If you would like to solve the system of equations 3y + 2z = 12 and y - z = 9, you can do this using the following steps:

3y + 2z = 12
y - z = 9 ... y = 9 + z
___________
3y + 2z = 12
3 * (9 + z) + 2z = 12
27 + 3z + 2z = 12
5z = 12 - 27
5z = -15
z = -15/5
z = -3

y = 9 + z = 9 - 3 = 6

The correct result would be c. y = 6, z = –3.

An inlet pipe on a swimming pool can be used to fill the pool in 33 hours. The drain pipe can be used to empty the pool in 34 ho

Talja [164]

Answer:

An inlet pipe on a swimming pool can be used to fill the pool in 33 hours. Time it will take to fill the pool = 748 hrs

Solution:

Let x = time it will take to fill the pool

$\frac{1}{33}$ = work rate of inlet pipe

$\frac{1}{34}$ = work rate of drain pipe

Using the formulae

Volume of flow=work rate $\times$ time

Let us assume complete time of pool to fill = 1

Remaining fraction of pool to be filled = $1-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{2}{3}$

$\begin{array}{l}{\frac{1}{33} x-\frac{1}{34} x=\frac{2}{3}} \\\\ {\frac{x}{33}-\frac{x}{34}=\frac{2}{3}}\end{array}$

$\frac{34 x-33 x}{33 \times 34}=\frac{2}{3}$

$34 x-33 x=\frac{2 \times 34 \times 33}{3}$

$\begin{array}{l}{x=\frac{2244}{3}} \\\\ {x=\frac{3168}{3}} \\\\ {x=748}\end{array}$

Time it will take to fill the pool = 748 hrs

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It’s a right triangle.

$a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}$

$10^{2} +x^{2} =(2\sqrt{29} ) ^{2}$

100+x^2=4(29)

Kristin bought eight boxes.A week later half of all her boxes were destroyed in a fire.There are now only 17 boxes left.With how

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

She started with 26 boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

She started with x boxes. Then she bought 8 more boxes. Now she had x + 8 boxes. Then half the boxes were destroyed, so she has the other half of the boxes. Half of the boxes is (x + 8)/2. She has now 17 boxes, so (x + 8)/2 = 17.

(x + 8)/2 = 17

Multiply both sides by 2.

x + 8 = 34

Subtract 8 from both sides.

x = 26

She started with 26 boxes.
