Answer:x = 1
y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The given system of simultaneous equations is expressed as
3x - 5y = - 2 - - - - - - - - - - - - 1
2x + y = 3 - - - - - - - - - - - - - 2
The first step is to decide on which variable to eliminate. Let us eliminate x. Then we would multiply both rows by numbers which would make the coefficients of x to be equal in both rows.
Multiplying equation 1 by 2 and equation 2 by 3, it becomes
6x - 10y = - 4
6x + 3y = 9
Subtracting, it becomes
- 13y = - 13
y = - 13/- 13 = 1
The next step is to substitute y = 1 into any of the equations to determine x.
Substituting y = 1 into equation 2, it becomes
2x + 1 = 3
2x = 3 - 1 = 2
x = 2/2 = 1
Answer:
A. 17
Step-by-step explanation:
using the cosine rule (also see attached for reference):
AB² = BC² + AC² - 2·AC·BC cos C
2·AC·BC cos C = BC² + AC² - AB²
Given that AC = 18, AB = 12 and BC = 18, substituting these into the formula
2(18)(28) cos C = 28² + 18² - 12²
1008 cos C = 964
cos C = 964/1008
cos C = 0.9563
C = cos⁻¹ 0.9563
C = 16.99 ( = 17° rounded to nearest degree)
Answer:
x = -6/5
Step-by-step explanation:
distribute -4 on the left side of the equation first, then distribute 2 on the right side of the equation to get:
16x - 4 - 4x = 2x - 14 - 2
combine 'like terms':
12x - 4 = 2x - 16
subtract '2x' from each side to get:
10x - 4 = -16
add 4 to each side to get:
10x = -12
x = -12/10 or x = -6/5

Answer:
D. Both functions are decreasing at the same average rate on that interval
Step-by-step explanation:
The dashed lines on the attached graph of the two functions (f in red, g in purple) represent the average rate of change of each function on the interval. The lines are parallel, because the average rate of change is the same for each of the functions on that interval.
__
Function f decreases by 60 units from f(0) = 64 to f(4) = 4 on the interval x = [0, 4]. Function g decreases by 60 units from g(0) = 75 to g(4) = 15 on the same interval. The average rate of change is the amount of decrease divided by the interval width. Those values are the same for both functions.
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
3 + x = 7 ( isolate x by subtracting 3 from both sides )
x = 7 - 3 = 4
