Answer:

Option A ( 2, 2, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 2y + z = 10 ------------(1)

3x - y + 3z = 10 ------------(2)

2x + 3y - 2z = 6 ------------(3)

Equation (1) - equation (3)

(2x + 2y + z) - (2x + 3y - 2z) = 10 - 6

(2x - 2x) + (2y - 3y) + (z + 2z) = 4

-y + 3z = 4 --------------------(4)

Equation (1) × 3 - equation (2) × 2

3(2x + 2y + 2) - 2(3x - y + 3z) = 30 - 20

6x + 6y + 3z - 6x + 2y - 6z = 10

(6x - 6x) + (6y + 2y) + (3z - 6z) = 10

8y - 3z = 10 ----------------(5)

Now equation (4) × 8 + equation (5)

8(-y + 3z) + (8y - 3z) = 32 + 10

-8y + 2yz + 8y - 3z = 42

21z = 42

⇒ z = 2

Now we put z = 2 in equation (4)

-y + 3 × 2 = 4 ⇒ -y = 4 - 6

y = 2

From equation (1) 2x + 2 × 2 + 2 = 10

2x + 4 + 2 = 10

2x = 10 - 6 = 4 ⇒ x = 2

Option A ( 2, 2, 2) is the answer.

If the dimensions of a rectangle are A plus 3b and A minus 3b what is the area of the rectangle

tresset_1 [31]

area=legnth times width

we notice this is a special case

(a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2

area=(a+3b)(a-3b)=a^2-9b^2

area=a^2-9b^2

PLEASE HELP 25PT

Bess [88]

Hi

1.If Mrs.Walters drives 360 miles on 25 gallons of gas , she drives 14.4 miles on 1 gallon of gas .

Work; I made a proportion , but you can just divide 360 and 25 .
x=14.4 miles

If Mr.Walters drives 480 miles on 32 gallons of gas , he drives 15.06 miles on 1 gallon of gas .
x=15.06 miles
2. Mr.Walter because he drives more miles with a gallon .
Work; 15.06 miles is greater than 14.4 miles.

Hope it helps and have a wonderful day.

Given the equation 4x2 − 8x 20 = 0, what are the values of h and k when the equation is written in vertex form a(x − h)2 k = 0?

Westkost [7]

The vertex form of the given quadratic equation is

$4(x-1)^{2} + 16 =0$ .

According to the given question.

We have a quadratic equation

$4x^{2} -8x + 20 = 0$

Since, for the standard quadratic form is $ax^{2} +bx + c = y$ , the vertex form of a quadratic equation is $y = a(x -h)^{2} + k$ where (h, k) is the vertex.
