Hello ,
-1/3 x + 15/3 = -4
-1/3 x + 5 = -4
-1/3 x = -4-5
-1/3 x = -9
x = -9 : -1/3
x = -9 * -3/1
x = 27 .

What is the solution to the system of equations?<br><br> 6x – 9y = 16<br><br> 2x – 3y = 7

kifflom [539]

The first step for solving this problem is to multiply both sides of the bottom equation by -3.
$\left \{ {{6x-9y=16} \atop {-6x + 9y = -21}} \right.$
Add the two equations together.
6x - 9y - 6x + 9y = 16 - 21
Eliminate the opposites.
-9y + 9y = 16 - 21
Remember that the sum of two opposites equals 0,, so the equation becomes the following:
0 = 16 - 21
Calculate the difference on the right side of the equation.
0 = -5
This means that the statement $\left \{ {{6x-9y=16} \atop {2x-3y=7}} \right.$ is false for any value of x and y. That means that the answer to your question is (x,y) ∈ ∅,, or no solution.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

A special box designed to hold an antique artifact is shaped like a triangular prism. The surface area of the box is 421.2 squar

Oksanka [162]

The area of the base is:
A = root ((s-a) * (s-b) * (s-c) * (s))
Where,
a, b, c: sides of the triangle
s = (a + b + c) / 2
We have then:
s = (9 + 9 + 9) / 2
s = 13.5
A = root ((13.5-9) * (13.5-9) * (13.5-9) * (13.5))
A = 35.07
Then, the surface area of the prism is:
S.A = 2 * A + 9h + 9h + 9h
Where,
h: height of the prism:
Substituting values:
421.2 = 2 * (35.07) + 9h + 9h + 9h
Clearing h:
27h = (421.2 - 2 * (35.07))
h = (421.2 - 2 * (35.07)) / (27)
h = 13
Answer:
the height of the box is:
h = 13 inches

Solve for n: 6n+12=6

arlik [135]

Hey there! :)

6n + 12 = 6

Isolate our given variable.

We can do this by subtracting both sides by 12.

6n + 12 - 12 = 6 - 12

Simplify.

6n = -6

Divide both sides by 6.

6n ÷ 6 = -6 ÷ 6

Simplify.

n = -1

~Hope I helped!~
