Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + 13y = 232
12x + 7y = 218
For each choice:
a) The first equation can be multiplied by –13 and the second equation by 7 to eliminate y. So we have
- 65x - 169y = - 3016
84x + 49y = 1526
Can not eliminate x and y.
b) The first equation can be multiplied by 7 and the second equation by 13 to eliminate y. So we have
35x + 91 y = 1624
156x + 91y = 2834
Can not eliminate x and y if we ADD.
<em>(If we subtract, this is Yes)</em>
<em></em>
c) The first equation can be multiplied by –12 and the second equation by 5 to eliminate x.
-60x - 156y = - 2784
60x + 35y = 1090
The answer is YES
d) The first equation can be multiplied by 5 and the second equation by 12 to eliminate x.
25x + 65y = 1160
144x + 84y = 2616
Can not eliminate x and y
The final answer is C
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
From the table given in the question,
x y Difference Ratio
1 12 - -
2 36 36-12 = 24 
3 108 108-36 = 72 
4 324 324-108 = 216 
5 972 972-324 = 648 
There is a common ratio of 3 in each successive term.
Therefore, data given in the table will represent an exponential function.

For a point 

------(1)
For another point of the table
,

--------(2)
Equation (2) divided by equation (1)


From equation (1),


Therefore, exponential function will be,

Answer:
Time of murder = 10:39 am
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the equation of exponential function representing the final temperature of the body after time 't' is,
f(t) = 
Here, a = Initial temperature
n = Constant for the change in temperature
t = Duration
At 11:30 am temperature of the body was 91.8°F.
91.8 =
--------(1)
Time to reach the body to the morgue = 12:30 pm
Duration to reach = 12:30 p.m. - 11:30 a.m.
= 1 hour
Therefore, equation will be,
84.4 = 
eⁿ = 
ln(eⁿ) = ln(0.9194)
n = -0.08403
From equation (1),
91.8 = 

![ln[(e)^{0.08403t}]=ln[\frac{98.6}{91.8}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=ln%5B%28e%29%5E%7B0.08403t%7D%5D%3Dln%5B%5Cfrac%7B98.6%7D%7B91.8%7D%5D)
0.08403t = 0.07146
t = 0.85 hours
t ≈ 51 minutes
Therefore, murder was done 51 minutes before the detectives arrival.
Time of murder = 11:30 - 00:51
= 10:90 - 00:51
= 10:39 am
