Answer: the system has one solution which is x = 0, y = 5.

Explanation:

The pair of equations given constitute a system of two equations with two variables.

A system of linear equations may have a single solution, no solution (parallel lines) or infinite solutions (same line).

To find the solution or determine whether the system has one or infinite solutions, you may manipulate the equations.

This is the original systeym as given:

2y = x + 10
3y = 3x + 15.

Multiply the first equation by 3 and the second equation by 2:

6y = 3x + 30
6y = 6x + 30

Subtract the first equation from the second:

0 = 3x
⇒ x = 0

Substitute x = 0 in any of the original equations to find y:

2y = 0 + 10
2y = 10
y = 10 / 2
y = 5

Hence, the system has one solution which is x = 0, y = 5.

1. A rabbit can hop 6 feet in 2 seconds and 12 feet in 4 seconds. If the number of feet varies directly with the time the rabbit

kykrilka [37]

Answer: The rabbit is hopping at 3 feet/ sec in speed

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Let the The number of feet of the rabbit be expressed as N

AND time rabbit spends hopping can be expressed as t

From the question, The number of feet varies directly with the time rabbit spends hopping can be expressed as

N α t

Let us introduce a constant of proportionality ,S which represents speed in this case, we now have that

N = St

STEP 2 -- SOLVING

If the rabbit hop 6 feet in 2 seconds, Then speed =

N = St

6= S X2

S = 6/ 2

S = 3

also

If the rabbit hop 12 feet in 4 seconds, Then speed =

N = St

12= S X 4

S = 12/ 4

S = 3

Also recall

that Speed = Distance / time

Pluging the values in the first case,

speed = 6 feet/ 2 secconds = 3 feet/ seconds

in the second case

Speed= 12 feet/ 4 second s= 3 feet/ secs.

Someone please help me

Troyanec [42]

Pythagorean theorem is $a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}$
and using that sin is opposite/hypotenuse, you can find the third side of the triangle.
$11^{2}+(adjacent)^{2} = 61^{2} \\ 121+ (adjacent)^{2} = 3721 \\ (adjacent)^{2}=3600 \\ adjacent = 60$
now you know adjacent is 60, so cos=60/61

FIND THE AREA OF THE FIGURE BELOW

Romashka [77]

Answer:

220 squared units

Step-by-step explanation:

first, find the area of the rectangle by multiplying 8 by 20. Then, fin the area of the triangle by multiplying 6 by 20 and then dividing the result by 2.

8*20=160

6*20=120

120/2=60

Finally, add them together and you get 220 units squared.
