One reason that negative numbers would not make sense for values of the variables is that the solution having a negative value is not valid. It might be that the expression represents a real word problem and a negative value will not make any sense. Hope this helps.
Answer:
Option C, The volume of the length cube is 3 times the volume of the smaller cube
Step-by-step explanation:
21.8 / 7.8 = 2.8
the volume of the larger would be 21.8^3 = 10360.23
the volume of the larger would be 7.8^3 = 474.55
Given Equations :
✿ 2x + y = 20 ------------------ [1]
✿ 6x - 5y = 12 ----------------- [2]
Multiplying Equation [1] with 5, We get :
⇒ 5(2x + y) = 5(20)
⇒ 10x + 5y = 100 -------------- [3]
Adding Equations [2] and [3], We get :
⇒ (10x + 5y) + (6x - 5y) = 100 + 12
⇒ 16x = 112
⇒ x = 7
Substituting x = 7 in Equation [1], We get :
⇒ 2(7) + y = 20
⇒ 14 + y = 20
⇒ y = 20 - 14
⇒ y = 7
So, The Solution for the Given System of Equations is : (x , y) = (7 , 7)
The decimal value of 16/32 is 0.5
