Answer:

x=o and y= -6

Step-by-step explanation:

12-2x = - 2(y-x)

or,12-2x = -2y + 2x

or, 12 = - 2y + 4x

or, 12/2= 2x - y

or, 2x - y = 6

• 2x -6= y.....eqn_1

-2x=-2y+2x -12

or,4x +2y= -12

or,4x + 2(2x-6)= -12

or, 4x+4x-12=-12

or, 8x= 0

• x= o

putting the value of x in eqn...3

o=(y-0)+6

or, o= y + 6

•y = -6

Terry and Callie do word processing. For a certain prospectus Callie can prepare it two hours faster than Terry can. If they wor

Dahasolnce [82]

Time taken by jerry alone is 10.1 hours

Time taken by callie alone is 8.1 hours

<u>Solution:</u>

Given:- For a certain prospectus Callie can prepare it two hours faster than Terry can

Let the time taken by Terry be "a" hours

So, the time taken by Callie will be (a-2) hours

Hence, the efficiency of Callie and Terry per hour is $\frac{1}{a-2} \text { and } \frac{1}{a} \text { respectively }$

If they work together they can do the entire prospectus in five hours

$\text {So, } \frac{1}{a-2}+\frac{1}{a}=\frac{1}{5}$

On cross-multiplication we get,

$\frac{a+(a-2)}{(a-2) \times a}=\frac{1}{5}$

$\frac{2 a-2}{(a-2) \times a}=\frac{1}{5}$

On cross multiplication ,we get

$\begin{array}{l}{5 \times(2 a-2)=a \times(a-2)} \\\\ {10 a-10=a^{2}-2 a} \\\\ {a^{2}-2 a-10 a+10=0} \\\\ {a^{2}-12 a+10=0}\end{array}$

<em><u>using quadratic formula:-</u></em>

$x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}$

$x=\frac{12 \pm \sqrt{144-40}}{2}$

$\begin{array}{l}{x=\frac{12 \pm \sqrt{144-40}}{2}} \\\\ {x=\frac{12 \pm \sqrt{104}}{2}} \\\\ {x=\frac{12 \pm 2 \sqrt{26}}{2}} \\\\ {x=6 \pm \sqrt{26}=6 \pm 5.1} \\\\ {x=10.1 \text { or } x=0.9}\end{array}$

If we take a = 0.9, then while calculating time taken by callie = a - 2 we will end up in negative value

Let us take a = 10.1

So time taken by jerry alone = a = 10.1 hours

Time taken by callie alone = a - 2 = 10.1 - 2 = 8.1 hours

A car travels at a constant speed.

ad-work [718]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Given</h3>

Distance is 142.2 m, correct to 1 decimal place
Time is 7 seconds, correct to nearest second

Upper bound for the speed

<h3>Solution </h3>

<em>Upper bound for the speed = upper bound for distance/lower bound for time</em>

Upper bound for distance = 142.25 m (added 0.1/5 = 0.05)
Lower bound for time = 6.5 seconds (subtracted 1/2 = 0.5)

<u>Then, the speed is:</u>

142.25/6.5 = 21.88 m/s
21.88 = 21.9 m/s correct to 1 decimal place
21.88 = 22 m/s correct to nearest m/s

A conference center has 12 rooms that each have a floor area of 875 square feet and 6 rooms that each have a floor area of 950 s

Katyanochek1 [597]

875 x 12 = 10500ft squared
950 x 6 = 5700ft squared
10500 + 5700 = 16200

the total floor area is 16200 squared feet
