Solve the system of linear equations below. 4x - 3y = 17 5x + 4y = 60

1 answer:

5 0

4x-3y=17......(1)
5x+4y=60......(2)

Multiply equation (1) by 4 and equation (2) by 3:-

16x - 12y = 68
15x + 12y = 180

Adding these 2 equations:_

31x = 248
x = 248/31 = 8

Now substitute x = 8 in equation (1):-

4(8) - 3y = 17
32-3y = 17
-3y = -15
y = -15/-3 = 5

So solution is x=8,y=5

A rectangular box has length 20cm, width 6cm and height 4cm. find how many cubes of size 2cm that will fit into the box.

Papessa [141]

Answer:

$\boxed{\pink{\sf The \ number \ of \ cubes \ that \ can \ be \ fitted \ is 60 .}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given dimensions of the box = 20cm × 6cm × 4cm .

Dimension of the cube = 2cm × 2cm × 2cm .

Therefore the number of cubes that can be fitted into the box will be equal to the Volume of box divided by the Volume of the cube. So ,

$\boxed{\red{\bf \implies No. \ of \ cubes \ = \dfrac{Volume \ of \ box}{Volume \ of \ cube }}}$

$\bf \implies n_{cubes} = \dfrac{20cm \times 6cm \times 4cm .}{2cm \times 2cm \times 2cm } \\\\\bf\implies n_{cubes} = 10 \ times 3cm \times 2cm \\\\\implies \boxed{\bf n_{cubes}= 60 }$

<h3>Hence the number of cubes that can be fitted in the box is 60 .</h3>

Solve. | 3x + 1 | = 2

qwelly [4]

Since this is an absolute value equation, it will have two answers. For the first answer, take away the absolute value bars and solve 3x + 1 = 2. Subtract 1 from both sides to get 3x = 1 and divide each side by 3 to get x = 1/3. Now onto the second solution. This time, take away the absolute value bars and make the other side of the equation, the 2, negative, to get 3x + 1 = -2. Now solve this by subtracting 1 from each side to get 3x = -3 and divide each side to get the other answer which is x = -1. The answer is x = -1 or 1/3, hope this helps!
