1 answer:

7 0

This is the concept of algebra. from the given equation;
y-9+9=-17+9
The original equation was y-9=-17
The subtraction was undone by applying inverse operation of adding 9 to get;
y-9+9=-17+9
y=-8
The aim of doing this was to obtain the value of the unknown which is y

Sonja [21]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x=3-\sqrt{14}\ \vee\ x=3+\sqrt{14}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^2-6x-5=0\qquad\text{add 5 to both sides}\\\\x^2-6x=5\\\\x^2-2(x)(3)=5\qquad\text{add}\ 3^2\ \text{to both sides}\\\\x^2-2(x)(3)+3^2=5+3^2\qquad\text{use}\ (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\\\\(x-3)^2=5+9\\\\(x-3)^2=14\to x-3=\pm\sqrt{14}\qquad\text{add 3 to both sides}\\\\x=3-\sqrt{14}\ \vee\ x=3+\sqrt{14}$

V125BC [204]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

During a promotional weekend, a state fair gives a free admission to every 179th person that enters the fair.

No of people attending the fair on Saturday is 8,633 amd No of people attending the fair on Sunday is 7,400.

We need to find the no of people that received a free admission over the two days.

Dividing 8,633 by 179 gives 48 as quotient and 41 as remainder. It means on Saturday 48 people entered for free.

Dividing 7,400 by 179 gives 41 as quotient and 61 as remainder. It means on Sunday 41 people entered for free.

Total no of people,

T = 48 + 41

T = 89

Hence, there are 89 people for free entries.

luda_lava [24]

i. Let t be the line tangent at point J. We know that a tangent line at a point on a circle, is perpendicular to the diameter comprising that certain point. So t is perpendicular to JL
let l be the tangent line through L. Then l is perpendicular to JL ii. So t and l are 2 different lines, both perpendicular to line JL.
2 lines perpendicular to a third line, are parallel to each other, so the tangents t and l are parallel to each other.

Nicole runs a farm stand that sells bananas and peaches. Each pound of bananas sells for $2 and each pound of peaches sells for

stepan [7]

Answer:

The required system of equations is:

2x + 3.25y = 231.75

x = y + 3

where x is the number of pounds of bananas and y is the number of pounds of peaches

Explanation:

1- Defining the variables:

Assume that the number of pounds of bananas sold is x

Assume that the number of pounds of peaches sold is y

2- Setting the system of equations:

We are given that:

i. Each pound of bananas sells for $2

Money gained from selling x pounds of bananas is 2x

ii. Each pound of peach sells for $3.23

Money gained from selling y pounds of peaches is 3.25y

iii. Nicole made $231.75 in total. This means that:

2x + 3.25y = 231.75 .................> equation I

iv. Nicole sold 3 more pounds of bananas than pounds of peaches. This

means that:

pounds of bananas = pounds of peaches + 3

x = y + 3 ..................> equation II

3- Solving the equations (if required):

In equation II, we have: x = y + 3

Substitute with equation II in equation I and solve for y as follows:

2x + 3.25y = 231.75

2(y+3) + 3.25y = 231.75

2y + 6 + 3.25y = 231.75

5.25y = 231.75 - 6

5.25y = 225.75

y = 43

Substitute with y in equation II to get x:

x = y + 3

x = 43 + 3 = 46

Based on the above:

Number of pounds of bananas = x = 46 pounds

Number of pounds of peaches = y = 43 pounds

Hope this helps :)
