Answer:
x = -6/5
y =7/5
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + y = - 1
x - 2y = - 4
Multiply the first equation by 2 so we can eliminate y
2(2x + y = - 1)
4x + 2y = -2
Add this to the second equation
4x + 2y = -2
x - 2y = - 4
---------------------
5x + 0y = -6
Divide by 5
5x/5 = -6/5
x = -6/5
Multiply the second equation by -2 so we can eliminate x
-2(x - 2y = - 4)
-2x+4y = 8
Add this to the first equation
2x + y = - 1
-2x+4y = 8
---------------------
0x + 5y = 7
Divide by 5
5y/5 = 7/5
y =7/5
The surface gravity of Mars is 3.7 m/s². On Earth it is 9.8 m/s². 3.7/9.8 = 38%.
So 38% of 120 lbs is 45 pounds.
The first one is greater. Adding 3.2 and 0.2 is easy! It's 3.4! Make that 3. Make 6.9, 7. 7×3=21. For the first one, make 1.9, 2. Then Make 3.15, 3. 5×5=25. That is why the first one is greater.
Answer:A. 3x^2-2x-1+9x+2x^2-3=5x^2+7x-4
B. 5x^3+4x^2-x-3-5x^2-7x+4=5x^3-x^2-8x+1
C. Polynomials are closed under addition and subtraction...
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>We are given:</u>
An even number 'n', multiplied by the next consecutive even number is 168
<u>Solving for n:</u>
From the given statement, we can say that:
n(n+2) = 168 [<em>n multiplied by the next even number 'n+2'</em>]
n² + 2n = 168
n² + 2n - 168 = 0 [<em>subtracting 168 from both sides</em>]
We can see that we now have a quadratic equation, solving using splitting the middle term
n² + 14n - 12n - 168 = 0
n(n + 14) -12(n + 14) = 0 <em>[factoring out common terms</em>]
(n-12)(n+14) = 0
Here, we can divide both sides by either (n-12) OR (n+14)
Checking the result in both the cases:
(n + 14) = 0/(n-12) (n-12) = 0/(n+14)
n + 14 = 0 n - 12 = 0
n = -14 n = 12
Both these values are even and since we are not told if the number 'n' is positive or negative, both 12 and -14 are the possible values of n
