How do you do the elimination method on these equations: 4x-3y=18 and 2x+y=4

Mathematics

Answer:

(1,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

We arbitrarily set out to eliminate x and then find y.

Keep 4x-3y=18 as is, but multiply 2x+y=4 by -2.  We get -4x - 2y = -8.

Combine:

4x - 3y = 18

-4x - 2y = -8

-------------------

       -5y = -10

Solving for y, we get y = 2.  

To find x, substitute y = 2 into either of the given equations.  If we choose the second equation, we get 2x + (2) = 4, so that 2x = 2 and x = 1.

The solution is (1, 2).

Triangles have 180^{\circ} in total, so the sum of all the angles should be 180^{\circ}

First triangle

180 = 90 + (x + 5) + (2x - 2)\\180 = 90 + x + 5 + 2x - 2\\180 - 90 - 5 + 2 = x + 2x\\87 = 3x\\x = 29^{\circ}

Second triangle

180 = (x + 40) + (2x - 5) + (3x - 17)\\180 = x + 40 + 2x - 5 + 3x - 17\\180 - 40 + 5 + 17 = x + 2x + 3x\\162 = 6x\\x = 27^{\circ}

A cylinder has a volume of 320 cu in. and a height of 5". Find the radius of the cylinder. 10 in. 8 in. √8 in.
Reptile [31]
The correct question is
<span>A cylinder has a volume of 320 pi in</span>³<span>. and a height of 5". Find the radius of the cylinder</span>
we know that

[volume of a cylinder]=pi*r²*h----> r²=volume/(pi*h)
r=√[volume/(pi*h)]
volume=320*pi in³
h=5 in
so
r=√[320*pi/(pi*5)]--------> r=8 in

the answer is 
8 in
