x – 2y = 4
ax– 6y = 12
The second equation must has a value for a that makes the second equation equal to the first. In other words a has to be something that divides through the second equation to get the first.
The easiest way to proceed is to look at the right hand side. One equation has 12 on the right. The other has 4. What do you have to do to 12 to get it down to 4. I suppose you could subtract 8, but that would not apply to the left side.
The answer is divide 12 by 3.
If you do that then the 6 is divided by 3.
Find a
Now you need to consider a's value. It is either 1 or 3. If you choose 1, you will not be able to divide properly: dividing by 3 will leave you with 1/3.
The thing you must do is make a = 3
The second equation then becomes
3x - 6y = 12 Divide everything by 3
x - 2y = 12/3 = 4
Answer: a = 3
Answer:
$10
Step-by-step explanation:
1.50 divided by 3 = 0.50
0.50 x 20 = 10
Answer:
Approximately 338,000 people live in that area.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve this problem we first need to find the area of the region, since it's delimited by a 7 miles radius, then we can assume it's a circular region. The area of the circle can be calculated by the following formula:
area = pi*r² = 3.14*(7)² = 153.86 miles²
Since the region has a density of 2200 people per square mile and the density is given by the formula:
density = number of people / area
We can find the number of people living in the region by doing:
number of people = density*area
Applying the data from the problem:
number of people = 2200*(153.86) = 338,492 people
