X = y + 1...so sub in y + 1 for x in the other equation

4x + 3y = -31
4(y + 1) + 3y = -31...distribute thru the parenthesis
4y + 4 + 3y = -31...subtract 4 from both sides
4y + 3y = -31 - 4....combine like terms
7y = - 35...divide both sides by 7
y = -35/7
y = - 5

now sub -5 in for y in either of the original equations to find x
x = y + 1
x = -5 + 1
x = -4

solution is (-4,-5)

luda_lava [24]

SA = 4 * (pi) * r^2......solving for (pi)
divide both sides by 4r^2
SA / (4r^2) = (pi)

What is 9.66 rounded to the nearest tenth

nikitadnepr [17]

9.66
^ This is the tenths place.

Look at the number after it, if it's 5 or more we round up, if it's 4 or less we round down.

The number is 6, so we round up to 9.7.

Use the continuous compound interest formula to find the indicated value. A=90,000; P=65,452; r=9.1%; t=? t=years (Do not round

Butoxors [25]

$\bf \qquad \textit{Simple Interest Earned}\\\\
A=Pe^{rt}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\to &90,000\\
P=\textit{original amount}\to& \$65,452\\
r=rate\to 9.1\%\to \frac{9.1}{100}\to &0.091\\
t=years
\end{cases}$

$\bf 90000=65452e^{0.091t}\implies \cfrac{90000}{65452}=e^{0.091t}\implies \cfrac{22500}{16363}=e^{0.091t}
\\\\\\
\textit{taking \underline{ln} to both sides}\qquad ln\left( \cfrac{22500}{16363} \right)=ln\left( e^{0.091t} \right)
\\\\\\
ln\left( \cfrac{22500}{16363} \right)=0.091t\implies 
\cfrac{ln\left( \frac{22500}{16363} \right)}{0.091}=t$

A family buys groceries for $150.52, including $10.80 in taxes. The bill includes $24.72 worth of items that are not taxable. Fi

rjkz [21]

Answer:

the sales tax rate is 8.59%

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the sales tax rate is as follows:

= Tax value ÷ Total taxes

= $10.80 ÷ ($150.52 - $24.72)

= $10.80 ÷ $125.80

= 8.59%

Hence, the sales tax rate is 8.59%

We simply applied the above formula to determine the sales tax rate
