5 0

Answer:

(5, - 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

9x + 5y = 35 → (1)

- 2x - 5y = 0 → (2)

Adding the 2 equations term by term will eliminate the y- term

7x = 35 ( divide both sides by 7 )

x = 5

Substitute x = 5 into either of the 2 equations for value of y

Substituting in (1) gives

9(5) + 5y = 35

45 + 5y = 35 ( subtract 45 from both sides )

5y = - 10 ( divide both sides by 5 )

y = - 2

Solution is (5, - 2 )

What is 1/2 divided by 1/3

Artemon [7]

Answer:

$\frac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{2}$ ÷ $\frac{1}{3}$

The reciprocal of $\frac{1}{3}$ is 3, so finding the reciprocal will replace the division sign with a multiplication sign.

= $\frac{1}{2}$ x 3

= $\frac{3}{2}$ or 1 $\frac{1}{2}$ or 1.5

Which is the value of this expression when p=-2 and q=-1?

saul85 [17]

Answer:

D. 4

Step-by-step explanation:

$[(p^2) (q^{-3}) ]^{-2}.[(p)^{-3}(q)^5] ^{-2}\\\\=[(p^2) (q^{-3}) \times(p)^{-3}(q)^5 ]^{-2}\\\\=[(p^{2}) \times(p)^{-3} \times (q^{-3}) \times(q)^5 ]^{-2}\\\\=[(p^{2-3}) \times (q^{5-3}) ]^{-2}\\\\=[(p^{-1}) \times (q^{2}) ]^{-2}\\\\=(p^{-1\times (-2)}) \times (q^{2\times (-2) }) \\\\=p^{2}\times q^{-4} \\\\= \frac{p^2}{q^4}\\\\= \frac{(-2)^2}{(-1)^4}\\\\= \frac{4}{1}\\\\= 4$
