Answer:
<u>The solution of this system of equation is ( 3, - 8)</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's solve the system of equations:
First equation:
x + 2y = - 13
x = - 13 - 2y
Second equation:
12x + 5y = -4
12 * (- 13 - 2y) + 5y = - 4 (Replacing x with - 13 - 2y)
-156 -24y + 5y = - 4
-24y + 5y = - 4 + 156 (Like terms)
-19y = 152
y = - 152/19
<u>y = -8</u> (Dividing by 19)
Solving x
x + 2y = -13
x + 2 (- 8 ) = - 13
x - 16 = - 13
x = - 13 + 16
<u>x = 3</u>
2. Proving that x = 3 and y = - 8 are correct:
12x + 5y = -4
12 * 3 + 5 * -8 = -4
36 - 40 = - 4
- 4 = - 4
<u>We proved that x = 3 and y = - 8 are correct</u>
We can set up a proportion to figure out how many laps out of 200 laps is 57% out of 100%
Cross multiply
The answer is 114 laps.
Answer:
whichever of these formats you need its the same answer (16/6) or 2.66666 or (2 and 2/3rds)
Step-by-step explanation:
replace smaller variable with x for example
(x) + (5x-1) = 17
6x-1=17
6x=16
x=(16/6 or 2.666666 or 2and2/3)
19 feet
convert 2 
into an improper fraction
2 = 
hence the length of the wall is 19 feet
Answer:
C. (3x)^2 - (2)^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Each of the two terms is a perfect square, so the factorization is that of the difference of squares. Rewriting the expression to ...
(3x)^2 - (2)^2
highlights the squares being differenced.
__
We know the factoring of the difference of squares is ...
a^2 -b^2 = (a -b)(a +b)
so the above-suggested rewrite is useful for identifying 'a' and 'b'.
