Answer:

$\huge\boxed{x = 6 , y = -2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf \frac{1}{2} x - 3y = 9-----------(1)\\5x + y = 28 ----------(2)$

Taking equation (1)

$\sf \frac{1}{2} x -3 y=9$

Multiplying both sides by 2

$\sf x-6y = 18$

Adding 6y to both sides

$\sf x = 18+6y$

Putting this in (2)

5(18+6y) + y = 28

90 + 30y+y = 28

31y+90-28 = 0

31 y + 62 = 0

31y = -62

Dividing both sides by 31

y = -2

Now,

x = 18 + 6y

x = 18+6(-2)

x = 18-12

x = 6

1/2x - 3y = 9 (1)
5x + y = 28 (2)

(1) x 2
x - 6y = 18

(2) x 6
30x + 6y = 168
—————

x - 6y = 18 (3)
30x + 6y = 168 (4)

(3) + (4)
31x = 186
x = 6

sub x into (2)
30 + y = 28
y = -2
—————

x = 6
y = -2

How to solve (2.31*10^-6)+(5.87*10^-4)

S_A_V [24]

We want to calculate the following

$2.31\cdot10^{-6}+5.87\cdot10^{-4}$

Using the properties of exponents, we have that

$10^{-6}=10^{-4}\cdot10^{-2}$

So we have

$2.31\cdot10^{-6}+5.87\cdot10^{-4}=2.31\cdot10^{-2}\cdot10^{-4}+5.87\cdot10^{-4}$

So, if factor 10^-4 on the right side, we have

$10^{-4}(2.31\cdot10^{-2}+5.87)$

Note that

$2.31\cdot10^{-2}=0.0231$

Then,

$5.87+2.31\cdot10^{-2}=5.87+0.0231=5.8931^{}$

So we have that

$2.31\cdot10^{-6}+5.87\cdot10^{-4}=5.8931\cdot10^{-4}$

Please really need the correct answer for this or I'll fail algebra 3

trapecia [35]

Answer:

$4\pi$

Step-by-step explanation:

S = Arc Lenth

θ = Radians

R = Radius

S = θR

So, now that we understand the formula, we will convert 72° into radians by introducing the equation $x*\frac{\pi }{180}$ , x = 72

S = $72*\frac{\pi }{180} * R$

given that R = 10

S = $\frac{72*10*\pi }{180}$

S = $\frac{720*\pi }{180}$

We simplify 720 as 180 goes into 720 4 times and we get

S = $4\pi$

Hope this helps

Part A: If (7^2)^x = 1, what is the value of x? Explain your answer. (10 points)

Alex777 [14]

Answers:Part A: The value of x is 0.Part B: X can be any real number.
In Part A, you have to first evaluate 7^2. This is 49. Now, write the equation 49^x = 1. We know that if you raise any number to 0, then the answer is 1.
In Part B, you have to first evaluate 7^0, that is 1. Now, we have the equation 1^x = 1. In this case, 1 raised to any exponent is still only 1. Imagine 1^17, this would be 1 times itself 17 times or just 1.
Therefore any number will work in Part B.
