Answer: 69 runners made it to the finish line.

Step-by-step explanation:

8% decrease implies 8/100 × 75 runners

8% Decrease = 6

Runners that made it will be 75 - 6

= 69 runners

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If there was an an 8% decrease, it means 92℅ of the runners made it to the finish line

Number of runners that made it =(92/100) × 75

=0.92×75 =69

69 runners made it to the finish line

Answer:

<u>Options 1 and 3</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

We should know that, the system of linear equations can be treated as matrices, i.e: we can modify or make any operations provide that we must apply the same operation for all terms of each equation.

Given:  the solution for the following system is (2,9)

Px + Qy = R  ⇒(1)

Tx + Uy = V  ⇒(2)

We will check which system of equation has the same solution.

<u>System A)</u>  Px + Qy = R

                  (P+T)x + (Q+U)y = R+V  ⇒(3)

So, By summing (1) and (2) we will get the equation (3)

So, system A has the same solution (2,9)

<u>System B)</u> Px + Qy = R

                 (P+2T)x + (Q+2U)y = R-2V  ⇒(4)

By multiplying equation (2) by 2 and add with equation (1), we will get:

 (P+2T)x + (Q+2U)y = R+2V

Which is not the same as equation (4)

So, system B has not the same solution (2,9)

<u>System C)</u> (T-P)x + (U-Q)y = V-R  ⇒(5)

                  Tx + Uy = V  

By multiplying equation (1) by -1 and add with equation (2), we will get the equation (5)

So, system C has the same solution of (2,9)

<u>System D)</u> (T-P)x + (Q+U)y = V-R  ⇒(6)

                  Tx + Uy = V  

We cannot get equation (6) by the same operation over equation (1)

Note the coefficient of x and y⇒ (T-P) and (Q+U)

They must be (T+P) and (Q+U) <u>OR </u>(T-P) and (Q-U)

So, system D has not the same solution of (2,9)

<u>System E)</u> (5T-P)x + (5U-Q)y = V-5R ⇒ (6)

                  Tx + Uy = V  

By subtract equation (1) from 5 times equation (2), we will get:

(5T-P)x + (5U-Q)y = 5V-R

Which is not the same as equation (6)

So, system E has not the same solution (2,9)

As a conclusion, the systems which have the same solution are:

In the figure below, if the radius of circle o
Aliun [14]

Answer:

The length of AC is 10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given circle O

∵ AOCB is a rectangle

∵ OB and AC are the diagonals of the rectangle AOCB

∵ Diagonals of the rectangle are equal in lengths

→ That means OB and AC are equal in lengths

∴ OB = AC

∵ O is the center of the circle

∵ B is a point on the circle

∴ OB is a radius of the circle O

∵ The radius of the circle is 10 units

∴ OB = 10 units

∵ OB = AC

∴ AC = 10 units

∴ The length of AC is 10 units

Solve for x<br> -3(x + 4) - 2 = -2(x - 5)<br> x= -4<br> x = -11/5<br> x = 24<br> x = -24
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

-24

Step-by-step explanation:

-3 (x + 4) - 2 = -2 (x - 5)

-3x - 12 - 2 = -2x + 10

-3x + 2x = 10 + 12 + 2

-x = 24

x = -24
