X=hours of plan A
y=hours of plan B
wed: 5x+6y=12
thu: 3x+2y=6
so
5x+6y=12 and
3x+2y=6
we can eliminate y's by multiplying 2nd equation by -3 and adding to first equation
-9x-6y=-18
<u>5x+6y=12 +</u>
-4x+0y=-6
-4x=-6
divid both sides by -4
x=-6/-4
x=3/2
x=1.5
sub back
3x+2y=6
3(1.5)+2y=6
4.5+2y=6
2y=1.5
y=0.75
Plan A=1.5 hours
Plan B=0.75 hours
Answer:
x = 3 and y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
4 times 3 is 12. 2 times 3 is 6
12 minus 6 is 6
First we have to know the Pythagoreans theorem which is
a^2+b^2=c^2
7^2+8^2=c^2
49+64= 10.63
Hope this helps
Remark
The closest answer is D, but the answer has to be rewritten: f(x) = - 2/3 (6)^(x - 1) where x is 1,2,3,4,5,6 .... to plus infinity. If that is not what you are given, there is no answer.
Discussion
The minus sign is misplaced. There are 2 reasons.
1. When x is odd, then the minus sign is not there and every other term will be plus.
2. For a related reason, you cannot get a minus 2/3 if the sign is affected by the power. The first term must be -2/3. (-6)^0 power is 1 not -1
Answer: There is no answer, but you could try C if D does not work.
