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

Mathematics

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.

The perimeter of the base of a regular quadrilateral prism is 60 cm, the area of a lateral face is 105 cm2. Find: the volume of
Harman [31]
Since the base is a regular quadrilateral, each of its 4 sides must have length
  s = P/4
  s = (60 cm)/4 = 15 cm

The area of one lateral face is the product of side length and height.
  A = s×h
  105 cm² = (15 cm)×h
Then the height of the prism is
  h = (105 cm²)/(15 cm) = 7 cm

The area of the base is then
  B = s²
  B = (15 cm)² = 225 cm²

The volume of the prism is the product of its base area and height.
  V = Bh
  V = (225 cm²)×(7 cm) = 1575 cm³


The volume is 1575 cm³.

VladimirAG [237]

Explanation:

1. It means that Nikoleta is longer and heavier than 10% of children her age.

2. We generally expect that a change from being in the 50th percentile to the 10th percentile signifies a condition that is interfering with normal growth. That is not usually considered desirable.
