; x + y - 2z = 9 ... 1

x + k -2( k-6/4) = 9

x + k - (k-6)/2 = 9

x = 9+(k-6)/2-k

x = {18+(k-6)-2k}/2

x = (12-k)/2

The solutions to the system of equations are x = (12-k)/2, y = k, z = (k-6)/4 where k is any constant. This shows that the system of equation has infinite solutions.

A rectangular gym has an area of 4x^2 ft². The school decides to add a new weight room. The total area of the gym and the weight
anygoal [31]
For this case the new area is the sum of two areas:
 Area = rectangular gym + weight room
 Area = (4x² + 520) ft²
 In addition, we know that
 rectangular gym = 4x ^ 2 ft²
 Therefore, the term 520 represents a new weight room
