Answer:
x = -10
y = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
-3x + 2y = 56
-5x - 2y = 24
__________ +
-8x____ = 80
x______= 80/-8
______x = -10
-3x + 2y = 56
-3(-10) + 2y = 56
30 + 2y = 56
2y = 56 - 30
2y = 26
y = 26/2
y = 13
Answer:
8 pounds of 4% solution of borax
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the 4% solution
24 pounds of 12% solution
obtain a 10% solution of borax that is (x+24) pounds
4% is 0.04 and 12% is 0.12 , 10% is 0.1
solve the equation for x
so 8 pounds of 4% solution of borax
I found your complete question in another source.
See attached image.
For this case what you should see is that you have two similar triangles.
We then have the following relationship:
((AB) / (BX)) = ((CD) / (DX))
We cleared CD:
CD = ((AB) / (BX)) * (DX)
Substituting the values:
CD = ((12) / (5)) * (2.5)
CD = 6
Answer:
CD = 6
.5 * .5 is .25 just multiply twice since .5 is squared ( .5 is the same as 1/2)
Glad to help:)
The slope would be equal to 1/3
