Mathematics

Answer:

x = 0

y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

12x - 5y = -20

y = x + 4

Substitute x + 4 for y in the first equation

12x - 5(x + 4) = -20

Expand the bracket

12x -5 X x - 5 x 4 = -20

12x - 5x - 20 = -20

7x - 20 = -20

Add 20 to both sides to eliminate -20 on the left side

7x - 20 + 20 = -20 + 20

7x = 0

Divide both sides by 7 to isolate x

7x/7 = 0/7

x = 0

Substitute 0 for x in either equation to get y

Using equation 2, we have

y = x + 4

= 0 + 4

= 4

x = 0

y = 4

There are 4 semicircles, each radius is 8cm, so we get the total areas of these semicircles: 4×0.5×8^{2}π
and the square area: 16²
so the total area of figure: 16²+4×0.5×8^{2}π=256+128π

Where should Jenna insert parentheses to make the equation true? 2 + 4.5+ 1 = 26​
swat32
The best thing I can think of is
((2)(4))(.5+1)=(2)(6)
because (2*4)(1.5)= 8*1.5
= 12
and 2*6 =12
and 12=12

I hope this is right and I hope it helps!

If someone could work out the first half of the problem and explain that would be great!
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

x = -5

y = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

If you multiply the top equation by negative 2, you can add it to the bottom equation and cancel out the x:

-2(-x + 5y = -20) --> 2x - 10y = 40

Add this to the bottom equation top to bottom:

2x - 10y = 40

-2x + 4y = -10

You get:

-6y = 30

Then solve for y:

y = -5

Plug this back in for either equation and solve for x:

-x + 5(-5) = -20

-x -25 = -20

-x = 5

x = -5

Your answers are:

x = -5

y = -5

There are 99 males and 121 females participating in a marathon. What percent of the participants are female?​
ioda

To do this, we first want to see how many participants there are in total by adding both males and females.

99+121=220

Now we know that there were 220 total participants, but only 121 were females.

This allows us to set up the fraction 121/220= the percent female.

\frac{121}{220} =0.55

or 55%
