2x - 7y = 2 and 3x + y = -20 addition/elimination

Mathematics

Answer:

x = -6, y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-7y = 2

3x + y = -20

We need to cancel out either x or y to solve the equation. I'll cancel out x first

3(2x-7y = 2)

-2(3x+y=-20)

___________

6x-21y = 6

-6x -2y = 40

____________

-23y = 46

y = -2

Plug the value for y in one of the 2 equations to solve for x

2x -7(-2) = 2

2x+14=2

2x = -12

x=-6

Prism M and pyramid N have the same base area and the same height. Cylinder P and prism Q have the same height and the same base

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Answer Cone Z and Cylinder Y.

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between the volume of the cone and the volume of the cylinder with the same height and same base is the volume of the cone is 1/3 of the volume of the cylinder.

The formula for the volume of the cone is :

V = 1/3π $r^{2}$ h

The formula for the volume of the cylinder is :

V = π $r^{2}$ h

Let be the height of the cylinder Y. Therefore the height of the cone Z is 3h, when we put it into the formula we get :

V = 1/3π $r^{2}$ (3h) = π $r^{2}$ h

Therefore Cone Z and Cylinder Y have same volume.
