Answer:

Using the linear combination method, you can multiply the first equation by 2 and add the equations to get 20x = 10. Dividing both sides by 20, x = 1/2. To solve for y, substitute 1/2 for x in the equation 8x + 7y = 39 to get 4 + 7y = 39. Solving this equation, y = 5. Checking this in the other equation, 4(1/2) – 14(5) = –68 results in 2 – 70 = –68 or –68 = –68. The solution of the system shown is (1/2, 5). The system 8x + 7y = 39 and 20x = 10 is formed by replacing 4x –14y = –68 by a sum of it and a multiple of 8x + 7y = 39. Since 20(1/2) = 10, the system 8x + 7y = 39 and 20x = 10 also has a solution of (1/2, 5).

Before you will sum up the following equation, first you must multiply the first equation by two and came up with 16x+14y=78 and then add it to the second equation which is 4x-14y=-68 and the remaining variable is 20x=10 then get the value of X and the value is 1/2 or 0.5. I hope you are satisfied with my answer

the length of a rectangle is 7 inches more than its width, if the perimiter of the rectangle is 66 inches, find its dimensions.
Maurinko [17]
Perimeter of rectangle=66
length of rectangle=L
width of rectangle=w
P of a rect.= 2(length)+ 2(width)
66= 2L+2w

if the length is 7in more than the width, then
L=7+w

Now we will substitute 7+w in for L. Here is our new equation:

66=2(7+w) + 2w

Solve for w

66=14+2w+2w
66=14+4w
52=4w
w=13
L=7+13, so L=20

I hooe this is explained well enough

A bag contains an unknown number of marbles. You know that P(red) = 1 and P(green) = 1. What can you conclude about how many mar
Nataly [62]

The number of marbles in the bag illustrates probability

The conclusion about the number of marbles in the bag is that the bag can only contain one type of marble

<h3>The number of marbles in the bag?</h3>

The probabilities are given as:

P(Red) = 1

P(Green) = 1

For a distribution, the sum of all probabilities must equal to 1.

This means that:

P(Red) + P(Green) = 1

So, we have:

1 + 1 = 1

This gives

2 = 1

The above equation is false because 2 does not equal to 1.

So, the conclusion about the number of marbles in the bag is that the bag can only contain one type of marble i.e. either red marbles are in the bag or blue marbles are in the bag
