(6x - 5y = 34 Lin is solving this system of equations: 3x +2y = 8 She starts by rearranging the second equation to isolate the y

variable: y = 4-1.5x. She then substituted the expression 4 - 1.5x for y in the first equation, as shown: 6x - 5(4- 1.5x) 6x - 20 – 7.5x -1.5x 34 = 34 = 54 = -36 Where did Lin go wrong when solving this problem?​

Answer:

It is a little hard to see where your steps are for the equation, but x = 4, and I will explain:

Step-by-step explanation:

We know y = -1.5x +4, so we plug that into the equation

6x - 5(-1.5 + 4) = 34

6x +7.5x - 20 = 34    Here we distributed the -5 into the parenthesis.

13.5x -20 = 34

13.5 = 54

x = 4

Hope this helps!

Let x=small circle
2x = bigger circle

πx^2 + π(2x)^2 = 80π
x^2 + 4x^2 = 80
5x^2 = 80
x^2 = 16
x = +/- 4
but we need the positive one because there's no negative measurement so

This is what I've done so far but does anyone know what I do next or did I make a mistake
grigory [225]
Remmeber, you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides

for inequalities, if you multiply or divide both sides by a negive, flip the direction of the inequality sign

pemdas always applies
but also the commutative property and assiociative property

so
2(5y+13)-6<20
add 6 both sides
2(5y+13)<26
divide both sides by 2 (easier that distributing)
5y+13<13
minus 13 both sides
5y<0
y<0 is the solution

Which choices are equivalent to the fraction below? check all that apply 16/36
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

\frac{16}{36} = \frac{8}{18} = \frac{4}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{16}{36} = \frac{16/4.5}{36/4.5} = \frac{3.5555}{8} \neq  \frac{3}{8} \\\\\frac{16}{36} = \frac{16/12}{36/12} = \frac{1.3333}{3} \neq  \frac{1}{3} \\\\\frac{16}{36} = \frac{16/9}{36/9} = \frac{1.7777}{4} \neq  \frac{1}{4} \\\\\frac{16}{36} = \frac{16/4}{36/4} = \frac{4}{9} \\\\\frac{16}{36} = \frac{16/7.2}{36/7.2} = \frac{2,2222}{5} \neq  \frac{2}{5} \\\\\frac{16}{36} = \frac{16/2}{36/2} = \frac{8}{18} \\\\
