Answer: Choice C) -11
-----------------------------------
Explanation:
The first equation given is y = 3 - 1/2x
In other words, y is the same as 3 - 1/2x.
We can replace y in the second equation with 3 - 1/2x
This is known as substitution (think of a substitute teacher who is a temporary replacement for your teacher)
Doing this leads to...
3x+4y = 1
3x+4*y = 1
3x+4*( y ) = 1
3x+4*( 3 - 1/2x ) = 1 <<--- y has been replaced with 3-1/2x
3x+4*(3) +4*(-1/2x) = 1
3x+12-2x = 1
3x-2x+12 = 1
x+12 = 1
x+12-12 = 1-12 <<-- subtracting 12 from both sides
x = -11
Which is why the answer is choice C) -11
let
(hypotenuse ) c = 10 in
(perpendicular) a = 8 in
(base) b =?
By using Pythagoras theorem
c^2= a^2+b^2
(10)^2 = (8)^2 +(b)^2
100 = 64 +(b)^2
100- 64 = (b)^2
36 = (b)^2
√36 = b
6 = b
hence b= 6 in
Answer: 5 bags of sand
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
There are 8 elementary schools
3 Tons of sand is needed
It is contained in a 50- Pound bag
1 ton is equivalent to 2000 Pound
No of 50- Pound bag required is
These 40 bags will be required in 8 schools. So, each school requires
Answer:
137.12
Step-by-step explanation:
Density = mass/volume
Density = 3.51
Mass = 481.3
Thus: 481.3/3.51 = 137.122507123
