Solve the following system of equations: 5x + y = 9 3x + 2y = 4 (−2, 5) (1, 4) (2, −1) (4, −4)

Multiply first equation by 2:
10x + 2y = 18
Subtract the second equation from this so that the 2y terms cancel:
10x - 3x = 18 - 4
7x = 14
x = 2
Plug into first equation to find y:
5(2) + y = 9
10 + y = 9
y = -1
The answer is (2,-1)

What is 8 3/5 + 4 4/5?

dangina [55]

Answer:

67/5 = 13 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define/explain.

An easier way to solve this is by changing the mixed fractions to improper fractions.

To do this, multiply the whole number by the denominator, then add the product to the numerator; the denominator remains the same.

Mixed fraction - a fraction with a whole number.

Improper fraction - a fraction with a numerator larger than the denominator.

Step 2: Solve.

$8\frac{3}{5} =\frac{43}{5}$

$4\frac{4}{5} =\frac{24}{5}$

From here, add as usual.

$\frac{43}{5} +\frac{24}{5} =\frac{67}{5}$

Step 3: Conclude.

You can change the improper fraction to a mixed fraction if you'd like.

To do this, divide the numerator by the denominator.

The amount of times the numerator evenly goes into the denominator is the whole number.

The amount of remaining numbers in the denominator.

The numerator remains the same.

$\frac{67}{5} =13\frac{2}{5}$

I, therefore, believe the answer to this is 13 2/5.

For a moving object, the force acting on the object varies directly with the object's acceleration. When a force of 20 N acts on

jeka94

The acceleration of the object will be 10 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct variation is a relationship between two variables that can be expressed by an equation in which one variable is equal to a constant times the other

If y varies directly with x, then y ∝ x
y = k x, where k is the constant of variation

For a moving object, the force acting on the object varies directly with the object's acceleration.

Assume that the force is F and the acceleration is a

∵ F ∝ a

∴ F = k a

∵ F = 20 newtons

∵ a = 4 m/s²

- Substitute these values in the equation above to find k

∵ 20 = k (4)

∴ 20 = 4 k

- Divide both sides by 4

∴ k = 5

- Substitute the value of k in the equation

∴ F = 5 a ⇒ equation of variation

∵ F = 50 Newtons

∵ F = 5 a

∴ 50 = 5 a

- Divide both sides by 5

∴ 10 = a

∴ a = 10 m/s²

The acceleration of the object will be 10 m/s²

A shooting star forms a right triangle with the Earth and the Sun, as shown below:

frez [133]

The positions of the sun, earth and shooting star form a right angled triangle, where distance between earth and sun is 'y', and the angle 'x°' is given

Now, in a right angled triangle using trigonometry, we can determine a side of the triangle is one of the sides and one of the angles is known

Here, if we use cos x = $\frac{Base}{Hypotenuse}$ we can determine the distance between the shooting star and the sun. This can be done because we know that the base is 'y', the angle is x° and the hypotenuse represents the distance between the sun and the shooting star
