Answer:

<h2>x = (12-k)/2, y = k, z = (k-6)/4 </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equation

x + y - 2z = 9 ... 1

3x + y + 2z = 15 ...2

x - 5y + 22z = -27... 3

First let us reduce the system of equation into two with two unknowns.

Subtracting 1 from 3

y-(-5y) + (-2z-22z) = 9-(-27)

y+5y + (-24z) = 9+27

6y-24z = 36 ... 4

Multiplying equation 1 by 3 and subtracting from equation 2

3x + 3y - 6z = 27

3x + y + 2z = 15

On subtracting both;

(3y-y)+(-6z-2z) = 27-15

2y-8z = 12 ... 5

Equating 4 and 5

6y-24z = 36 ... 4

2y-8z = 12 ... 5

Multiplying equation 5 by 3 the equation becomes;

6y-24z = 36 ... 6

6y-24z = 36 ... 7

We can see that equation 6 and 7 are the same;

let y = k

6k - 24z = 36

k - 4z = 6

4z = k-6

z = k-6/4

Substituting y = k and z = k-6/4 into equation 1 to get x

From 1; x + y - 2z = 9 ... 1

x + k -2( k-6/4) = 9

x + k - (k-6)/2 = 9

x = 9+(k-6)/2-k

x = {18+(k-6)-2k}/2

x = (12-k)/2

The solutions to the system of equations are x = (12-k)/2, y = k, z = (k-6)/4 where k is any constant. This shows that the system of equation has infinite solutions.

Montana is known for having very chilly winters. One night, the temperature was falling by 2 degrees Fahrenheit each hour. At su
Kipish [7]

Answer:

7 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

At sunset, the temperature=-5 degrees Fahrenheit

Each hour, temperature falling=2degrees Fahrenheit

We have to find time taken to reach the temperature -19° F.

Let x be the time time taken to reach the temperature -19° F

According to question

-5+x(-2)=-19

Where we taking 2 negative because temperature decreases.

-5-2x=-19

-5+19=2x

14=2x

x=\frac{14}{2}

x=7

Hence, it will take 7 hours for the  temperature to reach -19° F.

LenKa [72]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 3x^2-12x-11=3*x^2-3*2*2*x+3*4-23=3*(x^2-2*2x+2^2)-23=3*(x-2)^2-23

so  a= -2 ,b= -23

b) x1=[12+V(12^2-4*3* -11)]/6=12/6+V(144+132)/6=2+2/6V69=2+1/3V69=

2+V69/9=2+V23/3

c=2, d= 23/3

Can somebody help me in this question? It would be very appreciated! :)
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a rectangle is calculated as

A = width × length

let width be w then length is 2w + 3 ( 3 more than twice the width ), then

A = w(2w + 3) ← distribute

   = 2w² + 3w

When w = 4 , then

A = 2(4)² + 3(4)

   = 2(16) + 12

    = 32 + 12

     = 44 ft²

Three times the sum of a number and 17 is at least 22 translate
shutvik [7]
Hi there!
We are given a question that asks us to translate some given information into numerical format, or numbers. We can do that by first finding key words. Such words are sum and at least. Sum indicates addition, while at least indicates a greater than or equal to sign, or ≥. Now that we have found our key info, we can move on.
The question states that 3 times the sum of a number and 17. The 'sum of a number and 17' part can be represented by the expression x + 17, where x is some number. Next, three times means that we need to multiply 3 to the expression x + 17, giving us 3(x + 17). Finally, the question gives us that the whole expression 3(x + 17) is 'at least', or greater than or equal to, 22. Hence, we get the inequality 3(x + 17) ≥ 22, which is also our answer. Hope this has come of assistance to you and have a great day!

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Hi there!

Your answer is;

a)

i) 400% of 240

240 is 100%

× 4

960= 400%

ii) 40% of 240

100% = 240

/100

1% = 2.4

× 40

40% = 96

iii) 4% of 240

100% is 240

/100

1% = 2.4

× 4

4% = 9.6

iv) .04% of 240

100% = 240

/100

1% = 2.4

/100

.01% = .024

× 4

.04% = .096

b) the patterns is that all these numbers equal sometime 96. Each of these have a different decimal place, but have the same actual numbers.

c) 4000% = 240

take the pattern:

400% is 960

Scale it up to 4000 by 10

400% is 960

× 10

4000% is 9600

Hope this helps!
