Paladinen [302]3 years ago

Answer:

x = - 5, y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

3x + 2y = - 9 → (1)

4x - 2y = - 26 → (2)

Adding (1) and (2) term by term eliminates the y- term, that is

7x = - 35 ( divide both sides by 7 )

x = - 5

Substitute x = - 5 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting into (1)

3(- 5) + 2y = - 9

- 15 + 2y = - 9 ( add 15 to both sides )

2y = 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = 3

The width of a deck is 5 feet shorter than its length. The equation that represents this situation is y = x – 5. What does x rep
ollegr [7]

X represents the length of a deck. There are three parts to this equations. The 1. width, 2. the length, and 3. the 5 feet shorter. Using the key words, y = the width of a deck (uses the term is which means =) So that takes the width part out of the equation. Then, 5 feet shorter means -5 than a number. That takes away the 5 feet shorter part of the equation. That leaves x to equal the length of the deck.

An object has a weight of 6.4 N.
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can do this quite simply by using Newton's equation: forcegravity = G × M × mseparation2 .

Suppose: your mass, m, is 60 kilogram; the mass of your colleague, M, is 70 kg; your centre-to-centre separation, r, is 1 m; and G is 6.67 × 10 -11 newton square metre kilogram-2.
