Answer:

Silk = x = 1.5 yards

Cotton = y = 2.75 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 4.25

16.90x + 4y = 36.35

1. The solution to the equation represent number of yards of silk and number of yards of cotton bought.

x + y = 4.25 (1)

16.90x + 4y = 36.35 (2)

Multiply (1) by 4

4x + 4y = 17 (3)

16.90x + 4y = 36.35 (2)

Subtract (3) from (2)

16.90x - 4x = 36.35 - 17

12.90x = 19.35

Divide both sides by 12.90

x = 19.35 / 12.90

= 1.5

x = 1.5 yards

Substitute x = 1.5 yards into (1)

x + y = 4.25

1.5 + y = 4.25

y = 4.25 - 1.5

= 2.75

y = 2.75 yards

Silk = x = 1.5 yards

Cotton = y = 2.75 yards

Help me with geometry plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Natalija [7]

Answer:

x = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle's sum is 180 degrees, hence

6x + 10 + x + 17 + 4x - 34 = 180.

11x + 10 + 17 - 34 = 180

11x - 7 = 180

11x = 187

x = 17

hope this helps and is right!! p.s. i really need brainliest :)

Is -2/3(12b - 6 + 9b - 18) equivalent to 2b(b + 8)? Show your work.

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

No, they are not equivalent

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{-2}{3}(12b - 6 + 9b - 18) = \frac{-2}{3}(12b + 9b - 6 - 18)\\\\=\frac{-2}{3}(21b - 24)\\\\ = \frac{-2}{3}*21b -24*\frac{-2}{3}\\\\= -2*7b + 8*2\\\\= 2( -7b + 8)$

The equation $y=-4.9t^2+3.5t+5$ describes the height (in meters) of a ball thrown upward at $3.5$ meters per second from $5$ met

Georgia [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The position function is

$s(t)=-4.9t^2+3.5t+5$ and if we are looking for the time t it takes for the ball to hit the ground, we are looking for the height of the ball when it is on the ground. Of course the height of anything on the ground is 0, so if we set s(t) = 0 and solve for t, we will find our answer.

$0=-4.9t^2+3.5t+5$ and factor that however you are currently factoring in class to get that

t = -.71428 seconds or

t = 1.42857 seconds (neither one of those is rational so they can't be expressed as fractions).

We all know that time will never be a negative value, so the time it takes this ball to hit the ground is

1.42857 seconds (round how you need to).
