The coefficients of x are already opposites, so you can simply add the two equations to eliminate x.

... (-7x +3y) + (7x -2y) = (14) + (-14)

... y = 0 . . . . . . . simplify

... -7x + 3·0 = 14 . . . . substitute the value of x into the first equation

.. x = 14/(-7) = -2

The solution is (x, y) = (-2, 0).

A rectangular paperboard measuring 20in long and 16in wide has a semicircle cut out of it, as shown below.Find the area of the p

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer: 219.52 inch^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the dimensions of rectangular papaerboard:

Length = 20inches

Width = 16inches

Area of rectangle = Length × width

Area of rectangle = 20 × 16 = 320 in^2

Area of a circle = pi*r^2

Therefore, area of semicircle = (pi*r^2) / 2

Diameter of circle = width of rectangle = 16 inches

Radius = diameter / 2 = 16 /2 = 8inches

Therefore, area of semicircle = (pi*8^2) / 2

= (3.14 × 64) / 2

= 200.96 / 2

= 100.48 inch^2

Therefore, area of paperboard left :

Area of rectangle - area of semicircle

320 - 100.48

= 219.52 inch^2

Deffense [45]

Answer:

$1 \dfrac{1}{4} \ liters$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Claire uses 2 liters of paint to cover 1 3/5 doors

Then in order for her to paint 1 door, She will need:

2 L = 1 3/5 door

x L = 1 door

$x (L) = \dfrac{2 L \times 1 door }{ 1 \dfrac{3}{5} \ door}$

$x (L) = \dfrac{2 L }{ 1 \dfrac{3}{5} }$

$x (L) = \dfrac{2 L }{ \dfrac{8}{5} }$

$x (L) = \dfrac{2 L\times 5 }{ 8 }$

$x (L) = \dfrac{10 \ L }{ 8 }$

$x(L) =1 \dfrac{1}{4} \ L$
