KonstantinChe [14]3 years ago

Step-by-step explanation:

When you have a ratio, you put one number as the numerator and than one number as the denominator.

so it would be (12/34)=(x/68)

In this example I made the ratio you are comparing it to have 68 dollars, so when you solve for the amount of quarters you need it should be 24, since all of the numbers in this example are just being doubled.

To solve for x, you multiply 68 on both sides of the equation, 68×(12/34)=x

24=x

So this proves that this is how ratios, are used. It also does not matter what number you place on the numerator or denominator.

The perimeter of a parallelogram is 15.42 cm. The length of its sides is 2.93. What isthe lengths of its other sides?
KATRIN_1 [288]
Paaralellogram has 2 pairs of paralell sidess
therefor there are 2 pairs of sides with same legnth
perimiter=legnth+widht+legnth+width since the opposite sides ar the same sinnce paralell
perimiter=2legnth +2width

perimiter=15.42
legnth=2.93
subsitute
15.42=2(2.93)+2width
15.42=5.86+2width
subtract 5.86 from both sides
9.56=2width
divide both sides by 2
4.78

legth of ther side is 4.78 cm

3x + 2y = 5 5x + 2y = 7 Based on the given system of equations, which of the following is not true? 2x = 2 8x = 12 4y = 4
weqwewe [10]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

8x = 12

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Subtracting the first equation from the second, you get ...

... (5x +2y) -(3x +2y) = (7) -(5)

... 2x = 2 . . . . . the first answer choice is true

___

Multiplying this expression for x by 4, we get

... 8x = 8 . . . . . the second answer choice (8x=12) is false

___

Adding thee first equation to the second, you get ...

... (3x +2y) +(5x +2y) = (5) +(7)

... 8x +4y = 12

... 8 + 4y = 12 . . . . . . use the value of 8x just computed

... 4y = 4 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 8; the third answer choice is true

_____

<em>Alternate approaches</em>

In short, if you solve the system by any of the methods available, you find x=1 and y=1, so the second answer choice is clearly the correct one:

... 8x ≠ 12

By Cramer's method:

... x = (2·7-2·5)/(2·5-2·3) = 4/4 = 1

... y = (5·5-7·3)/4 = 4/4 = 1

By graphing, see attached.

By substitution (for 2y):

... 5x +(5-3x) =7 . . . . . using 2y=5-3x

... 2x = 2 . . . . . . subtract 5

... x = 1 . . . . . . . .divide by 2

... 5 -3·1 = 2y = 2 . . . . substitute x into the expression for 2y

... y = 1 . . . . . . . divide by 2

By matrix methods, see the second attachment. (x, y) = (1, 1), found in the rightmost column of the result.
