Equation 1: 4a + 6b = 10

*Subtract 6b on the right side of the equation
4a = 10 - 6b

*Divide 4 on the right side of the equation, leaving the variable all by itself
a = 10 - 6b / 4
a = (5 - 3b) / 2

Equation 2: 2a - 4b = 12

*Substitute (5 - 3b) / 2 for 'a' in the second equation
2(5 - 3b) / 2)) - 4b = 12

*Combine like terms
5 - 3b - 4b = 12
5 - (-7b) = 12

*Subtract 5 to both sides
5 - 5 - (-7b) = 12 - 5
-7b = 7

*Divide -7 to both sides
-7b / -7 = 7 / -7
b = -1

*Substitute -1 for 'b' 
2a - 4(-1) = 12
2a + 4 = 12

*Subtract 4 to both sides
2a + 4 - 4 = 12 - 4
2a = 8

*Divide 2 to both sides
2a / 2 = 8 / 2
a = 4

12a = ?

*Substitute 4 for 'a'
12(4) = 48

12a = 48

12a=x
4a+6b=10
2a+3b=5
2a-4b=12
a-2b=6
2a+3b+1=a-2b
a+5b+1=0
a=-1-5b

2(-1-5b)+3b=5
-2-10b+3b=5
-2-7b=5
-7b=7
7b=-7
b=-1

-1-5*-1=a
-1+5=a
4=a

4*12=48
12a=48

Hope this helps :)

What is the circumference of a circular swimming pool with a diameter of 6 ½ feet? (use 22 over 7 as pi)
trapecia [35]

Answer:

10.21 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

circumference of circle with diameter d is given by \pi d

where r is the radius of the circle.

_____________________________

given

diameter = 6 1/2 = 13/2 feet

\thus, circumference of circle is calculated as following

circumference = \pi *13/2 = 22/7 * 13/2\\circumference = 11*13/7*2 = 143/14 = 10.21

Thus, circumference of given circle is 10.21 feet.

15 points for someone who can answer & explain this to me thanks
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{9}{a^2+9a+20} , \frac{7a}{a^2+11a+28}

Factor the denominators of both fractions

\frac{9}{(a+4)(a+5)} , \frac{7a}{(a+4)(a+7)}

The lowest common denominator of both fractions is (a + 4)(a + 5)(a + 7)

Multiply numerator/denominator of first fraction by (a + 7)

Multiply numerator/denominator of second fraction by (a + 5 )

\frac{9(a+7)}{(a+4)(a+5)(a+7)} , \frac{7a(a+5)}{(a+4)(a+5)(a+7)} , then

\frac{9a+63}{(a+4)(a+5)(a+7)} , \frac{7a^2+35a}{(a+4)(a+5)(a+7)}

I REALLY NEED HELP!
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The compound interest formula is A = P (1+r/n)^nt where:

  • P is the starting amount called the principle
  • r is the rat written as a decimal
  • n is the number of times compounded in a year
  • t is the number of years

Substitute a value into each variable to solve.

  • P = $147 since 10% of 1,470 is being invested which makes P = 0.10(1470) = 147.
  • The rate is 3.5% or r = 0.035.
  • n = 12 because it is compounded monthly meaning 12 times a year.
  • t = 25 since it will earn for 25 years.

A = P (1+r/n)^{nt}\\A = 147(1 + \frac{0.035}{12})^{12*25}\\A = 147 ( 1 + 0.002916)^{300}\\A = 147(1.002916)^{300}\\A = 352.19

Repeat this process for each formula.
