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

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.

I need to find surface area of a cylinder. Formula being used: S.A= L x W +
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

90π yd²

Step-by-step explanation:

the surface area of a cylinder is the sum of the lateral area and twice the aera of one end of the cylinder:  π·d·l, where l represents the length of the cylinder.  Here, the lateral surface area is π·6 yd·12 yd, or 72π yd².

The two ends add the following to the total surface area:

2·π·(d/2)², or 2π·d²/4.

Thus, the total surface area of the cyl. is

A = 2π·(6 yd)²/4 + 72π yd², or

A = 18π yd² + 72π yd² = 90π yd²

Note:  Please check your source.  L x W +  2pi ·r ^2 is incorrect.

Which value of y below is the solution to the system shown below. A) y=6 B) y=-1 C) y=-4 D) y=8
Grace [21]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

given the 2 equations

x + 2y = 27 → (1)

2x + 3y = 46 → (2)

Rearrange (1) expressing x in terms of y by subtracting 2y from both sides

x = 27 - 2y ← substitute into (2)

2(27 - 2y) + 3y = 46

54 - 4y + 3y = 46

54 - y = 46 ( subtract 54 from both sides )

- y = - 8 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

y = 8 → D

Please help solve this SAT math problem. I have 4 more like these so need help with this so that I can solve the rest by myself.
stealth61 [152]

The notation just means

(f/g)(-4) = f(-4) / g(-4)

If f(x) = x² + 2 and g(x) = 1 - 3x, then

f(-4) = (-4)² + 2 = 16 + 2 = 18

g(-4) = 1 - 3 (-4) = 1 + 12 = 13

and so

(f/g)(-4) = 18/13
