What's 2x+3y=6 and x-3y=9?

1 answer:

4 0

Set up a system of equations:

2x+3y=6
x-3y=9

You can solve this with elimination by adding the two equations together:

3x+0y = 15
3x=15
x=5

Then, plug this value back into either of the original equations to find the y value:

5-3y=9
-3y=4
y= -4/3

The point of intersection is (5,-4/3)

Which one of the following is not equal to 100 meters? 0.100 kilometers 10 hectometers 10,000 centimeters 100,000 millimeters

lara31 [8.8K]

Situation: Which one of the following is not equal to 100 meters?
We were given 4 different choices with corresponding values, not let's start finding the correct answer.
=> 0.100 kilometers
1 meter = 0.001 km
100 meters = 0.1 km
=> 10 hectometers
1 meter = 0.01 hm
100 meters = 1 hm
=> 10,000 centimeters
1 meter = 100 centimeters
100 meters = 10 000 cm
=> 100,000 millimeters
1 meter = 1000 mm
100 meters = 100 000 mm
thus the not equal answer is hectometer

Problem 9

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

3:36PM

Step-by-step explanation:

Leon starts at 12PM with 12 gallons of gas, and after 2 hours he has used 5 gallons of gas. This means that every 2 hours he uses 5 gallons of gas.

Next we will find at what point Leon will stop to get gas. Since he will stop when the tank is at $\frac{1}{4}$ capacity, we can use the equation:

$\frac{1}{4} * 12 = \boxed{3}$

This shows $\frac{1}{4}$ of his tank's capacity ( $12$ ) is equal to $3$ gallons. This means he will stop for gas when $3$ gallons are remaining.

Now we need to find how many gallons of gas he uses, but as a unit rate. (This will allow us to find what time Leon will stop to get gas.) To find the unit rate, we will need to find how many gallons of gas he uses per hour.

$\frac{\mbox{5 gallons}}{\mbox{2 hours}} = \frac{\mbox{2.5 gallons}}{\mbox{1 hours}}$

This is a simple proportion, and now we know he uses $2.5$ gallons of gas per hour.

Now we can how many hours of gas Leon has left.

He has $7$ gallons of gas left at 2PM, so we can divide to find how many hours left of gas he has.

$\frac{7-3}{2.5} = 1.6$

The $7-3$ is because Leon doesn't stop when his tank is empty, he stops $3$ gallons earlier. We are dividing by $2.5$ because that is how much gas he uses per hour, meaning the result of this division ( $1.6$ ) is how many hours he has left.

Now we can solve for what time Leon will stop to get gas.

12PM + $2$ hours of driving + the remaining $1.6$ hours = 3:36PM

( $1.6$ hours is equal to 1 hour and 36 minutes)

Therefore, Leon will stop for gas at 3:36PM

Question 5^ Need help ... ASAP ... your help is really appreciated ...

goblinko [34]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

I think we had a question similar to this before. Again, let's figure out the vertical and horizontal distances figured out. The distance from C at x=8 to D at x=-5 is 13 units while the distance from C at y=-2 to D at y=9 is 11 units. (8+5=13 and 2+9=11, even though some numbers are negative, we're looking at their value in those calculations)

Next, we have to divide each distance by 4 so we can apply it to the ratio. 13/4= $\frac{13}{4}$ and 11/4= $\frac{11}{4}$ . Next, we need to read the question carefully. It's asking us to place the point in the ratio 3 to 1 from C to D. The point has to be closer to endpoint D because of this. Let's take each of our fractions, multiply them by 3, then add them towards the direction of endpoint D to get our answer (sorry if that sounds confusing):

$\frac{13}{4}*3 = \frac{39}{4}\\ 8-\frac{39}{4} = \frac{-7}{4}\\\frac{11}{4}*3 = \frac{33}{4} \\-2+\frac{33}{4} = \frac{25}{4}$

Therefore, our point that partitions CD into a 3:1 ratio is ( $\frac{-7}{4}, \frac{25}{4}$ ).

I'm not sure if there was more to #5 judging by how part B was cut off. From what I can understand of part B, however, I believe that Beatriz started from endpoint D and moved towards C, the wrong direction. She found the coordinates for a 1:3 ratio point.

Also, for #6, since a square is a 2-dimensional object, the answer needs to be written showing that. The answer for #6 is 9 units^2.
