8 0

Answer: x = 2 and y = 0

Explanation:

-9x + 10y = -18
3x - y = 6
————————
-9x + 10y = -18
10(3x - y = 6)
————————
-9x + 10y = -18
30x - 10y = 60
————————-
21x = 42
x = 42/21
x = 2

Find y:

3x - y = 6
3(2) - y = 6
6 - y = 6
-y = 6 - 6
-y = 0
y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey, there!!

To solve this type of equation it is very easy from elimination method,

Firsty, you try to search if there is opposite sign of same variables or not in both equation.
Then find their LCM to make easy to cancel.
And thirdly add or subtract the terms to get value of one variable.
Then substitute the value of one variable to get value of another variable.

Here, the given equation are,

-9x+10y = -18..........(i)

3x-y = 6....................(ii)

Let's take LCM to solve for x.

To solve for "x" we must cancel "y".

LCM= 10 { lcm of 1 and 10 is 1}

So, let's multiply equation (ii) by 10 and add them.

Then,

-9x + 10y = -18

30x - 10y = 60

21x = 42 { as +10y and -10y gets cancelled}

$x = \frac{42}{21}$

Therefore, x= 2.

Substituting the value of x in equation (i)

-9x + 10y = -18

-9 × 2 +10y = -18

-18 + 10y = -18

or, 10y = -18 +18

Therefore, y= 0.

So, the value of x is 2 and y is 0.

Hope it helps...

Write the equation of a vertical ellipse with a major axis of 20, a minor axis of 12, and a center of (6, 3)

maksim [4K]

Answer:

The equation of a vertical ellipse is $\frac{(x-6)^2}{100} + \frac{(y-3)^2}{36} = 1\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, given:

Length of major axis: 20

⇒ 2 a = 20 , or , a = 10

Length of minor axis: 12

⇒ 2 b = 12 , or , b = 6

Also, center (h,k) = (6,3)

Now, STANDARD EQUATION OF ELLIPSE :

$\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2} + \frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2} = 1\\$

Now, substituting the values, a, b , h and k in above expression, we get:

$\frac{(x-6)^2}{10^2} + \frac{(y-3)^2}{6^2} = 1\\$

or, $\frac{(x-6)^2}{100} + \frac{(y-3)^2}{36} = 1\\$

Hence, the equation of a vertical ellipse is $\frac{(x-6)^2}{100} + \frac{(y-3)^2}{36} = 1\\$

Y-8=-x solve for y please show work I'm trying to find the y intercept

Novay_Z [31]

x- intercept (- 8, 0), y- intercept (0, 8)

Step-by-step explanation:
To find the y- intercept, let x = 0 in the
equation and solve for y
y = 0 +8 =8 (0,8 ) y -intercept
To find the x- intercept, let y = 0 in the
equation and solve for x
x + 8 = 0 ( subtract 8 from both sides )
x=- 8 (-8, 0) intercept.

If wrong sorry I tried

Find the common difference for the following sequence and fill in the missing terms. Show all calculations. 2, 13, 24, 35, __, _

Julli [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

Given sequences are; 2 , 13 , 24 , 35 , _ , _ .

Now,

Common difference (d) = 2nd term - 1st term. = 13-2 = 11

When we subtract 1st term from 2nd term we find 11 and when we subtract 2nd term from 3rd term we get 11. This means our common difference is 11.

Now, let's find the nrh term of the sequence.

nth term= a1 + (n-1)d ( a1= 1st term, d= common difference)

nth = 2+ (n-1) 11

= 2 + 11n - 11

= 11n - 9

Let's check if we have got nth term correct.

a1= 1*11 - 9 = 2

a2 = 2*11-9 = 13

a3 = 3*11 - 9 = 24

a4 = 4*11-9 = 35

So, we got our nth term.

Let's find remaining sequence.

a5= 5*11 - 9 = 46.

a6= 6*11 - 9 = 57.

Therefore, the remaining terms are : 46 and 57.

Hope it helps...
