How do I slove (-14)(-2)(+1)(-3)

Hopefully you know that the parentheses indicate that you should multiply the numbers. It really doesn’t matter what order you do it in because the answer will be the same no matter what. I would just multiply them however is simplest for you. I first did (-3)(+1)=-3 because multiplying anything by +1 will always stay the same. Next multiply (-3)(-2)=6. This is because 2x3=6 and a negative times a negative is always a positive. Next (6)(-14)=-84 because multiplying a positive by a negative always gets you a negative number. The answer is -84

Solve the system of equations:x + 3y - z = -4 2x - y + 2z = 13 3x - 2y - z = -9

Answer:

The solution to the system of equations is

$\begin{gathered} x=\frac{179}{13} \\ \\ y=-\frac{279}{39} \\ \\ z=-\frac{48}{13} \end{gathered}$

Explanation:

Giving the system of equations:

$\begin{gathered} x+3y-z=-4\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots..........\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots.\ldots\text{.}\mathrm{}(1) \\ 2x-y+2z=13\ldots\ldots...\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots..\ldots..\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots.(2) \\ 3x-2y-z=-9\ldots\ldots\ldots.\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots....\ldots\ldots.\ldots\ldots\ldots\text{.}\mathrm{}(3) \end{gathered}$

To solve this, we need to first of all eliminate one variable from any two of the equations.

Subtracting (2) from twice of (1), we have:

$5y-4z=-21\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots.\ldots.\ldots..\ldots..\ldots\ldots.\ldots..\ldots\text{...}\mathrm{}(4)$

Subtracting (3) from 3 times (1), we have

$3y-5z=-3\ldots\ldots...\ldots\ldots..\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots.\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots..\ldots\ldots(5)$

From (4) and (5), we can solve for y and z.

Subtract 5 times (5) from 3 times (4)

$\begin{gathered} 13z=-48 \\ \\ z=-\frac{48}{13} \end{gathered}$

Using the value of z obtained in (5), we have

$\begin{gathered} 3y-5(-\frac{48}{13})=-3 \\ \\ 3y+\frac{240}{13}=-3 \\ \\ 3y=-3-\frac{240}{13} \\ \\ 3y=-\frac{279}{13} \\ \\ y=-\frac{279}{39} \end{gathered}$

Using the values obtained for y and z in (1), we have

$\begin{gathered} x+3(-\frac{279}{39})-(-\frac{48}{13})=-4 \\ \\ x-\frac{279}{13}+\frac{48}{13}=-4 \\ \\ x-\frac{231}{13}=-4 \\ \\ x=-4+\frac{231}{13} \\ \\ x=\frac{179}{13} \end{gathered}$

A young lady started working at In N Out Burger:

kogti [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6. 13/hour

7. R=income/hours worked so 221/17=13. Not sure if that is what they are asking for.

8. Not sure. Is it $13/hour?

9. still guessing but the constant is $13/hour so to determine how many hours need to be worked to reach $1000, you divide. $1000/13=Approximately 77 hours.

Tell whether the pair of polygons is similar. Explain why or why not.

Savatey [412]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

not similar

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar polygons have all corresponding angles congruent, and corresponding sides proportional.

The sides lengths guarantee the polygons are parallelograms, so one pair of angles being congruent is sufficient to ensure that all corresponding angles are congruent.

The ratio of side lengths in the left polygon is 13/8, and the ratio of side lengths in the right polygon is 5.2/2.4 = 13/6. These are different ratios, so the corresponding sides are NOT proportional.

The figures are NOT SIMILAR.
