Answer: x = 7, y = -3, z = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

EQ 1: 3x + 4y - z = 8 solve for z

+z -8 +z - 8

3x + 4y - 8 = z

EQ 3: 5x + y - 2z = 30 substitute 3x + 4y - 8 for z and solve for x

5x + y - 2(3x + 4y - 8) = 30

5x + y - 6x - 8y + 16 = 30

-x - 7y + 16 = 30

-16 -16

-x - 7y = 14

+7y +7y

-x = 7y + 14

x = -7y - 14

EQ 2: x - 5y + 2z = 24 substitute 3x+4y - 8 for z and -7y - 14 for x

(-7y - 14) - 5y + 2(3x + 4y - 8) = 24

-7y - 14 - 5y + 6(-7y - 14) + 8y - 16 = 24

-7y - 14 - 5y - 42y - 84 + 8y - 16 = 24

-46y - 114 = 24

+114 +114

-46y = 138

÷-46 ÷-46

y = -3

x = -7y - 14

= -7(-3) - 14

= 21 - 14

= 7

z = 3x + 4y - 8

= 3(7) + 4(-3) - 8

= 21 - 12 - 8

= 1

The heat developed in an electric wire varies jointly as the wires resistance, the time the current flows, & the square of t

never [62]

Answer:

4 ohms

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is "In two minutes a current of 5 amps develops 1,200 heat units in a wire of 8 ohms resistance. What resistance does a similar wire have, which develops 6,000 heat units with a current of 10 amps in 5 minutes?"

Current, I₁ = 5 A

Heat, Q₁ = 1200 units

Resistance, R₁ = 8 ohms

Time, t₁ = 2 min = 120 s

New heat, Q₂ = 6000 units

Current, I₂ = 10 A

New time, t₂ = 5 min = 300 s

We need to find the new resistance.

Heat developed is given by :

$Q=I^2Rt$

$\dfrac{Q_1}{I_1^2R_1t_1}=\dfrac{Q_2}{I_2^2R_2t_2}\\\\R_2=\dfrac{Q_2\times I_1^2R_1t_1}{Q_1I_2^2t_2}\\\\R_2=\dfrac{6000\times 5^2\times 8\times 120}{1200\times 10^2\times 300}\\\\=4\ \Omega$

So, the new resistance is 4 ohms.

Determine the slope between (4, 2) and (-3, 5) ~hurry please~

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

A.-3/7

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope formula is

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2-x1)

The point (4, 2) is (x1, y1) and the point (-3, 5) is (x2, y2). Now you have to substitute in the slope formula:

m = (5 - 2) / (-3 - 4)

m = 3 / -7

m = -3/7
