The solution of the system of equations is (-3 , -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps for Using Linear Combinations Method)

  • Arrange the equations with like terms in columns
  • Analyze the coefficients of x or y
  • Add the equations and solve for the remaining variable
  • Substitute the value into either equation and solve

∵ 3 x - 8 y = 7 ⇒ (1)

∵ x + 2 y = -7 ⇒ (2)

- Multiply equation (2) by 4 to make the coefficients of y are equal in

 magnitude and different in sign

∴ 4 x + 8 y = -28 ⇒ (3)

Add equations (1) and (3)

∵ 3 x - 8 y = 7 ⇒ (1)

∵ 4 x + 8 y = -28 ⇒ (3)

∴ 7 x = -21

- Divide both sides by 7

∴ x = -3

Substitute the value of x in equation (2) to find y

∵ x + 2 y = -7 ⇒ (2)

∵ x = -3

∴ -3 + 2 y = -7

- Add 3 to both sides

∴ 2 y = -4

- Divide both sides by 2

∴ y = -2

The solution of the system of equations is (-3 , -2)

Artemis seeks knowledge of the width of Orion's Belt, which is a pattern of stars in the Orion constellation. She has previously
Verdich [7]

Answer:

Orion's belt width is 184 light years

Step-by-step explanation:

So we want to find the distance between Alnitak and Mintaka, which is the Orions belts

Let the distance between the Alnitak and Mintaka be x,

Then applying cosine

c²=a²+b²—2•a•b•Cosθ

The triangle is formed by the 736 light-years and 915 light years

Artemis from Alnitak is

a = 736lightyear

Artemis from Mintaka is

b = 915 light year

The angle between Alnitak and Mintaka is θ=3°

Then,

Applying the cosine rule

c²=a²+b²—2•a•b•Cosθ

c² =736² + 915² - 2×, 736×915×Cos3

c² = 541,696 + 837,225 - 1,345,034.1477702404

c² = 33,886.85222975954

c = √33,886.85222975954

c = 184.0838184897 light years

c = 184.08 light years

So, to the nearest light year, Orion's belt width is 184 light years

Omar wants to purchase a bike helmet for 22.55 and a bike for 134.45.
noname [10]

Answer:

$169.96 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following questions:

8.25% of 22.55 and 134.45

In order to find the answer, we will have to add the initial costs of the items together, then we will calculate using the formula for percentages to find the tax rate.

22.55+134.45=157
157

<u>Calculate the percentage:
</u>\frac{p\times c}{100}
\frac{8.25\times157}{100} =8.25\times157=1295.25\div100=12.9525
=12.9525
12.9525
2 < 5
=12.96

<u>Add the sales tax:</u>
157+12.96=169.96
=169.96

Which means the two items along with an 8.25% sales tax costs "$169.96 dollars."

Hope this helps.

Brandon bought a new pair of shorts at the store when they were having a 10% off sale. If the regular price of the pair of short
spayn [35]
You would multiply the orignial price by (10%) converted to decimal to find the discount:
21 * 0.10
=2.10

Then, you subract the discount from the original price to see how much he paid:

21 - 2.10 = $18.90
