Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
5/y + 7/x =24.........(1)
12/y + 2/x =24........(2)
Let 1/y = a and 1/x = b
5a + 7b = 24 ...........(3)
12a + 2b = 24...........(4)
Multiply (3) by 2 and (4) by 7
10a + 14b = 48..........(5)
84a + 14b = 168.........(6)
Substracting (5) from (6)
84a - 10a = 168 - 48
74a = 120
a = 120/74
a = 60/37
Putting a = 60/37 in (3)
5a + 7b = 24
5(60/37) + 7b = 24
300/37 + 7b = 24
Multiply each term 37
300 + 259b = 888
259b = 888 - 300
259b = 588
b = 588/259
And a = 1/y
60/37 = 1/y
Cross multiply
60y = 37
y = 37/60
Also
b = 1/x
588/259 = 1/x
Cross multiply
588x = 259
x = 259/588
The answer is c I can help if you have anymore
Its a solution. There is no way that you can solve it if it is an equation.
Answer:
The surface area of the prism is 72 square units.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to calculate the surface area of the prism we must calculate the area of each face of the prism. To better visualize it we can look at the picture below. We must calculate the area of every face in the picture, so we have:
surface area = 2*[(1/2)*3*4] + 3*5 + 4*5 + 5*5
surface area = 12 + 15 + 20 + 25
surface area = 72 square units
