Answer:

x = 5 , y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 2y = 29  ....................(1)

x + 4y = 13   Multiply this equation by -5:-

-5x - 20y = -65.................(2)

Add equations  (1) and (2):-

-18y =  -36

y =  2

Substitute for y in equation (1):-

5x + 2(2) = 29

5x = 25

x = 5

Check the results in the second equation:-

x + 4y = 13

5 + 4(2) = 13  - It checks out.

5x + 2y = 29

x + 4y = 13


First isolate one of the variables in one of the equations.

I will isolate x in the second equation (because it is the easiest to isolate) and plug it into the second equation


x + 4y = 13    Subtract 4y on both sides

x = 13 - 4y


5x + 2y = 29

5(13 - 4y) + 2y = 29    [since x = 13 - 4y, you can plug in (13 - 4y) for x]

Multiply/distribute 5 into (13 - 4y)

65 - 20y + 2y = 29

65 - 18y = 29   Subtract 65 on both sides

-18y = - 36       Divide -18 on both sides

y = 2


Now that you know y, you can plug it into one of the equations to find x

x + 4y = 13

x + 4(2) = 13

x + 8 = 13

x = 5


Your answer is C

Answer:

1428 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a rectangular prism is V = l * w * h, where V represent volume, l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.

You are given that the length is 12 inches, the width is 7 inches, and the height is 17 inches.

Solve.

V = 12 * 7 * 17

V= 1428 in³

A sphere has a volume of Vequals=3600 in cubedin3. Find its surface area.
Mice21 [21]
\bf \textit{volume of a sphere}\\\\
V=\cfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3\qquad 
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
------\\
V=3600
\end{cases}\implies 3600=\cfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3
\\\\\\
3600=\cfrac{4\pi r^3}{3}\implies \sqrt[3]{\cfrac{3\cdot 3600}{4\pi }}=\boxed{r}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
\textit{surface area of a sphere}\\\\
S=4\pi r^2\implies S=4\pi \left(\boxed{\sqrt[3]{\cfrac{3\cdot 3600}{4\pi }}}  \right)^2

John and Martha are contemplating having children, but John’s brother has galactosemia (an autosomal recessive disease) and Mart
Rina8888 [55]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Probability=\frac{1}{24}

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

As the question states,

John's brother has Galactosemia which states that his parents were both the carriers.

Therefore, the chances for the John to have the disease is = 2/3

Now,

Martha's great-grandmother also had the disease that means her children definitely carried the disease means probability of 1.

Now, one of those children married with a person.

So,

Probability for the child to have disease will be = 1/2

Now, again the child's child (Martha) probability for having the disease is = 1/2.

Therefore,

<u>The total probability for Martha's first child to be diagnosed with Galactosemia will be,</u>

Probability=\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{4}\\Probability=\frac{1}{24}

(Here, we assumed that the child has the disease therefore, the probability was taken to be = 1/4.)

<em><u>Hence, the probability for the first child to have Galactosemia is \frac{1}{24}</u></em>

T=xd+ym\\x(4)+y(100)=(120)\\x(1)+y(240)=(80)\\\\4x+960y=320\\4x+100y=120\\860y=200\\y=\frac{200}{860}\\y=\frac{10}{43}\\\\x+240(\frac{10}{43})=80\\x+\frac{2400}{43}=\frac{3440}{43}\\x=\frac{1040}{43}

x = 1040/43 = $24.19 per day.

y = 10/43 = $0.23 per mile.
