\bf \cfrac{4a}{3}-\cfrac{b}{4}=6
\qquad \qquad 
\cfrac{5a}{6}+b=13
\\\\\\
\textit{let us remove the denominators off those folks}\\
\textit{by multiplying the first one by 12, both sides}\\
\textit{and the second one by 6, both sides, thus}
\\\\\\
12\left( \cfrac{4a}{3}-\cfrac{b}{4} \right)=12(6)\implies 16a-4b=72
\\\\\\
6\left( \cfrac{5a}{6}+b \right)=6(13)\implies 5a+6b=78

\bf  \textit{now, let's do the elimination}
\\\\

\begin{array}{llll}
16a-4b=72&\boxed{\times 3}\implies &48a-\underline{12b}=216\\\\
5a+6b=78&\boxed{\times 2}\implies &10a+\underline{12b}=156\\
&&--------\\
&&58a+0\quad=372
\end{array}

solve for "a", once you get "a", plug it back into either equation to get "b"

The temperature of a mixture is decreasing by 5∘C every hour. When it was first mixed, its temperature was recorded at −20∘C.
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

f(x)=−5x−20

Step-by-step explanation:

It's decreasing 5 degrees every hour, which is represented by -5x

You also have to take away the 20 (-20) from where it started.

So, f(x)=−5x−20

Gary deposits $1,500 into each of two savings accounts. Account I earns 5% annual simple interest. Account II earns 5% interest
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

  • $3623.26

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>

  • Each deposit = $1500
  • Interest rate= 5%
  • Time = 4 years
  • Compound number = annual

<u>Simple interest account</u>

  • B = 1500*(1 + 4*0.05) = 1500*1.2 = $1800

<u>Compound interest account</u>

  • B = 1500*(1 + 0.05)^4 = $1823.26

<u>Total balance</u>

  • $1800 + $1823.26 = $3623.26

A solution which is 38.0% w/w in k2cro4 has a specific gravity of 1.37. calculate the concentration in terms of molarity of chro
Makovka662 [10]
When in aqueous solution, K2CrO4 dissociates into ions. It dissociates into:

K2CrO4 = 2K+1 + CrO4-1

We do as follows:

Molarity = mol / L = 0.38 g/g solution ( 1.37 g/mL ) ( 1 mol / 194.19 g ) ( 1 mol CrO4-1 / 1 mol K2CrO4 ) ( 1000 mL / 1 L ) =  2.68 M

Two joggers set out at the same time from their homes 24 miles apart. They agree to meet at a point
Andrej [43]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  5 mph, 11 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Together, they cover 24 miles in 1.5 hours, so their total rate of speed is ...

  (24 mi)/(1.5 h) = 16 mi/h

If s is the rate of the slower jogger, then s+6 is the rate of the faster one. Their total speed is ...

  s + (s+6) = 16

  2s = 10 . . . . . . . subtract 6

  s = 5 . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

  s+6 = 11

The rates of the joggers are 5 mph and 11 mph.
