Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to work backwards to solve this equation!

9 - 17 = -8

w / -4 = -8

32 / -4 = -8

Which means that w = 32

An oxygen tank contained 212 12/3 liters of oxygen before 27 1/3 liters were used. If the tank can hold 240 3/8 liters, how much

lukranit [14]

So, initially 240 $\frac{3}{8}$ -212 $\frac{12}{3}$ were empty:

this is :

$240 \frac{3}{8} - 212 \frac{12}{3} = 240 \frac{3}{8} - 212 +4 = 240 \frac{3}{8} - 216= 24 \frac{3}{8}$

12/4 is 4 so that's why i substituted it with 4.

now, later 27 1/3 were used so we add this tho the original empty space

$24 \frac{3}{8}+ 27 \frac{1}{3}$ = $24 \frac{9}{24}+ 27 \frac{8}{24}$ = $51 \frac{17}{24}$

which is the result!

Solve the following System of Three Equations: x−3y+z=−15 2x+y−z=−2 x+y+2z=1

SashulF [63]

Answer:

x = -3 , y = 4 , z = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{x - 3 y + z = -15

2 x + y - z = -2

x + y + 2 z = 1

Hint: | Choose an equation and a variable to solve for.

In the first equation, look to solve for z:

{x - 3 y + z = -15

2 x + y - z = -2

x + y + 2 z = 1

Hint: | Solve for z.

Subtract x - 3 y from both sides:

{z = 3 y + (-x - 15)

2 x + y - z = -2

x + y + 2 z = 1

Hint: | Perform a substitution.

Substitute z = -15 - x + 3 y into the second and third equations:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

15 + 3 x - 2 y = -2

x + y + 2 (-15 - x + 3 y) = 1

Hint: | Expand the left hand side of the equation x + y + 2 (-15 - x + 3 y) = 1.

x + y + 2 (-15 - x + 3 y) = x + y + (-30 - 2 x + 6 y) = -30 - x + 7 y:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

15 + 3 x - 2 y = -2

-30 - x + 7 y = 1

Hint: | Choose an equation and a variable to solve for.

In the second equation, look to solve for x:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

15 + 3 x - 2 y = -2

-30 - x + 7 y = 1

Hint: | Isolate terms with x to the left hand side.

Subtract 15 - 2 y from both sides:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

3 x = 2 y - 17

-30 - x + 7 y = 1

Hint: | Solve for x.

Divide both sides by 3:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

x = (2 y)/3 - 17/3

-30 - x + 7 y = 1

Hint: | Perform a substitution.

Substitute x = (2 y)/3 - 17/3 into the third equation:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

x = (2 y)/3 - 17/3

(19 y)/3 - 73/3 = 1

Hint: | Choose an equation and a variable to solve for.

In the third equation, look to solve for y:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

x = (2 y)/3 - 17/3

(19 y)/3 - 73/3 = 1

Hint: | Isolate terms with y to the left hand side.

Add 73/3 to both sides:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

x = (2 y)/3 - 17/3

(19 y)/3 = 76/3

Hint: | Solve for y.

Multiply both sides by 3/19:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

x = (2 y)/3 - 17/3

y = 4

Hint: | Perform a back substitution.

Substitute y = 4 into the first and second equations:

{z = -x - 3

x = -3

y = 4

Hint: | Perform a back substitution.

Substitute x = -3 into the first equation:

{z = 0

x = -3

y = 4

Hint: | Sort results.

Collect results in alphabetical order:

Answer: {x = -3 , y = 4 , z = 0

The population of rabbits on an island is growing exponentially. In the year 1994, the population of rabbits was 9600, and by 20

drek231 [11]

Answer:

49243

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the population of rabbits on an island is growing exponentially.

Let the population, $P=P_0e^{bt}$

where, $P_0$ and b are constants, t=(Current year -1994) is the time in years from 1994.

In 1994, t=0, the population of rabbit, P=9600, so

$9600=P_0e^{b\times 0}$

So, $P_0=9600$

and in 2000, t=2000-1994=6 years and population of the rabbit, P=18400

$18400=9600 \times e^{b\times 6} \\\\\frac{18400}{9600}=e^{b\times 6} \\\\$

$\ln(23/12}=6b \\\\$

$b = \frac{\ln{1.92}}{6} \\\\$

b=0.109

On putting the value of P_0 and b, the population of the rabbit after t years from 1994 is

$P=9600 \times e^{0.109\times t}$

In 2009, t= 2009-1994=15 years,

So, the population of the rabbit in 2009

$P=9600 \times e^{0.109\times 15}=49243$

Hence, the population of the rabbit in 2009 is 49243.

Solve 3x − x + 2 = 12. −5 4 7 5

Papessa [141]

Judging by the question I noticed that I can simplify the equation 3x-x+2=12 by one step.
The outcome of simplification should be 2x+2=12.

Next you must subtract 2 from both sides to isolate the x. The new equation should be 2x = 10.

Lastly you must divide both sides by 2, the answer you should get is x=5, D.
