Answer:

A) (-17+5k,17-4k)

B)  (-4+3k,4-2k)

C) No integer pairs.

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this, I'm going to use Euclidean's Algorithm.

4x+5y=17

5=4(1)+1

4=1(4)

So going backwards through those equations:

5-4(1)=1

-4(1)+5(1)=1

Multiply both sides by 17:

4(-17)+5(17)=17

So one integer pair satisfying 4x+5y=17 is (-17,17).

What is the slope for this equation?

Let's put it in slope-intercept form:

4x+5y=17

Subtract 4x on both sides:

     5y=-4x+17

Divide both sides by 5:

      y=(-4/5)x+(17/5)

The slope is down 4 and right 5.

So let's show more solutions other than (-17,17) by using the slope.

All integer pairs satisfying this equation is (-17+5k,17-4k).

Let's check:

4(-17+5k)+5(17-4k)

-68+20k+85-20k

-68+85

17

That was exactly what we wanted since we were looking for integer pairs that satisfy 4x+5y=17.

Onward to the next problem.

6x+9y=12

9=6(1)+3

6=3(2)

Now backwards through the equations:

9-6(1)=3

9(1)-6(1)=3

Multiply both sides by 4:

9(4)-6(4)=12

-6(4)+9(4)=12

6(-4)+9(4)=12

So one integer pair satisfying 6x+9y=12 is (-4,4).

Let's find the slope of 6x+9y=12.

6x+9y=12

Subtract 6x on both sides:

      9y=-6x+12

Divide both sides by 9:

       y=(-6/9)x+(12/9)

Reduce:

       y=(-2/3)x+(4/3)

The slope is down 2 right 3.

So all the integer pairs are (-4+3k,4-2k).

Let's check:

6(-4+3k)+9(4-2k)

-24+18k+36-18k

-24+36

12

That checks out since we wanted integer pairs that made 6x+9y=12.

Onward to the last problem.

4x+10y=9

10=4(2)+2

4=2(2)

So the gcd(4,10)=2 which means this one doesn't have any solutions because there is no integer k such that 2k=9.

In the figure below, what is the value of x
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

<em>x = 49°</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Angles in a Triangle</u>

The sum of the internal angles in any triangle adds up to 180°.

The figure shows a triangle that includes two angles with the same tick mark. This means they are congruent, i.e. they measure the same.

The larger triangle has three defined angles: 43°, 39°, and 2x. Since the sum of them is 180°:

43° + 39° + 2x = 180°

Operating:

82° + 2x = 180°

Subtracting 82°:

2x = 180° - 82° = 98°

x = 98°/2 = 49°

x = 49°

The wholesale cost of a bicycle is $98.75.
mixer [17]

Answer:

$131.60

Step-by-step explanation:

For the promotion, markup is 33.3% of the selling price.

Now, Selling Price = Cost price + Cost price*Markup

Selling Price = $98.75 + $98.75*33.3%

Selling Price = $98.75 + $32.88375

Selling Price = $131.63375

Selling Price = $131.60

Thus, the selling price of the bicycle after calculating the markup is $131.60.

The Fergusons want to install a new tile floor in their kitchen. The kitchen is in the shape of a rectangle and is 9 feet by 12
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

27 tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the total area of the kitchen.

Use the area formula, A = lw

A = lw

A = (9)(12)

A = 108

So, the area of the kitchen is 108 sq ft

Find the area of the square tiles, using the same formula:

A = lw

A = (2)(2)

A = 4

So, the area of one square tile is 4 sq ft

Find how many tiles they will need to buy by dividing the total area by the area of one tile:

108/4

= 27

So, they will need to buy 27 tiles

What value of x is in the solution set of 3(x – 4) &gt; 5x + 2?
bonufazy [111]

We have to simplify and get the value of x from this inequality given:

Given inequality,

3(x - 4) > 5x + 2

Now let's simplify by using distributive property,

3x - 12 > 5x + 2

We need to find x, so let's isolate x to the letter side of the inequality for calculation at ease.

3x - 12 - 5x  - 2 > 0

- 2x - 14 > 0

Now, dividing -2 from both sides.

Note : As we are dividing a negative number from both sides, the sign of the inequality will be <u>reversed</u>.

\dfrac{ - 2x - 14}{ - 2}  >  \dfrac{0}{ - 2}

x + 7 < 0

Now subtracting -7 from both sides,

x + 7 - 7 < 0 - 7

x <  - 7

Or, Interval of the equal (- \infin, -7 ]
