Well, to solve for x, you have to isolate it. I will show how to solve it, step-by-step below:
2x+3y=12
2x+3y-3y=12-3y
2x=-3y+12 ...divide both sides by 2
x=-3/2y+6

Now, to completely solve for x, you need to find what y is equal to. But to solve for y, you have to "get rid" of the x. You can use "-3/2y+6" in place of the x.
2(-3/2y+6)+3y=12
-6/2y+12+3y=12 ...simplify
-3y+12+3y=12 ...move the 12 to the other side
-3y+12-12+3y=12-12
-3y+3y=0 ...add like things
0=0

...oh. There is no solution...

Let me try doing y first...
2x+3y=12
3y=-2x+12
y=-2/3x+4

2x+3(-2/3x+4)=12
2x-6/3x+12=12
2x-2x=0
0=0

...yo...what is going on... are you sure you gave us the right numbers... no typos?

Answer:

Let fertilizer be F

and peat moss be P

since F is proportional to P

F = kP

where, k = constant of proportionality

k = F/P

putting in the values,

k = (3/4) /12

k = 3/4 * 1/12

k = 1/16

Therefore the constant of proportionality is 1/16.

Prove that 25^11−5^19 is divisible by 31.
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

Divisible by 3 is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

First get everything to have the same base of 5

25^11 - 5^19

(5^2)^11 - 5^19

5^(2*11) - 5^19

5^22 - 5^19

Now factor out the GCF 5^19 to get

5^22 - 5^19

5^(19+3) - 5^(19+0)

5^19*5^3 - 5^19*5^0

5^19(5^3 - 5^0)

5^19(125 - 1)

5^19*(124)

At this point, we factor the 124 into 31*4 to end up with this full factorization: 5^19*31*4

Therefore, 25^11 - 5^19 is equivalent to 5^19*31*4

Since 31 is a factor of the original expression, this means the original expression is divisible by 31.

Martha and sarah leave block p and q towards q and p respectively simultaneously and travel in the same route. After meeting eac
olga_2 [115]

The average speed of Martha and Sarah is 32 km/h.

We need to know about the speed to solve this problem. Speed can be determined as the distance traveled divided by time. It can be written as

v = s / t

where v is speed, s is distance and t is time.

From the question above, we know that:

t sarah = 3 hours

t martha = 5 hours

v sarah = 40 km/h

By using the speed equation, we get the distance

vsarah = s / tsarah

40 = s/3

s = 120 km

Find Martha's speed

vmartha = s / tmartha

vmartha = 120 / 5

vmartha = 24 km/h

Find average speed

v = (vsarah + vmartha)/2

v = (40 + 24) / 2

v = 32 km/h

Hence, the average speed of Martha and Sarah is 32 km/h.
