Set up a system of equations:
2x+3y=6
x-3y=9
You can solve this with elimination by adding the two equations together:
3x+0y = 15
3x=15
x=5
Then, plug this value back into either of the original equations to find the y value:
5-3y=9
-3y=4
y= -4/3
The point of intersection is (5,-4/3)
Answer:
16 books
Step-by-step explanation:
133-5=128
128/8=16
Answer:
1 hour
Step-by-step explanation:
I find these easiest to work by considering the initial difference in distance and the speed at with that gap is closing.
__
The gap is 15 miles, the distance the first ship is from harbor when the second ship starts.
The rate of closure is the difference in the speeds of the two ships:
60 mph -45 mph = 15 mph
Then the closure time is ...
time = distance/speed
time = (15 mi)/(15 mi/h) = 1 h
It will take the second ship 1 hour to catch up to the first ship.
volume of a sphere is 4/3 * PI * r^3
r = 6
r^3 = 6^3 = 216
4/3 * 216 = 288
Volume = 288 PI in^3
