Answer:

x = 136/35; y = -⁹/₁₀

Step-by-step explanation:

(1)         7x + 8y = 20

(2)        7x – 2y = 29       Subtract (2) from (1)

                  10y =  -9        Divide each side by 10

(3)                 y =  -⁹/₁₀     Substitute (3) into (1)

      7x - 2(-⁹/₁₀) = 29

      7x + 18/10  = 29                       Subtract 18/10 from each side

      7x              =      29 - 18/10

      7x              = (290 - 18)/10

      7x              =          272/10        Divide each side by 7

        x              =           272/70

        x              =           136/35

x = 136/35; y = -⁹/₁₀

Check:

(1) 7(136/35) + 8(-⁹/₁₀) = 20

      136/5    -   72/10 = 20

      136/5    -   36/5  = 20

                      100/5  = 20

                       20      = 20

(2) 7(136/35) – 2(-⁹/₁₀)  = 29

       136/5    +    18/10 = 29

       136/5    +      ⁹/₅    = 29

                        145/5  = 29

                        29       = 29

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

  33 1/3 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distance between them goes from 8 ft to 12 ft, it is 1.5 times what it was. Then the force will be multiplied by the inverse of the square of this:

  (75 lb)×1/(1.5²) = 75/2.25 lb = 33 1/3 lb

At 12 feet apart, the attraction force is 33 1/3 pounds.

I need to know the answer and how to solve it
Alecsey [184]
First of all, read the statement and understand what it means.

"The temperature was at least 36 degrees" means the temperature was 36 degrees or more, that is, "greater than or equal to 36 degrees".

Second. understand that we are comparing "temperature" to "36 degrees". That is, the variable will represent temperature. I like to use single-letter variable names that remind me of what they represent, so I would choose "t" or "T". You can use "kay" to remind you of something hot, or "splat" or "q" or anything else you might choose. It doesn't have to be a single letter, nor does it have to make any sense. (Later, when you revisit the problem, it works better if it *does* make sense.)

We've already figured out we want the comparison to be "greater than or equal to", so we need both the > symbol and the = symbol.

Of course, the number is 36, since you are told to use the number given. In some problems, you may want to convert the number to different units before you put it in the comparison.

When calculating for volume, you use the area of the 2D shape. <br><br> True or false.
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

I think true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Whereas the basic formula for the area of a rectangular shape is length × width, the basic formula for volume is length × width × height.
