Answer:

Kevin is correct because you have to solve for two variables x and y.

Step-by-step explanation:

Katy is wrong because there's only one variable which is x.

Answer:Kathy is correct

Step-by-step explanation: We need to solve both equations separately in order to determine with certainty which one is correct and which one is not.

Kevin thinks the new equation should be

3(6x-1) + 2y = 43

This can now be solved as follows;

18x - 3 + 2y = 43

Add 3 to both sides of the equation

18x - 3 + 3 + 2y = 43 + 3

18x + 2y = 46

2(9x + y) = 46 (factorize the left hand side of the equation by 2)

Divide both sides of the equation by 2

9x + y = 46

The variables remain unsolved

On the other hand, Kathy thinks the new equation should be

3x + 2(6x - 1) = 43

This can now be solved as follows;

3x + 12x - 2 = 43

Collect like terms (in this equation, x)

15x - 2 = 43

Add 2 to both sides of the equation

15x - 2 + 2 = 43 + 2

15x = 45

Divide both sides of the equation by 15

x = 3

In essence, Kathy's equation has a solution (x=3) while that of Kevin remains unsolved

A rectangular box has interior dimensions 6-inches by 5-inches by 10-inches. The box is filled with as many solid 3-inch cubes a
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer: The box would have 99% of its volume taken up.

Step-by-step explanation: The box has dimensions as follows;

Length = 6 inches

Width = 5 inches

Height = 10 inches

Therefore the volume of the box shall become

Volume = L x W x H

Volume = 6 x 5 x 10

Volume = 300 cubic inches

Also a 3 inch cube would have its volume given as follows (

Volume = 3 x 3 x 3 (All sides of a cube has equal lengths)

Volume = 27 cubic inches

To find out how many of 3-inch cubes can fit in, divide 300 by 27 and that equals 11.11.

Hence you can have at most 11 cubes in the box. The total volume of 11 cubes is given as 11 x 27 which equals 297. Therefore, the percentage of the box taken up completely by the cubes is given as;

Percentage = (Volume of cubes/Volume of box) x 100

Percentage = (297/300) x 100

Percentage = 99

Therefore the box would have 99% of its volume taken up by the cubes.

Find first derivative f(x)= x² - 4 /x³ + 9 ​
vitfil [10]

Answer:

f'(x) = 2x + \frac{12}{x^{4} }

Step-by-step explanation:

differentiate using the power rule

\frac{d}{dx} ( ax^{n} ) = nax^{n-1}

Given

f(x) = x² - \frac{4}{x^3} + 9 = x² - 4x^{-3} + 9 , then

f'(x) = 2x + 12x^{-4} = 2x + \frac{12}{x^{4} }
