Answer:
The solution is (0, 3/4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Please copy and share the instructions. Here they are: Solve the following system of linear equations.
Both of the equations can be reduced (simplified):
2x+8y = 6 => x + 4y = 3
15x + 20y = 15 => 3x + 4y = 3
Let's use the elimination by addition and subtraction method. Multiply the first equation by -1, obtaining
-x - 4y = -3
Add the second 3x + 4y = 3
equation to the
first.
We get: 2x = 0.
Thus, x = 0. Substituting 0 for x in the 1st original equation yields:
2(0) + 8y = 6. Then y = 6/8, or y = 3/4.
The solution is (0, 3/4).
Answer:
Square I think
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 3
Step-by-step explanation:
6/8 is the same as 3/4;
there are 3 lots of 1/4 in 3/4
Answer:
x=5 x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 - 8x + 15 = 0
Factor
What 2 numbers multiply to 15 and add to -8
-5*-3 = 15
-5-3 = -8
(x-5)(x-3) =0
Using the zero product property
x-5 =0 x-3 =0
x=5 x=3
I'll do the first two problems to get you started. All problems shown will use the same formula.
===========================================
Problem 4
The formula to use is
C = 100*(B-A)/A
where
A = old value
B = new value
C = percent change
In this case, A = 12 and B = 36, so
C = 100*(B-A)/A
C = 100*(36-12)/12
C = 100*(24/12)
C = 100*2
C = 200%
We have a 200% increase. It is an increase because the value of C is positive.
===========================================
Problem 5
Use the same formula as in the previous problem. This time,
A = 75 is the old value
B = 25 is the new value
C = 100*(B-A)/A
C = 100*(25-75)/75
C = 100*(-50/75)
C = 100*(-2/3)
C = -66.6667%
C = -66.7%
The value of C is negative, so we have a percent decrease of roughly 66.7%
