Alright...simple...showing all steps.. ;)
You have the equations...
2x+y=7
and
3x+5y=14
To be able to even solve for any of the variables...multiply the equations by...2...and..3...
2x+y=7----*3--> 6x+3y=21
and
3x+5y=14-----*2--->6x+10y=28
Thus,
6x+3y=21
-
6x+10y=28
=========
-7y=-7
y=1
Now, plug y back into any of the original equations....we'll use 2x+y=7 in this case....
2x+(1)=7
2x+1=7
-1 -1
2x=6
x=3
Thus, the point of intersection for these two equations is (3,1)
To solve for the midpoint of the segment we use the equation that is given as:
(x1 + x2 / 2) , (y1 + y2 / 2)
For the points given,
(x1 + x2 / 2) , (y1 + y2 / 2)
(3+ 2 / 2) , (-5 + 9 / 2)
(5/2 , 2) or (2.5 , 2)
Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.
Answer:
The answer to the test is 1. B 2.C 3.B 4.A and this is one is C for the answer.
Very easy:
Find volume by formula: W*H*L
6*5*4=120
10*10*2=200
120+200=320 cubic inches for first question
