Answer:

x = 3.25

y =4.75

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to Solve the following system of equations below algebraically using substitution method we say that;

let;

8x - 4y = 7 ..................... equation 1

x + y = 8.......................... equation 2

from equation2

x + y = 8.......................... equation 2

x = 8 - y.............................. equation 3

substitute for x in equation 1

8x - 4y = 7 ..................... equation 1

8(8-y) - 4y = 7

64-8y-4y=7

64-12y=7

collect the like terms

64-7 = 12y

57= 12y

divide both sides by the coefficient of y which is 12

57/12 = 12y/12

4.75 = y

y =4.75

put y = 4.75 in equation 3

x = 8 - y.............................. equation 3

x = 8 -4.75

x = 3.25

to check if your answer is correct, put the value of x and y in either equation 1 or 2

from equation 2

x + y = 8.......................... equation 2

3.25 + 4.75 =8

8=8.................... proved

What is the surface area of the net? *inches squared*
serious [3.7K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  75 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The central vertical rectangle (including "ears") has dimensions

  3 in wide by (9+2+2) = 13 in tall

Its area is

  A = LW = (3 in)(13 in) = 39 in^2

__

The two rectangles either side of that have dimensions 2 in by 9 in. The area of each of them is

  A = LW = (2 in)(9 in) = 18 in^2

__

The total net area is the sum of the areas of the parts:

  left rectangle + central rectangle + right rectangle

  = 18 in^2 + 39 in^2 + 18 in^2 = 75 in^2 . . . . surface area of the net

Solve c: P = a+b+c+d / 4
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

  • as written: c = P - a - b - d/4
  • with parentheses: c = 4P - a - b - d

Step-by-step explanation:

The meaning of the given expression is ...

  P = a + b + c + (d/4)

To solve for c, subtract all the terms on the right side not containing c.

  P -(a + b + (d/4)) = c

  c = P - a - b - (d/4)

_____

In such equations, parentheses are commonly missing. If that is the case here, then first we undo the division by 4, then we subtract the "not c" terms.

  P = (a + b + c + d)/4 . . . . maybe what you meant

  4P = a + b + c + d . . . . . . multiply by 4

  4P - (a +b +d) = c

  c = 4P -a -b -d
