3x - 2y = -17 -> 9x - 6y = -51
3y - 4x = 24 -> 6y - 8x = 48
9x - 6y = -51
6y - 8x = 48
------------------- +
x = -3
3x - 2y = -17
3(-3) - 2y = -17
-9 - 2y = -17
-2y = -8
y = 4
Coordinate : (-3, 4)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the triangular prism with:
- Height of the Triangle =6cm
- Base of the Triangle =7cm
- Length of the Prism =10cm
Volume of a Prism= Base Area X Length of the Prism
The volume is 210 cubic centimeter.
<span>Hello : let
A(-3,7) B(3,3)
the slope is : (YB - YA)/(XB -XA)
(3-7)/(3+3) = -2/3
an equation is : y=ax+b a is a slope</span>
y = (-2/3)x +b
the line through point B (3,3) :
3 = (-2/3)(3)+b<span>
<span>b =5
the equation is : y =(-2/3)x+5</span></span>
Answer: <u>4 pounds</u> of brand X sugar
====================================================
Reason:
n = number of pounds of brand X sugar
5n = cost of buying those n pounds, at $5 per pound
Brand Y costs $2 per pound, and you buy 8 lbs of it, so that's another 2*8 = 16 dollars.
5n+16 = total cost of brand X and brand Y combined
n+8 = total amount of sugar bought, in pounds
3(n+8) = total cost because we buy n+8 pounds at $3 per pound
The 5n+16 and 3(n+8) represent the same total cost.
Set them equal to each other. Solve for n.
5n+16 = 3(n+8)
5n+16 = 3n+24
5n-3n = 24-16
2n = 8
n = 8/2
n = 4 pounds of brand X sugar are needed
-------------
Check:
n = 4
5n = 5*4 = 20 dollars spent on brand X alone
16 dollars spent on brand Y mentioned earlier
20+16 = 36 dollars spent total
n+8 = 4+8 = 12 pounds of both types of sugar brands combined
3*12 = 36 dollars spent on both types of sugar brands
The answer is confirmed.
--------------
Another way to verify:
5n+16 = 3(n+8)
5*4+16 = 3(4+8)
20+16 = 3(12)
36 = 36
