Answer:

x = 1/6 , y = 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system: using substitution:

{11 x - 7 y = -4

{-14 x - 2 y = -4

Hint: | Choose an equation and a variable to solve for.

In the first equation, look to solve for x:

{11 x - 7 y = -4

{-14 x - 2 y = -4

Hint: | Isolate terms with x to the left hand side.

Add 7 y to both sides:

{11 x = 7 y - 4

{-14 x - 2 y = -4

Hint: | Solve for x.

Divide both sides by 11:

{x = (7 y)/11 - 4/11

{-14 x - 2 y = -4

Hint: | Perform a substitution.

Substitute x = (7 y)/11 - 4/11 into the second equation:

{x = (7 y)/11 - 4/11

{-14 ((7 y)/11 - 4/11) - 2 y = -4

Hint: | Expand the left hand side of the equation -14 ((7 y)/11 - 4/11) - 2 y = -4.

-14 ((7 y)/11 - 4/11) - 2 y = (56/11 - (98 y)/11) - 2 y = 56/11 - (120 y)/11:

{x = (7 y)/11 - 4/11

{56/11 - (120 y)/11 = -4

Hint: | Choose an equation and a variable to solve for.

In the second equation, look to solve for y:

{x = (7 y)/11 - 4/11

{56/11 - (120 y)/11 = -4

Hint: | Isolate terms with y to the left hand side.

Subtract 56/11 from both sides:

{x = (7 y)/11 - 4/11

{-(120 y)/11 = -100/11

Hint: | Solve for y.

Multiply both sides by -11/120:

{x = (7 y)/11 - 4/11

{y = 5/6

Hint: | Perform a back substitution.

Substitute y = 5/6 into the first equation:

Answer:  {x = 1/6 , y = 5/6

A rectangle has length 72 cm and width 56 cm. The other rectangle has the same area as this one, but its width is 21 cm. What is
Ira Lisetskai [31]

The length of the rectangle is = 72 cm

The width of the rectangle is = 56 cm

Area of the rectangle is = length*width

= 72\times56=4032 cm²

As given, the other rectangle has the same area as this one, but its width is 21 cm.

Let the length here be = x

4032=x*21

x=\frac{4032}{21}=192

Hence, length is 192 cm.

We can see that as width decreases, the length increases if area is constant and when length decreases then width increases if area is constant.

So, in the new rectangle,constant of variation=k is given by,

\frac{192}{72}=\frac{8}{3} or \frac{56}{21}=\frac{8}{3}

Hence, the constant of variation is \frac{8}{3}

Suppose we want to choose colors, without replacement, from the colors red, blue, green, and purple.
DerKrebs [107]

The number of ways when the choice is not relevant is 4

<h3>How to determine the number of ways?</h3>

The number of colors are:

Colors, n = 4

The color to choose are:

r = 3

<u>Relevant choice</u>

When the choice is relevant, we have:

Ways = ^nP_r

This gives

Ways = ^4P_3

Evaluate

Ways = 24

Hence, the number of ways when the choice is relevant is 24

<u>Not relevant choice</u>

When the choice is not relevant, we have:

Ways = ^nC_r

This gives

Ways = ^4C_3

Evaluate

Ways = 4

Hence, the number of ways when the choice is not relevant is 4

Brian bought a new air conditioning unit on his credit card. The unit had a base price of $435. Brian made no other purchases on
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

D is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Unit base price: $435

Credit Card interest rate, i = 9.4% compounded monthly; i = 0.00783/month comp monthly

n = 1.5 years = 18 months

sales tax = 8.51%

First, determine the actual price of the unit by adding the sales tax to the base price of the unit:

$435 * (1 + 0.0851)

Actual price = $472.0185

So, the total amount paid by Brian should be higher than the actual price since he used his credit card. Use the formula from economics:

F = P (1+i)^n

F = $507.96

Therefore, the total amount paid by Brian is $507.96.

(Hope this helps can I pls have brainlist (crown) ☺️)
