Let 2x-5y=16 and 5x+3y=9. what is the value of 12x+y

1 answer:

3 0

2x-5y=16 =>10x-25y=80
5x+3y=9 => 10x+6y=18
subtract one from the other: (6-(-25)y=(18-80), 31y=-62, y=-2
plug y=-2 in 2x-5y=16 to find x: 2x+10=16, x=3
12x+y=12*3-2=34

if joe and jim combined their hourly pay,they would have $16. jims hourly pay is $1.50 more than joes. find each bous hourly pay

evablogger [386]

Joe : x
jim : y

x+y=16
y=1.50+x

x + 1.50 + x = 16

2x = 14.5

x = 7.25

7.25 + y = 16

y= 8.75

Joe : $7.25
Jim : $8.75

kumpel [21]

Answer:

because 8/4=2

Step-by-step explanation:

4/4=1

8/4=2

it's because the numerator is bigger if it were 6/4 it would be a mixed number but the eight goes in to 4 directly 2 time so therefore it's 2.

Which expressions represent the area of the entire shaded region, including the light and dark shading? select three options. 12

Alex Ar [27]

A triangle is a polygon. The total area of the figure can be represented by 12a, (6a+b), and 2b cm².

<h3>What is a triangle?</h3>

A triangle is a polygon with 3 sides and 3 vertices.

Since the area of a single triangle is a cm², and the shape is formed of 12 triangles, therefore, the area of the 12 triangles will be equal to,

$\text{Area of the complete figure} = 12 \times a = 12a\rm \ cm^2$

Given that the area of the complete dark portion is b cm², therefore, the area of the 6 triangles with a cm² of area each, and the black portion can be written as,

$\text{Area of the complete figure} = (6 \times a)+b = (6a+b)\rm \ cm^2$

As the dark portion also consists of 6 triangles with an area of a cm² each and the total sum of this dark area is b cm². Also, the light portion consists of 6 triangles with an area of a cm². Therefore, the total area can be written as,

$\text{Total area} = 6a+6a = b+b = 2b\rm\ cm^2$

Thus, the total area of the figure can be represented by 12a, (6a+b), and 2b cm².
