A student is trying to solve the set of two equations given below:

1 answer:

8 0

Equation A : x + z = 6
Equation B : 2x + 3z = 1

Possible step used in eliminating in z-term.

Multiply equation A by -3.

-3(x +z) = -3(6)
-3x - 3z = -18

-3x - 3z = -18
2x + 3z = 1
-x = -17
÷ -1 ÷ -1
x = 17

What is 3/2y - 3 + 5/3z when y= 6 and z = 3

kirill [66]

Answer:

-2.195

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the given values of y and z to the equation

= 3/2y-3+5/3z

= 3/2(6) - 3 + 5/3(3)

= 3/12 - 3 + 5/9

In order to easily solve the equation, we change the fractions into decimals.

3/12 = 0.25

5/9 = 0.555

= 0.25 - 3 + 0.555

= - 2.195

Simplify (-2x^4y^-3)^4

elixir [45]

Answer:

$( - 2 {x}^{4} {y}^{ - 3} )^{4} = \frac{16 {x}^{16}}{ {y}^{12} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to simplify:

$( - 2 {x}^{4} {y}^{ - 3} )^{4}$

We need to apply the exponential property for products of powers.

Recall that:

$( {a}^{m} \times {a}^{n} )^{p} = {a}^{mp} \times {a}^{np}$

We apply this rule to get:

$( - 2 {x}^{4} {y}^{ - 3} )^{4} = ( { - 2)}^{4} x \times {x}^{16} \times {y}^{ - 12}$

This simplifies to:

$( - 2 {x}^{4} {y}^{ - 3} )^{4} = 16 {x}^{16} \times {y}^{ - 12}$

We rewrite as positive index to get:

$( - 2 {x}^{4} {y}^{ - 3} )^{4} = \frac{16 {x}^{16}}{ {y}^{12} }$

20 is how much less than 30? What percent less?

LenKa [72]

Answer:

33.3333% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent change formula: $\frac{(x-y)}{|y|} *100$ , where x is the new value and y is the starting value.

Plug in values and solve:

$\frac{20-30}{30} *100\\\frac{-10}{30} *100\\-0.3333*100\\$

-33.3333% change, or a 33.3333% decrease.

Wilma works at a bird sanctuary and stores birdseed in plastic containers. She has 2 small containers that hold 8 pounds of bird

Amanda [17]

Answer:

60 lbs left over

Step-by-step explanation: Since the small containers hold 8 lbs each you multiply 8 by 2 since there are 2 containers. Same for the large, multiply 9 by 12 because each container holds 12 lbs and there is 9 containers. Then, you subtract 4 from that total because she already used 4 lbs.

x=(2*8)+(9*12)-4 Multiply

x=16+108-4 Simplify

x=120

So, before she fills the bird feeders she has 120 lbs of bird seed. There are 30 bird feeders and since they hold 2 lbs each you multiply 30 and 2. Then you subtract that from the 120 lbs because she is filling the bird feeders with that seed.

120- (30*2)

120-60= 60 lbs left over
