Find 9/20 of 100
9/20 * 100 = 900/20 = 45
So 45 people voted to change the law, and that's not enough.
Step-by-step explanation:
x=-10 is ur answer try it!
<span>Multiply one of the equations so that both equations share a common complementary coefficient.
In order to solve using the elimination method, you need to have a matching coefficient that will cancel out a variable when you add the equations together. For the 2 equations given, you have a huge number of choices. I'll just mention a few of them.
You can multiply the 1st equation by -2/5 to allow cancelling the a term.
You can multiply the 1st equation by 5/3 to allow cancelling the b term.
You can multiply the 2nd equation by -2.5 to allow cancelling the a term.
You can multiply the 2nd equation by 3/5 to allow cancelling the b term.
You can even multiply both equations.
For instance, multiply the 1st equation by 5 and the second by 3. And in fact, let's do that.
5a + 3b = –9
2a – 5b = –16
5*(5a + 3b = -9) = 25a + 15b = -45
3*(2a - 5b = -16) = 6a - 15b = -48
Then add the equations
25a + 15b = -45
6a - 15b = -48
=
31a = -93
a = -3
And then plug in the discovered value of a into one of the original equations and solve for b.</span>
For a right triangle, the sum of the squares of two shorter side should be equal to the square of the third side. The calculations for each choices are shown below.
a. (5 mm)² + (12 mm)² = 169 mm² ; (13 mm)² = 169 mm² ; EQUAL
b. (20 mm)² + (48 mm)² = 2704 mm² ; (52 mm)² = 2704 mm² ; EQUAL
c. (6 mm)² + (8 mm)² = 100 mm² ; (10 mm)² = 100 mm² ; EQUAL
d. (11 mm)² + (24 mm)² = 697 mm² ; (26 mm)² = 676 mm² ; NOT EQUAL
Therefore, the answer is letter D.
