Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We could multiply the first equation by -3 and, separately, multiply the second equation by 4. The result would be:

-12x - 15y = -21

12x - 8y = -48

the x terms now cancel. The result is:

- 15y = -21

- 8y = -48

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

-23y = -69, or y = 3. If y = 3, then 3x - 2y = -12 becomes:

3x - 2(3) = -12, or

3x - 6 = -12, or 3x = -6, and so x = -2.

The solution is (-2, 3).

Answer:

7w^3/5v

Step-by-step explanation:

42v^3w^4/30v^4w

42 = 6 * 7

30 = 6*5 , factor

6*7v^3w^4/6*5v^4w

6 is common, cancel

7v^3w^4/5v^4w

simplify w^4/w = w^3

v^3/v^4 = 1/v

therefore, 7w^3/5v is the answer

Oil is pumped continuously from a well at a rate proportional to the amount of oil left in the well. Initially there were millio

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

The amount of oil was decreasing at 69300 barrels, yearly

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Initial =1\ million$

$6\ years\ later = 500,000$

Required

At what rate did oil decrease when 600000 barrels remain

To do this, we make use of the following notations

t = Time

A = Amount left in the well

So:

$\frac{dA}{dt} = kA$

Where k represents the constant of proportionality

$\frac{dA}{dt} = kA$

Multiply both sides by dt/A

$\frac{dA}{dt} * \frac{dt}{A} = kA * \frac{dt}{A}$

$\frac{dA}{A} = k\ dt$

Integrate both sides

$\int\ {\frac{dA}{A} = \int\ {k\ dt}$

$ln\ A = kt + lnC$

Make A, the subject

$A = Ce^{kt}$

$t = 0\ when\ A =1\ million$ i.e. At initial

So, we have:

$A = Ce^{kt}$

$1000000 = Ce^{k*0}$

$1000000 = Ce^{0}$

$1000000 = C*1$

$1000000 = C$

$C =1000000$

Substitute $C =1000000$ in $A = Ce^{kt}$

$A = 1000000e^{kt}$

To solve for k;

$6\ years\ later = 500,000$

i.e.

$t = 6\ A = 500000$

So:

$500000= 1000000e^{k*6}$

Divide both sides by 1000000

$0.5= e^{k*6}$

Take natural logarithm (ln) of both sides

$ln(0.5) = ln(e^{k*6})$

$ln(0.5) = k*6$

Solve for k

$k = \frac{ln(0.5)}{6}$

$k = \frac{-0.693}{6}$

$k = -0.1155$

Recall that:

$\frac{dA}{dt} = kA$

Where

$\frac{dA}{dt}$ = Rate

So, when

$A = 600000$

The rate is:

$\frac{dA}{dt} = -0.1155 * 600000$

$\frac{dA}{dt} = -69300$

<em>Hence, the amount of oil was decreasing at 69300 barrels, yearly</em>
