5x - 2y = 17

4x - 3y = 8

Try to change one of the equations to isolate a variable, so you can use the new equation and substitute it into the other equation.

5x - 2y = 17

-2y = 17 - 5x

y = -17/2 + 5/2x

Now plug this into the second equation

4x - 3(-17/2 + 5/2x) = 8

4x + 51/2 - 15/2x = 8

8/2x - 15/2x = 16/2 - 51/2

-7/2x = -35/2

x = 5

Plug this into either equation to find y

4x - 3y = 8

4(5) - 3y = 8

20 - 3y = 8

-3y = -12

y = 4


x = 5, y = 4

Help!! For this question I got 254.34 as my final answer but when I checked my answer it told me I was wrong?
Ugo [173]

Answer:

a = 254.5 mm² ( if using accurate value of π)

a = 254.4 mm² (if using 3.14 as approximate value of π)

Step-by-step explanation:

a = πr²

a = π * 9²

a = π * 81

(note using π = 3.1415926536)

a = 254.4690049408

Rounded

a = 254.5 mm²

(a = 254.4 If using π = 3.14)

You drive at a speed of 60 miles per hour what is your speed in kilometers per second
xenn [34]
This is a conversion problem
1mile = 1.60934km
\frac{60}{1} \ \times   \frac{1.60934}{1}
This would be your equation doing this you just multiply across so the answer is 96.5604

Paul is making grey paint.
velikii [3]
Its quite simple. for every white bucket of paint he uses, he uses 3 buckets of black paint as well. so if he made 24 litres of grey paint then he would have had to use 24 buckets of white paint. but, this might be a trick question because its saying he made 24 "litres" but the unit it started with was "buckets" so it might be trying to trick you because we dont know how much paint is in one "bucket"
