Answer:

B 71/8

Step-by-step explanation:

2x² - 5x = -12

2x² - 5x + 12 = 0 (EQ 1)

expand 2(x - p)² + q = 0 ,

since (x - p)² = x² - 2xp + pq,

2x² - 4xp +2p² + q = 0 (EQ 2)

compare x⁰ (just a number, without x) in EQ 1 and EQ 2.

2p² + q = 12 (EQ 3)

compare x in EQ 1 and EQ 2,

-4p = -5

p = 5/4

Substitute p=5/4 into EQ 3,

2(5/4)² + q =12

q = 12 - 2(5/4)²

q= 71/8

Which of the following values for x and y satisfy the following system of the equations?

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

The answer to your question is letter C

Step-by-step explanation:

Equations

x + 4y = 10

5x + 10y = 20

Process

1.- Substitute all the options in both equations and evaluate them

a) x = 3, y = 2 This option is incorrect

(3) + 4(2) = 10 3 + 8 = 10 11 ≠ 10

5(3) + 10(2) = 20 15 + 20 = 20 35 ≠ 20

b) x = 2, y = -3 This option is incorrect

(2) + 4(-3) = 10 2 -12 = 10 -10 ≠ 10

(2) + 10(-3) = 20 2 - 30 = 20 -28 ≠ 20

c) x = -2, y = 3 This is the right answer

(-2) + 4(3) = 10 -2 + 12 = 10 10 = 10

5(-2) + 10(3) = 20 -10 + 30 = 20 20 = 20

d) x = 3, y = -2 This option is incorrect

(3) + 4(-2) = 10 3 - 6 = 10 - 3 ≠ 10

5(3) + 10(-2) = 20 15 - 20 = 20 -10 ≠ 10

A factory produces 60005/12

ycow [4]

Answer:

$About\ 193 \frac{209}{372} \ tons\ of \ steel$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the amount of tons of steel produced monthly by a factory to be 6000 5/12 tons, to determine their daily production, we need to use the conversion;

Maximum of 31 days = 1 month

This means that the steel company produces 6000 5/12 tons of steel in 31 days.

6000 5/12 tons = 31 dsays

72,005/12 tons = 31 days

in a day, the company will therefore produce approx. (72,005/12)/31 tons of steel.

(72,005/12)/31 = 72,005/12 * 1/31

= 72,005/12*31

= 72,005/372

= 193 209/372 tons of steel.

Hence, the factory produces about $193 \frac{209}{372}$ tons of steel daily
