(1) Ax + By = C (2) Dx + Ey = F Jim is trying to solve the system of equations. He begins by multiplying equation (1) by D and e

quation (2) by A. Before he can continue, his friend Angela comes by and says, "No, you should have multiplied equation (1) by E and equation (2) by B. You're going to get the wrong answer." Is Angela right? Why or why not?

Answer:

No, Angela is not correct.

As the method Jim was performing will also lead to the solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given first equation as:

                  Ax + By = C

Second equation is:

                   Dx + Ey = F

Jim solved the equation as:

He begins by multiplying equation (1) by D and equation (2) by A.

and so by subtracting both the equations he will obtain a value of y.

and then put the y-value in any of the given two equations to obtain the value of x.

Angela Method:

you should have multiplied equation (1) by E and equation (2) by B.

and when she will subtract both the equations she will get the value of x first and then when she will put the value of x in any of the given equation she will obtain the value of y.

But both will get a value for x and y.

Hence, the method Jim was performing was also correct.

Which answer describes the type of sequence? 200, 40, 8, 1.6, ...
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Option 1  the given sequence is a geometric.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given with the series

200,40,8,1.6

Arithmetic sequence is the sequence in which difference between consecutive terms is same that is common difference d

d=a_2-a_1

d=40-200=-160   herea_2=40,a_1=200

d=8-40=-32          herea_2=8,a_1=40

We can see the difference is not same

Hence, the given sequence is not arithmetic sequence.


Geometric sequence is the sequence in which ratio of consecutive terms is same that is common ratio r

r=\frac{a_2}{a_1}

r=\frac{40}{200}=\frac{1}{5}   herea_2=40,a_1=200

r=\frac{8}{40}=\frac{1}{5}          herea_2=8,a_1=40

r=\frac{1.6}{8}=\frac{1}{5}             herea_2=1.6,a_1=8

We can see the ratio is  same.

Hence, given sequence is geometric

Therefore, Option 1 is correct given sequence is geometric.

Megan starts eating breakfast at 9:54 AM. Tell what time she is done with breakfast if she takes the given number of minutes to
Studentka2010 [4]

The time she will be done with her breakfast is by = 10:48 am

<h3>Conversation of time</h3>

The time Megan started her breakfast = 9:54 AM.

In terms of hours = 9

In terms of minutes = 54

If she takes the given number of minutes to eat which is = 54 mins .

Therefore, the time she will be done with her breakfast is = 9:54 + 54

= 10: 48 am

A cylindrical can of soup has a diameter of 7 cm and a height of 10 cm. How much soup is in the can, in terms of π?
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

B) 122.5π cm3

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cylinder = \pi r^{2} h

r= radius , but we are given diameter or 7cm, radius = diameter/2 =7/2 = 3.5cm

h= height, given as 10cm

\pi = constant

Next, plug in the numbers into the formula;

=\pi *3.5^{2} *10\\ \\ =\pi *12.25 *10\\ \\ =122.5\pi

Therefore, the volume of soup in the can is 122.5\pi cm^{3}
