Answer:

one solution (9/2 ; -1/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

hello :

the system is :

x+y/4=1/2

x-3y/3=2

means : 2(x+y)=4

x-3y = 6

so : x+y = 4 ...(*)

x-3y =6 ....(**)

by (*) : x = 4-y and by (**) : x = 6+3y

so : 6+3y = 4-y

4y =-2 so y = -1/2

x = 4 - (-1/2) = 9/2

Answer:

x+y/4 = 1/2

x-3y/3 = 2

move variables to one side:

multiply the first equation by 4 to get: x+y =2

and the second equation by 3 to get: x-3y =6

then subtract the equations to cancel out x:

x+y = 2

- x-3y = 6

then u get

y--3y = 2-6

4y = -4

y=-1

substitute to solve for x:

x-1 / 4 =1/2

x-1 = 2

x=3

check:

3+-1

2/4= 1/2

correct!!!

What is the ratio of a to b 9/17= 3a/ a+b 3/14 6/17 13/17 50/9

Anarel [89]

Answer:

3/14

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the ratio of a to b, or a/b

9/17 = 3a/ (a+b)

Multiply each side by 17

17*9/17 =17* 3a/ (a+b)

9 = 51 a/ (a+b)

Multiply each side by (a+b)

9 (a+b) = 51a

Distribute the 9

9a +9b = 51a

Subtract 9a from each side

9a-9a +9b =51a-9a

9b = 42a

Divide each side by b

9b/b = 42a/b

9 = 42a/b

Divide each side by 42

9/42 = a/b

But we can simplify 9/42 because each is divisible by 3, so divide 9 and 42 by 3

3/14 = a/b

Help with Both questions pls

vodomira [7]

Answer:

1.) Proportion is about the ratio of part of something out of a whole. Percentage is similar because it tells you the ratio of something out of a whole.

2.) No, tip amount is more than what the waiter usually receives

Step-by-step explanation:

2.) The amount of tip the waiter receives = 20% of total money.

therefore 20% of 47.20 = 20/100 * 47.20 = $9.44;

$11 > $9.44

Finding the areas of each of the rectangles and squares of the net of a rectangular prism and adding up those areas gives the su

Juliette [100K]

Complete question is;

Finding the areas of each of the rectangles and squares of the net of a rectangular prism and adding up those areas gives the surface area or total surface area of the prism. For example, if the length of one side of the cube 4 units then the area of one its face is 4 × 4 = 16 square units. From the net, we can see that there are six equal faces and so we get the total surface area is 6 × 16 = 96 square units.

Find the total surface area of the rectangular prism attached.

Answer:

72 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

From the rectangular prism attached, we can see that it has 6 sides.

Now, each side has a mirrored part which is of same dimensions with it.

Thus, unfolding to get a net, we have;

2 faces with dimension: 3cm × 6cm

2 faces with dimension: 2cm × 6 cm

2 faces with dimension: 2cm × 3cm

Thus,total surface area is;

2(3cm × 6cm) + 2(2cm × 6cm) + 2(2cm × 3cm) = 36 + 24 + 12 = 72 cm²
