Answer:

No, the piece of Wood will not follow.

a) Volume = 0.00105 m³

b) Density of Wood = 1200 kg/m³

Step-by-step explanation:

For the piece of wood to float on salt water, the density of the wood should be less than 1030kg/m³

First we'll calculate the volume of the piece of wood, which later we'll use to find the density.

<h3>a) Volume of Wood</h3>

Volume is given by 7 cm × 10 cm × 15 cm

Convert all the values into meters.

7 cm = 7/100 = 0.07 m

10 cm = 10/100 = 0.10 m

15 cm = 15/100 = 0.15 m

Calculate Volume:

Volume = 0.07 m × 0.1 m × 0.15 m

Volume = 0.00105 m³

<h3>b) Density of Wood</h3>

Formula for density is given by

Density = Mass / Volume

Where

Volume = 0.00105 m³

Mass =  1260 g = 1260/100 = 1.260 kg

Density = 1.260 kg/0.00105 m³

Density of Wood = 1200 kg/m³

As Density of Wood ≥ Density of Salt water , the piece of Wood will not float.

  • Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define Systems</u>

y = -3x - 2

5x + 2y = 15

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

<em>Substitution</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>y</em>:                     5x + 2(-3x - 2) = 15
  2. Distribute 2:                          5x - 6x - 4 = 15
  3. Combine like terms:            -x - 4 = 15
  4. Isolate <em>x</em> term:                      -x = 19
  5. Isolate <em>x</em>:                               x = -19

<u>Step 3: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>

  1. Define original equation:                    y = -3x - 2
  2. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                                     y = -3(-19) - 2
  3. Multiply:                                                y = 57 - 2
  4. Subtract:                                               y = 55
