Answer:
3 (5x+2y = 0)
2 (2x – 3y = -19)
Step-by-step explanation:
5x+2y=0 (1)
2x-3y=-19 (2)
To eliminate y from the first two equation when applying the linear combination method
We will multiply y Equation (1) and (2) with 3 and 2 respectively so that the coefficients of y in the two equations +6 and -6 respectively
3(5x+2y=0)
2(2x-3y=-19)
We have,
15x+6y=0 (3)
4x-6y= -38 (4)
Add Equation (3) and (4)
19x=-38
x= -2
Substitute x= -2 into (1)
5x+2y=0
5(-2)+2y=0
-10+2y=0
-10= -2y
y=-10/-2
=5
y=5, x=-2
Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference between consecutive integers is 1.
The difference between consecutive odd integers is 2.
Let the smallest odd integer be x.
Then the next greater one is x + 2. The greatest one is x + 4.
"3 times the first" is 3x
"twice the third" is 2(x + 4)
"3 times the first of three consecutive odd integers is 3 more than twice the third"
3x = 2(x + 4) + 3
3x = 2x + 8 + 3
x = 11
The smallest integer is 11.
x + 4 = 11 + 4 = 15
The greatest one is 15.
Answer:
The answer is B. 12 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
ABC is a right triangle
AB and BC are the legs and AC is the hypotenuse.
The Pythagorean theorem a^2 + b^2 = c^2 can be manipulated to solve for a and get 12.
Answer:
3/12 = 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 12 marbles in the bag. If the marble drawn at random is red, it is one of the 3 red marbles.
The probability is "3 out of 12" = 3/12 which simplifies to 1/4.
