x ^2 + 6x - 5 = 0\\\\ x^2+6x+9-14=0\\\\ (x+3)^2=14\\\\ x+3=\sqrt{14} \vee x+3=-\sqrt{14}\\\\ x=-3+\sqrt{14} \vee x=-3-\sqrt{14}

Answer:

E) (-4, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

To use elimination, you need to have one variable in both equations that have the same coefficient. (The coefficient is the number attached to the variable). Both equations have "7y".

The way elimination works is by eliminating one of the variables first. Decide how (-7y) and (-7y) can cancel out and become 0. You can either add or subtract.

(-7y) - (-7y)        Try subtracting

= (-7y) + 7y

= 0

Based on this, we should subtract the whole equations.

Set up the equations like normal subtraction. Then, subtract each of the terms that have the same variable.

.   4x - 7y = 5

<u>-   9x - 7y = -15</u>       Do 4x - 9x = -5x.    -7y - (-7y) = 0.      5 - (-15) = 20.

.    -5x - 0 = 20       "y" cancelled out

.          -5x = 20          Isolate 'x'

.      -5x/-5 = 20/-5       Divide both sides by -5

.              x = -4          Solved x-coordinate

Substitute 'x' for -4 in any of the equations. Then simplify and isolate "y" to solve for the y-coordinate.

4x - 7y = 5

4(-4) - 7y = 5         Simplify the multiplication.

-16 - 7y = 5         Start isolating 'y' now

-16 + 16 - 7y = 5 + 16         Add 16 to both sides. Left side cancels out 16

-7y = 5 + 16         Solved right side by adding

-7y = 21

-7y/-7 = 21/-7         Divide both sides by -7

y = -3              Solved y-coordinate

Therefore the answer is (-4, -3).

A tree in John's backyard has been growing for 4 1/2 years. The tree is 4/5 meters tall. What is the unit rate in meters per yea
STatiana [176]

Answer:

<u>5 127/200 meters</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

4 1/2 = 4 5/10 | 4/5 = 8/10

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

4 5/10 = 4.5 | 8/10 = 0.8

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

4.8 divided by 0.8 = 5.625

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

5.635 = 5 635/1000

635/1000 divided by 5 = 127/200

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

5 + 127/200 = <u>5 127/200</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

c^2 = 8^2 + 6^2

c^2 = 64 + 36

c^2 = 100

c = 10

a farmer has 10 acres to plant in wheat and rye. He has to plant at least 7 acres. However, he has only $1200 to spend and each
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

4 acres of wheat and 4 acres of rye.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Farmer has only 7 acre, he has plant at least 7 acres.

          Farmer has only $1200 to spend.

          Each acre of wheat will cost $200 and rye will cost $100.

          Planting time is only 12 hours

          Wheat planting take 1 hour per hour and rye take 2 hours per acre.

          Profit on wheat is $500 per acre and rye $300 per acre.

As to find out maximum profit, we need to plant maximum wheat.

While dividing number of acres of land for wheat and rye for plantation, we need to keep two constraint in the mind; Constraint of cost and time as given.

Lets assume few number considering these constraint to get maximum profit.

First assumption, 5 acres of wheat and 2 acres of rye

Time taken= 5\times 1= 5 h\\2\times 2= 2 h

Total time taken 7 hours

Amount spent= 5\times 200= \$ 1000\\2\times 100= \$ 200

Total cost is $ 1200.

Profit= 5\times 500= \$ 2500\\2\times 300= \$ 600

Maximum profit= $3100.

Second assumption, 4 acres of wheat and 4 acres of rye.

Times taken= 4\times 1= 4 h\\4\times 2= 8 h

Total time taken is 12 hours

Amount spent= 4\times 200= \$ 800\\4\times 100= \$ 400

Total cost is $1200.

Profit= 4\times 500= \$ 2000\\4\times 300= \$ 1200

Maximum profit= $3200.

∴ By using hit and trail method, we can see that we are getting maximum profit when farmer is planting 4 acres of wheat and 4 acres of rye.
