The system of equations

Mathematics
1 answer:
cupoosta [38]3 years ago

Answer:

z = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of equations is:

xy/(x + y) = 1 ...........................(1)

xz/(x + z) = 2...........................(2)

yz/(y + z) = 3...........................(3)

From (1): x + y = xy

=> y = xy - x

y = x(y - 1)

x = y/(y - 1).......................................(4)

From (2): 2(x + z) = xz

=> 2x + 2z = xz

2x = xz - 2z

2x = z(x - 2)

z = 2x/(x - 2) ....................................(5)

From (3): 3(y + z) = yz

=> 3y + 3z = yz

3y = yz - 3z

3y = z(y - 3)

z = 3y/(y - 3)....................................(6)

Comparing (5) and (6)

2x/(x - 2) = 3y/(y - 3)

2x(y - 3) = 3y(x - 2)

2xy - 6x = 3xy - 6y

6(y - x) = xy .................................(7)

But from (1): xy = x + y

Using this in (7), we have

6(y - x) = x + y

6y - y - 6x - x = 0

5y - 7x = 0

5y = 7x

x = 5y/7................................................(8)

Using this in (4)

5y/7 = y/(y - 1)

1/(y - 1) = 5/7

(y - 1) = 7/5

y = 1 + 7/5

y = 12/5..........................................(9)

Using this in (8)

x = 5(12/5)/7 = 12/7 .......................(10)

Using (10) in (5)

z = 2x/(x - 2)

z = 2(12/7) ÷ (12/7 - 2)

= 24/7 ÷ -2/7

= 24/7 × (-7/2)

= -24/2 = -12

z = -12.

Given the Arithmetic sequence A1,A2,A3,A4A1,A2,A3,A4
Bad White [126]
The given sequence is
a₁ = 29
a₂ = 39
a₃ = 49
a₄ = 59

This sequence is an arithmetic sequence. Th first term is a₁ = 29, and the common difference is d= 10.

The n-th term is
a_{n}=a_{1}+(n-1)d
The 33-rd termis
a₃₃ = 29 + (33 - 1)*10
     = 29 + 320
     = 349

I'm trying to find 1, 2, & 3 but idk how? Sry if it's sideways I'm new ​
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

m∠1+∠2=180

2x+40+2y+40=180

2x+2y=180-80

2x+2y=100

x+y=50

x=50-y

m∠1=m∠3

2x+40=x+2y

2x-x=2y-40

x=2y-40

2y-40=50-y

2y+y=50+40

3y=90

y=30

x=50-y=50-30=20

m∠1=2x+40=2×20+40=80°

m∠2=2y+40=2×30+40=60+40=100°

m∠3=x+2y=20+2×30=80°

Evaluate y5 + x(-7)<br> When x = 2, y = -5
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

45

Step-by-step explanation:

OK, first we turn the variables into into the actual values:

The equation will look like this:

(2)5 + (-5)(-7)

Now its easier to solve!  Lets solve (2)5!

2 * 5 = 10

The equation looks like:

10 + (-5)(-7)  

We will also solve (-5)(-7). Remember that a negative number times a negative number is positive!

-5 * -7 = 35

Lets finish the rest:

10 + 35 = 45.          

Hope this is correct and have a nice day!
