<h3><u>The value of x is equal to -6.</u></h3><h3><u>The value of y is equal to 3.</u></h3>

8x + 2y = -42

4x + 7y = -3

In the first equation, subtract 8x from both sides.

2y = -42 - 8x

Divide all terms by 2.

y = -21 - 4x

Now that we have a value of y, we can plug it into the second equation to solve for x.

4x + 7(-21 - 4x) = -3

Distributive property.

4x - 147 - 28x = -3

Combine like terms.

-24x - 147 = -3

Add 147 to both sides.

-24x = 144

Divide both sides by -24.

x = -6

Now that we have a true value for x, we can plug it into either equation to solve for y.

8(-6) + 2y = -42

-48 + 2y = -42

Add 48 to both sides.

2y = 6

Divide both sides by 2.

y = 3

The solution of a certain differential equation is of the form y(t)=aexp(7t)+bexp(11t), where a and b are constants. The solutio
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the solution of a certain differential equation is of the form

y(t) = ae^{7t} +be^{11t}

Use the initial conditions

i) y(0) =1

1=a(1)+b(1)\\a+b=1 ... I

ii) y'(0) = 4

Find derivative of y first and then substitute

y'(t) = 7ae^{7t} +11be^{11t}\\y'(0) =7a+11b \\7a+11b =4 ...II

Now using I and II we solve for a and b

Substitute b = 1-a in II

7a+11(1-a) = 4\\-4a+11 =4\\-4a =-7\\a = 1.75 \\b = -0.75

Hence solution is

y(t) = 1.75e^{7t} -0.75e^{11t}

What is 140/180 as a decimal
Naddika [18.5K]
I think the answer is 0.8 or 0.78. 
You divide 140/180 which gives you 0.77777778
You can either round up to the nearest hundredth or tenth.
