The answer you are looking for is C.) 1 1/4.

To find this answer, you need to make 1 3/4 into an improper fraction. This can be done by multiplying the whole number (1) by the denominator (4) and adding it to the numerator (3). So, 1 * 4 = 4 and 3 + 4 = 7. Now your problem says 12/4 - 7/4. Finally, subtract the fractions, keeping in mind the denominators stay the same, but you subtract the numerators. 12/4 - 7/4 = 5/4. 5/4 converted to a mixed fraction is 1 1/4. Thus making 1 1/4 the answer.

I hope this helps!

Use substitution to solve the following system of equations. What is the value of y? {3x+2y=12{5x−y=7 A) y = -3B) y = 3C) y = -2

Vlad [161]

Answer

B) y = 3

Step-by-step explanation

Given the system of equations:

$\begin{gathered} 3x+2y=12\text{ \lparen eq. 1\rparen} \\ 5x-y=7\text{ \lparen eq. 2\rparen} \end{gathered}$

Isolating x from equation 1:

$\begin{gathered} 3x+2y-2y=12-2y \\ 3x=12-2y \\ \frac{3x}{3}=\frac{12-2y}{3} \\ x=\frac{12}{3}-\frac{2}{3}y \\ x=4-\frac{2}{3}y\text{ \lparen eq. 3\rparen} \end{gathered}$

Substituting equation 3 into equation 2 and solving for y:

$\begin{gathered} 5(4-\frac{2}{3}y)-y=7 \\ 5\cdot4-5\cdot\frac{2}{3}y-y=7 \\ 20-\frac{10}{3}y-y=7 \\ 20-\frac{13}{3}y=7 \\ 20-\frac{13}{3}y-20=7-20 \\ -\frac{13}{3}y=-13 \\ (-\frac{3}{13})\cdot-\frac{13}{3}y=(-\frac{3}{13})\cdot-13 \\ y=3 \end{gathered}$

What is the value of y? Enter your answer, as an exact value, in the box.

So for the 40-40-90 degree triangle, whenever the two legs are x values, then the hypotenuse is x value times the square root of 2.

--> a changed into a√2
√2 changed in √2 * √2
= 2

So the hypotenuse of the 40-40-90 degree triangle is 2.

Now for the 30-60-90 degree triangle, the smallest leg with the value of x is then changed to the value of x√3 if finding the longer leg.

-> a is changed to a√3
2 is changed into 2√3

So, y is 2√3 or approximately 3.46 units.
