let's multiply both sides in each equation by the LCD of all fractions in it, thus doing away with the denominator.

\begin{cases} \cfrac{1}{2}x+\cfrac{1}{3}y&=7\\\\ \cfrac{1}{4}x+\cfrac{2}{3}y&=6 \end{cases}\implies \begin{cases} \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{6}}{6\left( \cfrac{1}{2}x+\cfrac{1}{3}y \right)=6(7)}\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{12}}{12\left( \cfrac{1}{4}x+\cfrac{2}{3}y\right)=12(6)} \end{cases}\implies \begin{cases} 3x+2y=42\\ 3x+8y=72 \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

Factorise the following
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 5x-x² = x(5 - x).

b) x²-6x-27 = (x - 9)(x + 3).

c) x²+x-56 = (x - 7)(x + 8).

d) x³+8 = (x + 2)(x^2 - 2x + 4)

e) 3x⁴-54t = 3(x^4 - 18t)

f) x²+3x-10 = (x - 2)(x + 5)

g) 2(x⁴+x³-12x²) = 2x^2(x + 4)(x - 3)

h) 20(x³-1)​ = 20(x - 1)(x^2 + x + 1)

Devon earns $35 per hour for a regular 40-hour work week. Sometimes, he works over 40 hours a week and earns "double time" for t
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

Earnings = $1960

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete; however the missing part of the question asks his total earnings if he worked for 48 hours in a week

First, we need to determine the extra hour worked

Regular Hour = 40

Extra Hour = 48 - 40

Extra Hour = 8

Total Earnings is then calculated as follows:

Earnings = Regular Hours * Regular Charges + Extra Hours * Extra Charges

Earnings = 40 * 35 + 8 * Extra Charges

Since extra charges is twice regular charges, we have:

Earnings = 40 * 35 + 8 * 35 * 2

Earnings = 1400 + 560

Earnings = $1960

Flip the coin three times and record your results. While we know the theoretical probability of flipping a heads, what is the ex
ivann1987 [24]

The probability of getting heads while flipping a coin for three times is 1/2

<u>Explanation:</u>

When a coin is flipped then there are two possible outcomes.

We can either get a heads or a tail.

If a coin is flipped three times and the possibility of getting heads would be 3

Total number of outcomes would be 6 ( 2 possible outcomes X 3 times toss)

Therefore, probability of getting heads would be = 3/6

                                                                                     = 1/2

Therefore, the probability of getting heads while flipping a coin for three times is 1/2

Tasya [4]
General point average (GPA) has a stronger effect on the Scholastic Assesment Test (SAT) score since the grade really depends on the scores of the students on a test. Although there is a correlation between GPA and age because of the factors such as quickness of the mentality and the ability to recall information, <span>GPA has still a stronger effect on SAT score.</span>
