The answer is actually choice A
---------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------
If we add up the equations straight down we will have 0a+2b = 6
Note how adding the 'a' terms gives us 3a + (-3a) = 3a-3a = 0a. The 0a term is really 0 since 0 times anything is 0. So the 'a' terms will go away
The equation 0a+2b = 6 turns into 0+2b = 6 and that simplifies to 2b = 6
To isolate b, we divide both sides by 2
2b = 6
2b/2 = 6/2
b = 3
We can stop here since only one answer choice has b = 3, which is choice A. However, let's keep going to find the value of 'a'
Plug b = 3 into any equation with 'a' and 'b', then solve for 'a'
3a+4b = 9
3a+4*3 = 9
3a+12 = 9
3a+12-12 = 9-12
3a = -3
3a/3 = -3/3
a = -1
So a = -1 and b = 3 pair up to form (a,b) = (-1,3)
--------------------------------------
To check, plug this ordered pair back into both equations
Equation 1:
3a+4b = 9
3*(-1)+4*3 = 9
-3+12 = 9
9 = 9
Equation 1 has been checked out
Equation 2:
-3a-2b = -3
-3(-1)-2(3) = -3
3 - 6 = -3
-3 = -3
this is true as well
So this confirms that the final answer is choice A
tl;dr Answer is C
Here we will have to calculate 3 different areas separately.
When calculating the area of the triangle we will use the formula
A = (h*b)/2
A = Area
h = height
b = base
To find the height we do X - Z
23 - 15 = 8 ft
To find the base we do Y - W
19 - 13 = 6 ft
Using the formula above we can now solve for A
A = (8*6)/2
A = (48)/2
A = 24 sq ft
Now we solve the two rectangles using the formula
A = wl
w = width
l = length
We will calculate the area of the left most rectangle first.
We know the length of the rectangle because it's Y - W and we are given the width of the triangle.
w = 15 ft
l = 6 ft
A = 15*6
A = 90 sq ft
Second Rectangle has the width of X and length of W
w = 23 ft
l = 13 ft
A = 23 * 13
A = 299 sq ft
Now we add all the areas to give us the total area of the warehouse.
24 + 90 + 299 = 413 sq ft
Therefore, the answer is C
42/12 = 3.5, 63/18 = 3.5, therefore we will be multiplying the last time by 3.5. 40x3.5= 140, and therefore, the number of pencils produced in 40 seconds is 140
The slope form: y = mx + b
We have:
3x - 6y - 2 = 0 |add 6y to both sides
3x - 2 = 6y |divide both sides by 6
3x/6 - 2/6 = 6y/6
x/2 - 1/3 = y
y = 1/2 x - 1/3
