Adding rational numbers:

Mathematics
1 answer:
Elza [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

First, in standard notation, we must define our zero.

In this case, would make sense to define the zero in the surface of the water.

(below is a number line so you can see the process to think this)

Then if the whale is swimming 60ft bellow the surface of the water, then the first position of the whale is:

-60

Now the whale goes up 30ft, then the new position of the whale is:

-60ft + 30ft = -30ft.

The correct option is A:

The equation is -60 + 30 = -30. The whale is 30 feet below the water's surface.

(you wrote that the equation was equal to +30 instead of -30 in the option A, i supposed that it was a typo)

Help pleaseeeeeee, I need help
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

15, 60, and 61

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to find the 3rd side length from 2 side length chosen. So let’s pick 8 meters and 11 meters, to find the third side length we use the Pythagorean theorem: c^2 = a^2 + b^2

c = 11^2 + 8^2 = 121 + 64 = 185 = 13.6

13.6 isn’t one of the answers so we can’t pick 11 & 8. Let’s try 11 & 15:

c = 15^2 + 11^2 = 225 + 121 = 346 = 18.6

18.6 isn’t one of the answers either. Let’s try 15 & 60:

c = 60^2 + 15^2 = 3600 + 225 = 3825 = 61.85

61.85 might be it but let’s try one more just in case:

c = 60^2 + 61^2 = 3600 + 3721 = 7321 = 85.6

Nope! That means 15, 60, and 61 are the answer. I hope this is correct!

I'd really appreciate some help on these questions, I'm really struggling

We can use linear combinations of the equations to eliminate variables.

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

To eliminate y we'll make the linear combination of 3 times the first equation minus four times the second. 

9x - 12y = 3
-8x + 12y = 4

Adding,
x = 7

We could solve for y directly but let's use another linear combination, twice the first plus three times the second:

2(3x - 4y) + 3(-2x + 3y)= 2(1)+3(1)

y = 5

Check: 3(7)-4(5)=1 good.   -2(7)+3(5)=1 good.

Q18 Answer: (7,5)

y = -3x + 5
5x - 4y = -3

4y +1(5x - 4y) = 4(-3x + 5) + 1(-3)

5x = -12x + 20 -3

17 x = 17

x = 1
y = -3(1) + 5 = 2
Check: 5(1) - 4(2) = -3 good

Q19 Answer (1,2)

6x + 5y = 25
x = 2y + 24
6x = 12y + 144
5y = 25 - 12y - 144
17y = -119
y = -119/17= -7
x = 2y+24= 10
Check: 6(10)+5(-7)=25 good   2y+24=2(-7)+24=10=x good

Q20 Answer (10,-7)


3x + y = 18
-7x + 3y = -10
9x  + 3y = 54
9x - -7x = 54 - -10
16x = 64
x=4
y = 18 -3x = 18-12=6

Check: 3(4)+6=18 good,  -7(4)+3(6)=-10 good

Q21 Answer: (4,6)

What’s this i forgot how to do it
Mumz [18]
X and y intercepts. So x intercept is where y=0 and y intercept is where x=0. Also positive or negative meaning where y>0 (positive) and where y<0 (negative). Use these hints to do it. If you can’t then just let me know...
