Answer:

Option D. (8, – 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 4y = 8 ..... (1)

x – y = 12.... (2)

To solve the above equation by elimination method, do the following:

Step 1:

Multiply equation 1 by the coefficient of x in equation 2 i.e 1.

Multiply equation 2 by the coefficient of x in equation 1 i.e 3. This is illustrated below:

1 × Equation 1

1 × (3x + 4y = 8)

3x + 4y = 8 ...... (3)

3 × Equation 2

3 × ( x – y = 12)

3x – 3y = 36......(4)

Step 2:

Subtract equation 3 from equation 4. This is illustrated below:

. 3x – 3y = 36

– (3x + 4y = 8)

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

– 7y = 28

Divide both side by the coefficient of y i.e –7

y = 28/–7

y = – 4

Step 3:

Substitute the value of y into any of the equation to obtain the value of x. In this case, we shall substitute the value of y into equation 2 as shown below:

x – y = 12

y = –4

x – (–4) = 12

x + 4 = 12

x = 12 – 4

x = 8

Therefore, the solution to the equation above is (8, – 4)

Find the exact volume of the cylinder.

Verizon [17]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf C. \ 200 \pi \ ft^3}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the volume of the cylinder. The formula for calculating a cylinder's volume is:

$v= \pi r^2 h$

We know the height of the cylinder is 8 feet. We are given the diameter, the distance from edge to edge through the center. We want to find the radius, the distance from the edge to the center.

The radius is half the diameter.

r = d/2
r= 10 ft/2
r=5 ft

We know both variables (h= 8ft and r=5 ft) and can substitute them into the formula.

$v= \pi (5 \ ft)^2 * (8 \ ft)$

Solve the exponent.

5 ft * 5ft = 25 ft²

$v= \pi (25 \ ft^2)(8 \ft)$

Multiply the numbers in parentheses.

$v= \pi (200 \ ft^3)$

$v= 200 \pi \ ft^3$

The volume of the cylinder is 200π cubic feet and choice C is correct.

What times what equals 216

BARSIC [14]

The question ask us to find the products which equals 216. First we have to factorize 216: 216 = 2*2*2*3*3*3. So: 216 = 1 * 216; 216 = 2 * 108; 216 = 3 * 72; 216 = 4 * 54 ; 216 = 6 * 36; 216 = 8 * 27; 216 = 9 * 24 ; 216 = 12 * 18. And because of a commutative property: 216 = 18 * 12 ; 216 = 24 * 9 ; 216 = 27 * 8 ; 216 = 36 * 6 ; 216 = 54 * 4 ; 216 = 72 * 3 ; 216 = 108 * 2; 216 = 216 * 1.

Write an expression for the sequence of operations described below.

Akimi4 [234]

Triple t ⇒ 3t
add the result to u ⇒ 3t + u
multiply what you have by v ⇒ (3t + u)v

Since it is instructed not to simplify, we perform the distributive property of multiplication.

(3t + u)v = 3tv + uv

If janice plays a game once and the probability of getting yellow is 0.24. How many times will the color shown be yellow if she

blsea [12.9K]

Answer: 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The probability of getting yellow color is 0.24

If the no of trials is 50

$\text{No. of times yellow color shown(N) is}=p\times \text{no of trails}\\\Rightarrow N=0.24\times 50=12\ \text{times}$

Yellow color appears 12 times
