Answer:

(-5.77, 6.46)

Step-by-step explanation:

15x + 9y = 45 ----------- i

9x + 8y = 12----------------ii

Multiply equation i by 9 the coefficient of x in equ ii

And equation ii by 15 the coefficient of x in equ I

9 x 15x + 9y = 45 ----------- i

15 x 9x + 8y = 12----------------ii

135x+81y = 405

135x+120y= 180

Subtract equation ii from I

135x-135x+81y-(+120y)= 405-180

-39y=225

y = 225/-39 = -5.77

Insert the value of y in equ i

15x + 9y = 45

15x+9(-5.77) = 45

15x-51.92=45

15x = 45+51.92

15x= 96.92

x = 96.92/15= 6.46

(x,y) = (-5.77, 6.46)

x = 6.92/15

If abx - 5 = 0, what is x in terms of a and b?
Harlamova29_29 [7]
Here we want to have x on one side of equation so,
we put number 5 on right side of equation:
abx=5
then we divide both sides by ab to obtain x on left side:
Result:
x=<u />\frac{5}{ab}

In this fulcrum, for the weights to be balance, what do the distances d1 and d2 have to be if the overall length is 12 feet?
mel-nik [20]
For the fulcrum to balance, the product of weight and distance on both sides of the fulcrum must be the same.

Let d1= x. since total distance is 12, we can write d2 = 12 - x

for the fulcrum to balance:

60x = 50(12 - x)

60x = 600 - 50x

110x = 600

x = 5.45

Thus, d1= 5.45
and
d2= 12 - d1 = 12 - 5.45 = 6.55

d1 = 5.45
d2 = 6.55
