Answer:

a = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 8

3x - y = 9

3(8) - y = 9

24 - y = 9

-y = 9 - 24

-y = -15

y = 15

ax + y = 23

a(8) + 15 = 23

8a = 23 - 15

8a = 8

a = 8/8

a = 1

at 5pm two hip started sailing toward each other from ports which were 300 miles apart at average rates of 20 and 25 mes per hou
maw [93]
If the average rates were 20 and 25 miles per hour, then together they cover 45 miles of the distance they are separated by per hour.  The ships will be 30 miles apart when 270 miles have been covered, so it takes 270/45=6 hours to cover the distance.  6 hours after 5 PM is 11:00 PM.

Expand and simplify (2x+5y) (x-3y)
Dmitry [639]
Should be simple:

Let's take this one at a time.

2x(x-3y)

You'd get:
2x^2-3xy
for the first one.

2nd one:
5y(x-3y)
you'd get:
+5xy-3y^2

Put them both together:
2x^2-3xy+5xy-3y^2

Combine like terms.

Your Answer:
2x^2+2xy-3y^2
