Answer: x=1; y=-5

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this system we can use differente methods, in this case we are going to use substitution:

first equation: 3x+10y=-47

second equation: 5x-7y=40

we are going to isolate x from the first equation:

3x=-47-10y

x=\frac{-47-10y}{3}

now we replace it in the second equation:

5*\frac{-47-10y}{3}-7y=40

and now we solve for y:

\frac{-235-50y}{3} -7y=40

\frac{-235-50y-21y}{3}=40

-235-71y=40*3

-235-71y=120

-71y=120+235

y=-355/71

y=-5

now we replace the value of y in the first equation and solve for x:

x=\frac{-47-10y}{3}

x=\frac{-47-10(-5)}{3}

x=\frac{-47+50}{3}

x=\frac{3}{3}

x=1

Answer:

x=1, y=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations are:

3x+10y=-47\ Eqn\ 1\\and\\5x-7y=40\ Eqn\ 2

In order to solve the equation

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 5 and eqn 2 by 3 and subtracting them

So,

Eqn 1 becomes

15x+50y=-235

Eqn 2 becomes

15x-21y=120

Subtracting 2 from a

15x+50y - (15x-21y) = -235-120

15x+50y-15x + 21y = -355

71y = -355

y = -355/71

y =-5

Putting y= -5 in eqn 1

3x+10(-5) = -47

3x -50 = -47

3x = -47+50

3x = 3

x = 3/3

x = 1

Hence the solution is:

x=1, y=-5

How many solutions does the equation have? 7x +3 - x=3(1 + 2x) (A) 0 (B) 1. (C) infinitely many​
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

C) Infinitely many

Step-by-step explanation:

7x+3-x=3(1+2x)

6x+3=3+6x

Subtract 3 from both sides

6x = 6x

Infinitely many solutions

Need help with this question; What is the measure of one leg of a right angle given that the hypotenuse measure 14cm and the oth
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

11.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of a right angled triangle can be determined using Pythagoras theorem

The Pythagoras theorem : a² + b² = c²

where a = length

b = base

c = hypotenuse

a² + 8² = 14²

a² + 64 = 196

a² = 196 - 64

a² = 132

find the square root of 132

a = 11.5 cm

What is the area of the following figure?
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

16.56‬

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the square is 2 × 2

The area of the circle is-

A=πr²

A=3.14 × 2²

A=3.14 × 4

A=12.56

You don't need to divide it by half because there are two half circles so it would be a whole circle

12.56 + 4 = 16.56

Sorry if it is wrong
