What is the solution of the system of equations? 5x + 4y = -22 2x – 3y = 5

Mathematics
1 answer:
spayn [35]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

y = 3

x =7

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve this system of equations using substitution method we say, let

5x + 4y = -22 .................... equation 1

2x – 3y = 5...................... equation 2

from equation 2

2x - 3y = 5

2x = 5 + 3y

divide both sides by 2

we have;

2x/2 = (5+3y)/2

x =(5+3y)/2................................ equation 3

put x = (5+3y)/2 in equation 1

5x + 4y = -22 .................... equation 1

5(5+3y)/2 + 4y = -22

(25 + 15y)/2 + 4y = -22

multiply through by 2

25 + 15y + 8y = -44

25 + 23y = -44

collect the like terms

23y = -44 - 25

23y = -69

divide both sides by 23

23y/23 = -69/23

y = 3

put the value of y= 3 into equation 3

x =(5+3y)/2................................ equation 3

x = (5+3(3)]/2

x = 5+9/2

x =14/2

x =7

Kelly has a rectangular fish aquarium that measures 18 inches long, 8 inches wide, and 12 inches tall.
BigorU [14]

Answer:

a) The maximum amount of water the aquarium can hold is 1728 in³.

b) The cover has to be 624 in² big.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The maximum volume of water that the aquarium can have is the same as the volume of the aquarium:

V=L×W×H=18 in × 8 in × 12 in= 1728 in³

b) The protective covering is used on the four walls of the aquarium. We have to find the areas of the four walls:

One of them is given by the multiplication of the width and the height:

A₁= W×H= 8 in × 12 in=96 in²

The other area is given by the multiplication of the length and the height:

A₂= L×H= 18 in × 12 in= 216 in²

As the fish aquarium is rectangular the area of the walls is given by:

A_T=2A_1+2A_2=2×96 in²+2×216 in²=624 in²

Determine if the graph is symmetric about the x-axis, the y-axis, or the origin. r = -5 - 5 cos θ
Grace [21]
Y-axis symmetry=(r, theta)=(-r,theta)
-5-5cos(theta)=r
-r=5+5cos(theta)
no y-axis symmetry
x-axis symmetry=(r,theta)=(r,-theta)
cosine is an even function, so yes it is symmetric around x-axis
origin symmetry=(r,theta)=(-r,theta) or (r, theta+pi)
no, as there is no y-axis symmetry

Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y = -8 3 x + 4 and goes through the point (5, 2)
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

y = 3/8x + 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a perpendicular line is the opposite and reciprocal of the original slope.

-8/3 -> 3/8

Find the new y-intercept.

y = 3/8x + b

2 = 3/8(5) + b

2 = 1.875 + b

0.125 = b

y = 3/8x + 1/8

Best of Luck!

What is the difference between 0.0032 and 0.32? and which one is greater?
mariarad [96]
.0032 = 0.32%
.32 = 32%
.32 is 100 times greater than .0032, therefore, 0.32 is greater
