Answer:

x = -10.6667

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

4.5 (8 - x) + 36 = 100 - 2.5 (3 x + 24)

4.5 (8 - x) = 36 - 4.5 x:

36 - 4.5 x + 36 = 100 - 2.5 (3 x + 24)

Grouping like terms, -4.5 x + 36 + 36 = (36 + 36) - 4.5 x:

(36 + 36) - 4.5 x = 100 - 2.5 (3 x + 24)

36 + 36 = 72:

72 - 4.5 x = 100 - 2.5 (3 x + 24)

-2.5 (3 x + 24) = -7.5 x - 60:

72 - 4.5 x = -7.5 x - 60 + 100

Grouping like terms, -7.5 x - 60 + 100 = (100 - 60) - 7.5 x:

72 - 4.5 x = (100 - 60) - 7.5 x

100 - 60 = 40:

72 - 4.5 x = 40 - 7.5 x

Add 7.5 x to both sides:

7.5 x - 4.5 x + 72 = (7.5 x - 7.5 x) + 40

7.5 x - 7.5 x = 0:

7.5 x - 4.5 x + 72 = 40

Grouping like terms, 7.5 x - 4.5 x + 72 = (-4.5 x + 7.5 x) + 72:

(-4.5 x + 7.5 x) + 72 = 40

7.5 x - 4.5 x = 3 x:

3 x + 72 = 40

Subtract 72 from both sides:

3 x + (72 - 72) = 40 - 72

72 - 72 = 0:

3 x = 40 - 72

40 - 72 = -32:

3 x = -32

Divide both sides of 3 x = -32 by 3:

(3 x)/3 = (-32)/3

3/3 = 1:

x = (-32)/3

(-32)/3 = -10.6667:

Answer: x = -10.6667

The circumference of a circular field is 285.74 yards. What is the diameter of the field? Use 3.14 for it and do not round your
trapecia [35]

Answer:

The diameter is 91.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for circumference is 2*pi*radius(you can use circumference = diameter*pi too). Plug 285.74 into it. Divide both sides by 3.14, and you get 2*radius(aka the diameter) = 91

PLEASE HELP 20 POINTS<br> solve the system of equations y=-5x-7 and -4x-3y=-1 by substitution.
Ainat [17]

Answer:

Solution: x = -2; y = 3 or (-2, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equation 1:</u>  y = -5x - 7  

<u>Equation 2:</u> -4x - 3y = -1

Substitute the value of y in Equation 1 into the Equation 2:

-4x - 3(-5x - 7)  = -1

-4x +15x + 21 = -1

Combine like terms:

11x + 21 =  - 1

Subtract 21 from both sides:

11x + 21 - 21 =  - 1 - 21

11x = -22

Divide both sides by 11 to solve for x:

11x/11 = -22/11

x = -2

Now that we have the value for x, substitute x = 2 into Equation 2 to solve for y:

-4x - 3y = -1

-4(-2) - 3y = -1

8 - 3y = -1

Subtract 8 from both sides:

8 - 8 - 3y = -1 - 8

-3y = -9

Divide both sides by -3 to solve for y:

-3y/-3 = -9/-3

y = 3

Therefore, the solution to the given systems of linear equations is:

x = -2; y = 3 or (-2, 3)
