Mathematics

4 0

Answer:

x = 2,  y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

i) It is given that 5x - 3y =1

ii) It is also given that x = 2y - 4

iii) we can substitute the value of x from ii) in the equation in i) and we will get 5(2y - 4) - 3y = 1   ⇒ 10y - 20 -3y =  1   ⇒  7y = 21  ∴ y = 3

iv) substituting the value of y obtained in ii) we get x = (2 × 3) - 4 = 6 - 4 = 2.

v) Therefore x = 2.

What is m∠M ? Brainliest to correct answer <3
nika2105 [10]

Sum of interior angles of triangle = 180

x + x + 6 + 3x - 16 = 180

5x - 10 = 180

5x = 190

x = 38

<M = 3(38) - 16

<M = 114 - 16

<M = 98°

They will rest after they hike `2` miles. Then they will hike the remaining `1.75` miles to the lookout. The trail the hikers wi
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

1.75 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to calculate how far the hike is going up the trail. They first hike 2 miles and then another 1.75 miles after resting so...

2 + 1.75 = 3.75 miles

The trail is 3.75 miles long, the question states that the return path is 0.5 miles shorter, therefore...

3.75 - 0.5 = 3.25 miles

Leaving us with a total hiking distance of

3.75 + 3.25 = 7 miles.

Since each hiker will carry 0.25 gallons for each mile we simply need to multiply this amount by the total number of miles in the hike.

7 * 0.25 = 1.75 gallons

Finally, we can see that each hiker will carry a total of 1.75 gallons of water for the entire hike.
