This is a poor definition because it is not descriptive. If you would have said, "Elephants are an animal that have gigantic feet and gigantic bodies. Elephants also have a trunk that they use to drink water. Along with the trunk elephants also have a mouth." Yes elephant are a gigantic animal, but you have to have reasoning something to back it up or just make it more unique.

Find the solution of this system of equations<br> 4x - 5y = -12<br> -X + 5y = 18
Natalka [10]

4x - 5y = -12

-x + 5y = 18

Add the equations together:

4x + -x = 3x

-5y + 5y = 0

-12 + 18 = 6

So now you have:

3x = 6

Divide both sides by 3:

X = 2

Now you have the value of x, replace x with 2 in one of the equations and solve for y:

4(2) -5y = -12

8 -5y = -12

Subtract 8 from both sides:

-5y = -20

Divide both sides by -5:

Y = 4

The solution is x = 2 and y = 4 which is written as (2,4)

A total of 17,100 seats are still available for the next hockey game. If 62% of the tickets are sold, how many seats are in the
MrRa [10]

Answer:

We have

seats x ( 62 / 100 ) = (seats - 17,100);

seats x 62 = 100 x (seats - 17,100);

seats x 62 = seats x 100 - 1710000;

1,710,000 = seats x 38;

seats = 1,710,000 ÷ 38;

seats = 45,000;

The correct answer is c. 45,000 seats;

Use the euclidean algorithm to find
kvasek [131]
A)
18=1\cdot12+6
12=2\cdot6+0
\implies\mathrm{gcd}(12,18)=6

b)
201=1\cdot111+90
111=1\cdot90+21
90=4\cdot21+6
21=3\cdot6+3
6=2\cdot3+0
\implies\mathrm{gcd}(111,201)=3

c)
1331=1\cdot1001+330
1001=3\cdot330+11
330=30\cdot11+0
\implies\mathrm{gcd}(1001,1331)=11

d)
54321=4\cdot12345+4941
12345=2\cdot4941+2463
4941=2\cdot2463+15
2463=164\cdot15+3
15=5\cdot3+0
\implies\mathrm{gcd}(12345,54321)=3

e)
5040=5\cdot1000+40
1000=25\cdot40+0
\implies\mathrm{gcd}(1000,5040)=40

f)
9888=1\cdot6060+3828
6060=1\cdot3828+2232
3828=1\cdot2232+1596
2232=1\cdot1596+636
1596=2\cdot636+324
636=1\cdot324+312
324=1\cdot312+12
312=26\cdot12+0
\implies\mathrm{gcd}(9888,6060)=12
