Use Substitution to solve the system of equations. c+b=12 2b-3c=1 1/2

1 answer:

7 0

C = -b + 12
2b - 3c = 1 1/2

2b -3(-b+12) = 1 1/2
2b + 3b -36 = 1 1/2
5b = 37 1/2
b = 37.5/5
b = 7.5

c + 7.5 = 12
c = 4.5

b = 7.5 c = 4.5

Hope this helps :)

8. By area, the former U.S.S.R. was the largest country, having 8.649x106 square miles of land. At this time Canada was the seco

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Canada was 418.912 sq miles smaller than the USSR.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: I don't know if this question required a calculator so I'll answer without one.

Symbols:

USSR area in sq miles = u

Canada area in square miles = c

u = 8.649×106

c = 4.797×106

x = how much less area

u = c + x

USSR area = Canada area + number of sq miles less

Math:

u = c + x

plug in values

8.649×106 = 4.797×106 + x

divide by 106 to get rid of the ridiculously large numbers.

8.649 = 4.797 + $\frac{x}{106}$

subtract (use calculator or just traditional subtraction methods)

3.952 = $\frac{x}{106}$

multiply both sides by 106 (use calculator or traditional methods)

418.912 = x

Match each polynomial in standard form to its equivalent factored form.

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

8x^3+1 ⇒ (2x+1)(4x^2−2x+1)
2x^4+16x ⇒ 2x(x+2)(x^2−2x+4)
x^3+8 ⇒ (x+2)(x^2−2x+4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The factoring of the sum of cubes is ...

a³ +b³ = (a +b)(a² -ab +b²)

1. a=2x, b=1

= (2x)³ + 1³

2. There is an overall factor of 2x. Once that is factored out, a=x, b=2.

= (2x)(x³ +2³)

3. a=x, b=2

= x³ +2³

line segment AB has endpoints A (7.5,4.2) and B (2.3,5.4). Find the coordinates of the point that divides the line segment direc

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

(6.2, 4.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

We want, for some point P, ...

(P -A) / (B -P) = 1 / 3

3(P -A) = (B - P) . . . . . multiply by 3

4P = B +3A . . . . . . . . add P+3A

P = (B +3A)/4 . . . . . . .divide by 4

Filling in the coordinate values, we can find P to be ...

P = ((2.3, 5.4) +3(7.5, 4.2))/4 = (2.3+22.5, 5.4+12.6)/4

P = (6.2, 4.5)
