Answer:

x=-4, y=2. (-4, 2).

Step-by-step explanation:

5x+6y=-8

-2x+8y=24

-----------------

2(5x+6y)=2(-8)

5(-2x+8y)=5(24)

-----------------------

10x+12y=-16

-10x+40y=120

---------------------

52y=104

y=104/52

y=2

5x+6(2)=-8

5x+12=-8

5x=-8-12

5x=-20

x=-20/5

x=-4

Jack is car salesman who works strictly on commision. For every car he sells, he earns 2% commision. Cars sell for $35,000 each.

Dafna11 [192]

He earns 2% commission for every car...and each car sells for 35,000....
so for every car, he earns (0.02(35000) = $ 700

700c = 5000
c = 5000/700
c = 7.14....so he would basically have to sell 8 cars because 7 cars wouldnt quite be enough

The right rectangular prism is made up of 48 cubes. Each cube has an edge length of inch. What is the volume of this prism?

Gnesinka [82]

Given:

The right rectangular prism is made up of 48 cubes.
Each cube has an edge length of 1/4 inch.

$~$

To Find:

What is the volume of this prism?

$~$

Solution:

$~$

Using formula: 

$~$

$\sf \pmb {Volume \: of \: cube = {(side)}^{3} }$

$~$

Substituting values in the formula:

$~$

$\sf \longrightarrow \dfrac{1}{4} \times \dfrac{1}{4} \times \dfrac{1}{4}$

$\sf \longrightarrow \dfrac{1}{64} \: {inch}^{3}$

$~$

Now,

Volume of 48 such cubes = Volume of 1 cube × 48 cubes

$~$

$\sf \longrightarrow \dfrac{1}{64} \times 48$

$\sf \longrightarrow \dfrac{48}{64}$

$\sf \longrightarrow \dfrac{3}{4} \: {inch}^{3}$

$~$

Hence,

Volume of prism is 3/4 inch^3

A bar of gold has a volume of 722 cubic centimeters and weighs 13.949 kilograms. What's its density in grams per cubic centimete

Ahat [919]

Answer:

The density of the bar of gold is 19.32 grams per cubic centimeter .

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

$Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}$

As given

A bar of gold has a volume of 722 cubic centimeters and weighs 13.949 kilograms.

As 1 kilogram = 1000 gram

Than convert 13.949 kilograms into grams.

13.949 kilograms = 13.949 × 1000 grams

= 13949 grams

Mass = 13949 grams

Volume = 722 cubic centimeter

As put in the formula

$Density = \frac{13949}{722}$

Density = 19.32 grams per cubic centimeter (Approx)

Therefore the density of the bar of gold is 19.32 grams per cubic centimeter .
