Answer:

It takes 1 seconds for push-ups and 3 seconds for sit-ups for Mei to do exercise.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Let the time taken for push-ups be 'x'.

Let the time taken for sit-ups be 'y'.

Now Given:

17 push-ups and 6 sit-ups, it takes a total of 35 seconds.

So we can say that;

17x+6y=35 \ \ \ \ equation \ 1

Also Given:

41 seconds to do 20 push-ups and 7 sit-ups.

so we can say that;

20x+7y=41 \ \ \ \ equation \ 2

Now Multiplying equation 1 by 7 we get;

7(17x+6y)=35\times7\\\\119x+42y= 245 \ \ \ \ equation \ 3

Now Multiplying equation 2 by 6 we get;

6(20x+7y)=41\times6\\\\120x+42y = 246 \ \ \ \ equation\ 4

Now Subtracting equation 3 from equation 4 we get;

120x+42y-(119x+42y)=246-245\\\\120x+42y-119x-42y=1\\\\x=1\ sec

Now substituting the value of x in equation 1 we get;

17x+6y=35\\\\17\times1+6y=35\\\\17+6y=35\\\\6y=35-17\\\\6y= 18\\\\y=\frac{18}6 = 3\ seconds

Hence It takes 1 seconds for push-ups and 3 seconds for sit-ups for Mei to do exercise.

Write the quadratic equation in standard form and then choose the value of "b." (2x - 1)(x + 6) = 0 -4 11 12
frozen [14]

Answer:

2x^2 + 11x - 6

b = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation in standard form, use the distributive property to multiply. Then combine like terms.

(2x - 1)(x + 6)

2x^2 - x + 12x - 6

2x^2 + 11x - 6

Now written in the standard form of a quadratic ax^2 + bx + c, the value of b here is 11.
