Answer:

x = -3 , y = 4 , z = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{x - 3 y + z = -15

2 x + y - z = -2

x + y + 2 z = 1

Hint: | Choose an equation and a variable to solve for.

In the first equation, look to solve for z:

{x - 3 y + z = -15

2 x + y - z = -2

x + y + 2 z = 1

Hint: | Solve for z.

Subtract x - 3 y from both sides:

{z = 3 y + (-x - 15)

2 x + y - z = -2

x + y + 2 z = 1

Hint: | Perform a substitution.

Substitute z = -15 - x + 3 y into the second and third equations:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

15 + 3 x - 2 y = -2

x + y + 2 (-15 - x + 3 y) = 1

Hint: | Expand the left hand side of the equation x + y + 2 (-15 - x + 3 y) = 1.

x + y + 2 (-15 - x + 3 y) = x + y + (-30 - 2 x + 6 y) = -30 - x + 7 y:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

15 + 3 x - 2 y = -2

-30 - x + 7 y = 1

Hint: | Choose an equation and a variable to solve for.

In the second equation, look to solve for x:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

15 + 3 x - 2 y = -2

-30 - x + 7 y = 1

Hint: | Isolate terms with x to the left hand side.

Subtract 15 - 2 y from both sides:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

3 x = 2 y - 17

-30 - x + 7 y = 1

Hint: | Solve for x.

Divide both sides by 3:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

x = (2 y)/3 - 17/3

-30 - x + 7 y = 1

Hint: | Perform a substitution.

Substitute x = (2 y)/3 - 17/3 into the third equation:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

x = (2 y)/3 - 17/3

(19 y)/3 - 73/3 = 1

Hint: | Choose an equation and a variable to solve for.

In the third equation, look to solve for y:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

x = (2 y)/3 - 17/3

(19 y)/3 - 73/3 = 1

Hint: | Isolate terms with y to the left hand side.

Add 73/3 to both sides:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

x = (2 y)/3 - 17/3

(19 y)/3 = 76/3

Hint: | Solve for y.

Multiply both sides by 3/19:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

x = (2 y)/3 - 17/3

y = 4

Hint: | Perform a back substitution.

Substitute y = 4 into the first and second equations:

{z = -x - 3

x = -3

y = 4

Hint: | Perform a back substitution.

Substitute x = -3 into the first equation:

{z = 0

x = -3

y = 4

Hint: | Sort results.

Collect results in alphabetical order:

Answer: {x = -3 , y = 4 , z = 0

19. Find the current in a circuit if the power is 500 W (watts) and the resistance is 25 ohms. Round off your answer to two deci
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula that relates current, power and resistance is

I=\sqrt{\frac{P}{R}}

Where

I is the current (in amperes)

P is the power (in watts)

R is the resistance (in ohms)

We know P = 500 and R = 25, we plug them into the formula and solve for I:

I=\sqrt{\frac{P}{R}}\\I=\sqrt{\frac{500}{25}}\\I=\sqrt{20}\\ I=4.47

Correct answer is 4.47 Amperes, or choice A.

Estimate the area of Alberta in square miles. Show your reasoning
ella [17]

Answer:  About 278,250\ mi^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing figure is attached.

Notice in the first picture that Alberta has a complex shape.

You can calculate the area of a complex shape by decomposing it into polygons whose areas can be calculated easily.

Observe the second picture. Notice that it can be descompose into two polygons: A trapezoid and a rectangle.

The area of the trapezoid  can be calcualted with the formula:

A_t=\frac{h}{2}(B+b)

Where "h" is the height, "B" is the long base and "b" is short base.

And the area of the rectangle can be found with the formula:

 A_r=lw

Wkere "l" is the lenght and "w" is the width.

Then, the apprximate area of Alberta is:

A=\frac{h}{2}(B+b)+lw

Substituting vallues, you get:

A=(\frac{(410\ mi-180\ mi)}{2})(760\ mi+470\ mi)+(180\ mi)(760\ im)\\\\A=141,450\ mi^2+136,800\ mi^2\\\\A=278,250\ mi^2

Therefore, the area of of Alberta is about 278,250\ mi^2.

WILL GIVE BRAINIEST Which of the following is NOT a perfect square? Question 3 options: 36 25 49 81 35 144 100
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

35

Step-by-step explanation:

The way I know is because I memorized every square up to 33.

BUT that's probably not helpful to you.

Remember that every perfect square has an odd number of factors. I'm not going to list them all out, but the factors of 35 are 1, 5, 7, and 35, giving it an even number of factors. All the rest have an odd number of factors because of the property of a perfect square: a number times itself gives a perfect square, but that number only counts as 1 factor.
