You subtract and find x=10
vredina [299]3 years ago

Answer:

use the combination method

Step-by-step explanation:

     x - 2y = -13

+ 5 x + 2y = -17


since 2y is in both equations you cancel them out.


5x + x = 6x    

-2y + 2y = 0

-13 + (-17) = -30

put it back into the equation

6x + 0 = -30 or 6x = -30

6x ÷ 6 = x

-30 ÷ 6 = -5

x = -5

then plug into the equation x - 2y = -13 and 5x + 2y = -17


-5 - 2y = -13

-13 + 5 = -8

-2y = -8

y = 4


x = -5 and y = 4

Nimfa-mama [501]
Variables are taken from the first letter of the color, ex: green = g.

Given:
r = g
2r = b = y
Total =42

So then:
r+ r + 2r + 2r = 42
6r = 42
r = 7

y = 2r
y = 2(7)
14 of the 42 pencils were yellow.

Which value of m makes the inequality 10m-5<45
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

m < 5

Step-by-step explanation:

10m-5 < 45

Add 5 to both sides

10m - 5 + 5 < 45 + 5

Simplify

10m < 50

Divide both sides by 2

10m/10 < 50/10

Simplify

m < 5

Answer please lot's of points.
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

t≈8.0927

Step-by-step explanation:

h(t) = -16t^2 + 128t +12

We want to find when h(t) is zero ( or when it hits the ground)

0 =  -16t^2 + 128t +12

Completing the square

Subtract 12 from each side

-12  =  -16t^2 + 128t

Divide each side by -16

-12/-16  =  -16/-16t^2 + 128/-16t

3/4 = t^2 -8t

Take the coefficient of t and divide it by 8

-8/2 = -4

Then square it

(-4) ^2 = 16

Add 16 to each side

16+3/4 = t^2 -8t+16

64/4 + 3/4= (t-4)^2

67/4 = (t-4)^2

Take the square root of each side

±sqrt(67/4) =sqrt( (t-4)^2)

±1/2sqrt(67) = (t-4)

Add 4 to each side

4 ±1/2sqrt(67) = t

The approximate values for t are

t≈-0.092676

t≈8.0927

The first is before the rocket is launched so the only valid answer is the second one
