2x - 4y = 12 3x - 5y = 20

1 answer:

7 0

You multiply the first equation by 3 and the second one by 2:
3*(2x - 4y = 12) = 6x - 12y = 36
2*(3x - 5y =20) = 6x - 10y = 40
Then use elimination:
6x - 12y = 36
- (6x - 10y = 40)
= -2y = -4
Solve:
y = 2
Then, plug 2 into the first equation and solve:
2x - 4(2) = 12
2x - 8 = 12
2x = 20
x = 10
There is the answer, x = 10 and y = 2.

Find the 37th term of 352,345,338

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

$a_{37}=100$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A sequence 352,345,338.

First term = 352

Common difference = 345-352 = -7

We need to find the 37th term of the sequence.

The nth term of an AP is given by :

$a_n=a+(n-1)d\\\\a_{37}=352+36\times (-7)\\\\a_{37}=100$

So, the 37th term of the sequence is 100.

∠ABC and ∠DBC are complementary angles. If ∠ABC=6x+13 and ∠DBC=4x−3 what is the value of x?

Natalka [10]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Complimentary angles are angles that add up to 90 degrees. If ABC and DBC are complimentary, then when added together, it equals 90 degrees.

ABC + DBC = 90

6x+13+4x−3 = 90

10x+10 = 90

10x = 80

x = 8
