2a + 3b = 6 --> Equation 1
5a + 2b = 4 --> Equation 2
Equation 1 * 5 --> 10a + 15b = 30
Equation 2 * 2 --> 10a + 4b = 8
Equation 1 - Equation 2 --> 11b = 22 --> b = 2
Sub b=2 in Equation 1 (or 2, either works):
2a + 3b = 6
2a + 3(2) = 6
2a + 6 = 6
2a = 0
a = 0

b = 2, a = 0

Make in form
ax+by=c

add 4 to both sides in 2nd equaiton

5a+2b=4

now
elimiate a variable
I choose b
multiply top equation by -2 and 2nd by 3
add

-4a-6b=-12
<u>15a+6b=12 +</u>
11a+0b=0

11a=0
a=0
nice

sub back
5a+2b=4
5(0)+2b=4
2b=4
divide 2
b=2


a=0
b=2
if in form (a,b)
(0,2)

a triangular sail has sides of 10 ft ,24ft,and 26ft .if the shortest side of a similar sail measures 6ft , what is the measure o
Katarina [22]

Answer:

15.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sails are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal.

Comparing the shortest sides, that is

10 : 6 = 5 : 3

let the longest side be x, then using proportion

\frac{26}{5} = \frac{x}{3} ( cross- multiply )

5x = 78 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 15.6

The longest side is 15.6 ft

There are 3 red and 8 green balls in a bag. If you randomly choose balls one at a time, with replacement, what is the probabilit
Kaylis [27]

So, the total number of balls is 11. We want to pick 2 red balls and 1 green ball. WLOG (since order doesnt matter here), we can say he picks red, green, red. That means on his first pick, he has a \frac{3}{11} chance of picking the red ball, and he places it back in the bag. The probability of picking a green ball is \frac{8}{11}, and then he places the ball back in the bag. The probability of picking the last red ball is the same as the last red ball example, and we simply multiply the probabilities together as per the multiplication rule to get:

\frac{3}{11}\frac{3}{11}\frac{8}{11}=\frac{3*3*8}{11^3}=\frac{72}{1331}

Now, without replacement the order does matter. He picks a red ball, a red ball then a green ball. The probability of picking the first red ball is\frac{2}{11}, and the probability of picking the second red ball is \frac{1}{10} and the probability of picking the green ball is\frac{1}{9}. We want to multiply thm again, as per the multiplication rule like the last problem.

\frac{2}{11}*\frac{1}{10}*\frac{1}{9}=\frac{1}{11*5*9}=\frac{1}{495}

Write the equation of the line given the slope and a point through the line passes
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

1.) Y = 5/3 X + 4

2.) Y = 9/4 X - 27/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the slope and the coordinate, linear equation of a line can be expressed by using general linear equation. Which is

Y = MX + C

Where the

Slope M = 5/3

Coordinate = (-3,-1) in which

X = -3, Y = -1

Substitute X, Y and M into the general linear equation to achieve C

-1 = 5/3(-3) + C

-1 = - 5 + C

C = 5 - 1

C = 4

Substitute C and M back into the general linear equation.

Therefore, the equation of the line given the slope and a point through the line passes 5/3, and (-3,-1) to be

Y = 5/3 X + 4

2.) Also,

Slope M = 9/4

Coordinate = (3,0) where X = 3, Y = 0

Substitute X, Y and M into the general linear equation to obtain C

0 = 9/4 (3) + C

C = - 27/4

Substitutes C and M back into the general linear equation

Therefore, the equation of the line given the slope and a point through the line passes 9/4 and (3,0)

Y = 9/4 X - 27/4
