Steven investigates the amount of damage to the head gaskets on the trucks in his fleet and finds that the damage index depends

on the ambient temperature. He develops the equation y = - 2 3 x + 14 to model the relationship. If the temperature increases 1 degree, what happens to the damage index for the head gasket?

Solve these simultaneous equations:
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

1) We have the system:

5*x - 3*y = 15

4*x + 3*y = 6

To solve this, we first need to isolate one of the variables in one of the equations, let's isolate x in the first equation:

x = 15/5 + (3/5)*y = 3 + (3/5)*y

Now we can replace this in the other equation to get:

4*( 3 + (3/5)*y) + 3*y = 6

and solve this for y.

12 + (12/5)*y  + 3*y = 6

(12/5 + 3)*y = 6 - 12 = -6

(12/5 + 15/5)*y = -6

(27/5)*y = -6

y = -6*(5/27) = 1.11

Now we can replace this in the equation:

x = 3 + (3/5)*y

To get the value of x.

x = 3 + (3/5)*1.11 = 3.67

Then the solution of this system is the point (3.67, 1.11)

2) Now we have the system:

2*x + 5*y = 26

4*x + 3*y = 24

The solution method is the same as before:

x = 26/2 - (5/2)*y = 13 - (5/2)*y

Now we replace this in the other equation:

4*( 13 - (5/2)*y) + 3*y = 24

52 - 10*y + 3*y = 24

52 - 7*y = 24

52 - 24 = 7*y

28 = 7*y

28/7 = y

4 = y

now we replace this in the equatio:

x = 13 - (5/2)*y

x = 13 - (5/2)*4 = 13 - 10 = 3

The solution of this sytem is (3, 4)

3) Now we have the system:

3*x + 3*y = 39

2*x - 3*y = -2

first we isolate x in the first equation:

x = 39/3 - 3*y/3 = 13 - y

Now we can replace this in the other equation:

2*(13 - y) - 3*y = -2

26 - 2*y - 3*y = -2

26 - 5*y = -2

26 + 2 = 5*y

28 = 5*y

28/5 = y = 5.6

Now we can replace this in the equation:

x = 13 - y

To get the x-value

x = 13 - 5.6 = 7.4

Then the solution for this system is (7.4, 5.6)

A scale on a map shows that 2.5 centimeters represent 15 kilometers.
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

cm for centimeters, km for kilometers.

 

If 2.5cm → 15 km, then

 17.5 cm → x km

 

x= (15km*17.5cm)/(2.5cm)=105 km

which of the following best describes the technique used to graph the equation using the slope and y-intercept ? Y=5x+10
Vinvika [58]
The slope-intercept is y = mx+b. You can use this as a technique for graphing to make the experience easier. The "5" would be the slope or rise/run of the line. The 10 would be where it started on the y-intercept. You could also say it would be (0,10). Since the slope is positive than it would be going in an upward direction. That is why this technique is good for graphing. I hope this helps you and please put me as the brainliest answer. :)
