S+2t=6. 3s-2t=2<br> Using elimination

Ludmilka [50]

For the first one, I will solve for t.
s + 2t = 6, first we isolate the t variable,
2t = -s + 6, divide both sides by 2,
t = -s/2 + 3, < There's your answer for 1!

Here's the second one,
3s - 2t = 2, subtract 3s from both sides,
-2t = 2 - 3s, divide both sides by -2,
t = -1 + 3s/2 < There's your second answer!

Given points A (1, 2/3), B (x, -4/5), and C (-1/2, 4) determine the value of x such that all three points are collinear

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

$x=\frac{83}{50}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If the three points are collinear

then

$m_A_B=m_A_C$

we have

A (1, 2/3), B (x, -4/5), and C (-1/2, 4)

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

step 1

Find the slope AB

we have

$A(1,\frac{2}{3}),B(x,-\frac{4}{5})$

substitute in the formula

$m_A_B=\frac{-\frac{4}{5}-\frac{2}{3}}{x-1}$

$m_A_B=\frac{\frac{-12-10}{15}}{x-1}$

$m_A_B=-\frac{22}{15(x-1)}$

step 2

Find the slope AC

we have

$A(1,\frac{2}{3}),C(-\frac{1}{2},4)$

substitute in the formula

$m_A_C=\frac{4-\frac{2}{3}}{-\frac{1}{2}-1}$

$m_A_C=\frac{\frac{10}{3}}{-\frac{3}{2}}$

$m_A_C=-\frac{20}{9}$

step 3

Equate the slopes

$m_A_B=m_A_C$

$-\frac{22}{15(x-1)}=-\frac{20}{9}$

solve for x

$15(x-1)20=22(9)$

$300x-300=198$

$300x=198+300$

$300x=498$

$x=\frac{498}{300}$

simplify

$x=\frac{83}{50}$

Explain why there can be no infinite geometric series with a first term of 12 and a sum of 5.

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When you find the sum of a number you are adding two or more numbers together. therefore the only answer that you could use to get a sum of 5 when your first term is 12 would be -7

Melanie is making a piece of jewelry that is in the shape of a right triangle. The two shorter sides of the piece of jewelry are

ollegr [7]

Using Pythagoras’ theorem a2 + b2 = c2 you can find out the third (longest) side. (6x6) + (8x8) = 100 (the square root of 100 is 10) so ur final sum is 6+8+10 = 24 mm
