<span><span><span><span><span><span>4x+5y = 11 and 2x+6y = 16
</span>Let's start by solving 4x+5y = 11 for the variable x.
<span>Move the 5y to the right hand side by subtracting 5y from both sides, like this:
</span><span>From the left hand side:
<span>5y - 5y = 0
</span></span><span>The answer is 4x
</span></span><span>From the right hand side:
<span>The answer is 11-5y</span></span><span>
Now, the equation reads:
4x = 11-5y 
To isolate the x, we have to divide both sides of the equation by theother variables
around the x on the left side of the equation.
</span><span>The last step is to divide both sides of the equation by 4 like this:
<span>To divide x by 1
</span><span>The x just gets copied along in the numerator.</span><span>The answer is x</span><span>4x ÷ 4 = x
</span><span>To divide 11-5y by 4</span><span>divide each term in 11-5y by 4 term by term.</span><span>11 ÷ 4 =11/4
</span><span>To divide y by 1
</span><span>The y just gets copied along in the numerator.</span></span><span>-5y ÷ 4 =</span><span>The solution to your equation is:
x =</span><span><span>Next, let's solve 2x+6y = 16 for the variable y.
<span>Move the 2x to the right hand side by subtracting 2x from both sides, like this:
</span><span>From the left hand side:
<span>2x - 2x = 0</span></span><span>The answer is 6y</span></span><span>From the right hand side:
<span>The answer is 16-2x</span></span><span>
Now, the equation reads:
6y = 16-2x 
To isolate the y, we have to divide both sides of the equation by theother variables
around the y on the left side of the equation.
</span><span>The last step is to divide both sides of the equation by 6 like this:
<span>To divide y by 1</span><span>The y just gets copied along in the numerator.</span><span>The answer is y</span><span>6y ÷ 6 = y</span><span>To divide 16-2x by 6</span><span>divide each term in 16-2x by 6 term by term.</span><span>16 ÷ 6 =</span><span>To divide x by 1</span><span>The x just gets copied along in the numerator.</span></span><span>-2x ÷ 6 =</span><span>The solution to your equation is:
y =</span><span>Now, plug the earlier result, x=11/4-5/4y, in for x everywhere it occurs in 
y=8/3-1/3x.
This gives y=8/3-1/3(11/4-5/4y). Now all we have to do is solve this for y,to have our first solution.

A prism with a base area of 8 cm² and a height of 6 cm is dilated by a factor of 54 . What is the volume of the dilated prism? E
Aliun [14]

Question:

A prism with a base area of 8 cm² and a height of 6 cm is dilated by a factor of 5/4 .

What is the volume of the dilated prism?

Enter your answer, as a decimal, in the box.

Answer:

The volume of the dilated prism is 93.75 \ {cm}^{3}

Explanation:

A prism with a base area of 8 cm² and a height of 6 cm

The volume of the prism can be determined by the formula, V=Bh

Volume of the prism is given by

V=Bh

V=(8)(6)

V=46\ cm^3

Thus, the volume of the prism is 46 \ {cm}^{3}

It is also given that the volume of the dilated prism is dilated by a factor of \frac{5}{4}

Hence, the new volume is given by

Volume = 48(\frac{5}{4} )^3

             =48(\frac{125}{64} )

             =48(1.953125)

             =93.75 \ {cm}^{3}

Thus, the volume of the dilated prism is 93.75 \ {cm}^{3}

The answer is 80! If you ever see any angle like that where it’s just two lines (I don’t know how to explain it/forgot what it’s called) it will be the same as the other angle.

Find the area of a rectangle with a perimeter of 12 meters and a base of 4 meters
stepladder [879]
Considering the perimeter (P)
p = 2 \times b + 2 \times h
where b is the base and h is the height, then
12 = 2 \times 4 \times 2 \times h \\  \\ h =  \frac{12 - (2 \times 4)}{2}  \\  \\ h = 2
Being the area (A)
a = b \times h \\  \\ a = 4 \times 2 \\  \\ a = 8 {m}^{2}

1/2 of a bag of candy is skittles, 1/4 is m and m's, and 3/4 of the rest of it are life savers. The rest are sour patch kids. Wh
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

6.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total = 1 ; as a decimal

1/2 = skittles

1/4 = M&Ms

Skittles +M&Ms = 1/2 + 1/4 = 3/4

Remainder = 1 - \frac{3}{4}

Remainder = \frac{1}{4}

Sour patch = \frac{1}{4} *\frac{1}{4} =\frac{1}{16}

As a percentage , multiply 1/16 by 100 and it becomes 6.25%
