(Note: I am solving the system of equations using the elimination method)

1. Cancel out a variable and add the polynomials
x + y = 35
x - y = 9
2x = 44
2       2
x  = 22

2. Substitute and solve for the other variable
(22) + y = 35
22 + y = 35
-22         -22
y = 13

3. Substitute Ordered Pairs (Optional)
(22) + (13) = 35
35 = 35

22 women and 13 men were at the game.

Answer:

11.) 10w^2 + 43w + 21.

12.) -15y^2 - 2y + 8

Check the explanation for details

Step-by-step explanation:

11.) You are meant to multiply each row by both columns. For instance, multiply 5w by 2w and 7 you will get 10 w^2 and 35 w

Also, multiply 3 by both 2w and 7 you will get 6w and 21. Therefore,

Expansion of ( 5w + 3 )( 2w + 7 ) will produce 10w^2 + 37w + 6w + 21

= 10w^2 + 43w + 21.

12.) Repeat the same process by multiplying row by column.

Multiply -3y by 5y and 4 you will get -15y^2 and -12y.

Also, multiply 2 by same 5y and 4. You will get 10y and 8

Therefore, the expansion of

( -3y + 2 )( 5y + 4 ) will be

-15y^2 - 12y + 10y + 8

-15y^2 - 2y + 8

On a scale drawing 2 centimeters represent 50 meters. How many centimeters represent 5 meters?
Tanya [424]

Answer:

0.2 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:
Strategy 1:

Make the equation: 5=a•s, where s is the scale factor and "a" is the number of centimeters which 5 meters

First, we need to find the scale factor. 50 meters would be s times greater than 2 centimeters. Find s by first converting meters into centimeters
50m=5000cm. 5000cm=2cm*s, so s = 2500
5m=a*2500, a=0.002 meters, and 0.002 meters is equal to 0.2 centimeters.

Strategy 2:
the ratio of the scale drawing to real life will always stay the same, so
2 cm / 50 meters = x / 5 meters, and cross multiply to get
x cm* 50 m = 2 cm * 5 m, so
x cm * 10 = 2 cm
x cm = 2/10 cm
x cm = 0.2 cm

Strategy 3:
Notice that 5 meters is 10 times smaller than 50 meters, so on the scale drawing, we are looking for a number 10 times smaller than 2 centimeters, so  2/10=0.2 cm
