Answer: D. (8, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 4y = 8 --------------(1)

x - y = 12--------------(2)

eqn(2) × 3

3x - 3y = 36-----------(4)

eqn(4) - eqn(1)

-7y = 28

Divide bothside by -7

y = -4

Again, multiply eqn(2) by 4

4x - 4y = 48 ---------------(5)

eqn(5) + eqn(1)

7x = 56

Divide bothside by 7

x = 8

Therefore x=8 and y=-4

STEP 1: Multiply second equation by -3.

After multiplying we have the following system:

3x+4y−3x+3y=8=−36

STEP 2: add the two equations together to eliminate x from the system.

7y=−28

STEP 3: find y

<u>y=−4</u>

<u></u>

STEP 4: substitute the value for y into the original equation to solve for x.

3x+4(−4)=8

<u>x=8</u>

Begin by clearly stating the problem; you can copy this from the problem set file. Show how you solved the problem step by step,
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:  13%

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the formula to find the simple interest :

I=Prt, where P is the principal amount , r is rate (in decimal )and t is the time period (in years).

Given : Albert borrowed $19,100 for 4 years. The simple interest is $9932.00. Find the rate.

i.e. P = $19,100 and  t= 4 years and I = $9932.00

Now, Substitute all the values in the formula , we get

9932=(19100)r(4)\\\\\Rightarrow\ r=\dfrac{9932}{19100\times4}\\\\\Rightarrow\ r=0.13\ \ \ \text{[On simplifying]}

In percent, r=0.13\times100\%=13\%

Hence, the rate of interest = 13%

Nichole's rotating sprinkler waters her lawn up to a radius of 7 feet. What is the maximum number of square feet of lawn Nichole
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

153.9 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Radius of circular lawn = 7 feets

To obtain the maximum number of square feet of lawn Nichole can expect the sprinkler to cover ; find the area of the lawn

Area of a circle, A = πr²

A = π * 7 * 7

A = 153.93804

A = 153.9 ft²
