If there were 5 yes votes for every 4 no votes, there were 5 yes votes for every 9 total votes, so 5/9 of the 7911 votes were yes. 5/9*7911=4395.

Solve the system using elimination.

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

(- 9, - 9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

3x - 4y = 9 → (1)

- 3x + 2y = 9 → (2)

Adding (1) and (2) will eliminate the term in x

(1) + (2) term by term

(3x - 3x) + (- 4y + 2y) = (9 + 9)

0 - 2y = 18

- 2y = 18 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

y = - 9

Substitute y = - 9 into (1) or (2) and evaluate for x

(1) → 3x + 36 = 9 ( subtract 36 from both sides )

3x = - 27 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = - 9

Solution is (- 9, - 9)

Which equation has the solutions X=1 +-SQRT 5?

Vesna [10]

Answer:

D is correct. $x^2-2x-4=0$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the root of the equation

$x=1+\pm \sqrt{5}$

If we are given solution of the equation then find equation using formula.

If a and b are the solution of equation then equation would be (x-a)(x-b)=0

Here, $a=1+\sqrt{5} , b=1-\sqrt{5}$

Equation form would be $(x-1-\sqrt{5})(x-1+\sqrt{5})=0$

Now we simplify the above equation to get correct option.

$x^2-x+x\sqrt{5}-x+1-\sqrt{5}-x\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{5}-5=0$

$x^2-2x-4=0$

So, D is correct. $x^2-2x-4=0$

Rewrite square root of -49-4

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

$\sqrt{53i}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find $\sqrt{-49-4}$

We know that √-1 = i

Adding -49 and -4 and solving

$\sqrt{-49-4}\\\sqrt{-53}\\\sqrt{53i}$

Since 53 is not a perfect square so our answer is:

$\sqrt{53i}$
