Answer:

(x,y) = \left(\dfrac{18}{5},\dfrac{67}{15}\right)

Step-by-step explanation:

First rearrange all equations into this format:

ax+by=c

that will result in:

3x-4y=-1

9x-7y=15

then we'll multiply an equation with a number such that we have same numbers on both equations (with only different signs). So we can add them

Here you can see that we've multiplied the first equation with (-3) so that we have -9x on one equation and 9x on the other. Now when we add the two equations the 9x and -9x terms will cancel out (or eliminate)

\[\begin{array}{r@{}l@{\quad}l@{\quad}r@{}l@{}c}3x-4y&{}=-1&\xrightarrow{\times (-3)}&-9x +12y&{}=+3\\[\jot]9x -7y&{}=15&\xrightarrow{\phantom{\times (-3)}}&9x-y&{}=15&~\smash{\raisebox{.8\normalbaselineskip}{$+$}}\\\cline{4-5}&&&+5y&{}=18\\[\jot]&&&y&{}=\dfrac{18}{5}\\\end{array}\]\\

now that we've found the value of y

we'll use this value in any of the two equations to get the value of x.

let's put y in the first equation:

3x-4y=-1

3x-4\left( \dfrac{18}{5}\right)=-1

3x=-1+4\left( \dfrac{18}{5}\right)

3x=-1+\dfrac{72}{5}

3x=\dfrac{67}{5}

x=\dfrac{67}{3(5)}

x=\dfrac{67}{15}

Which of the below descriptions shows a possible HAMILTON PATH?
ra1l [238]

Option B: FECBAD represents the Hamilton path

Explanation:

The vertices in the given graph are A,B,C,D,E and F

We need to determine the Hamilton path of the given graph.

By definition, we know that a Hamilton path touches each and every vertex in a graph exactly once.

Hence, we need to connect the vertices in such a way that the graph touches each and every vertex exactly once.

Option A: EFADECBA

From this description, we can see that the path starts from the vertex E and connects all the vertices but some of the vertices are repeated twice.

Hence, the path EFADECBA is not a Hamilton path.

Therefore, Option A is not the correct answer.

Option B: FECBAD

From this description, we can see that the path starts from the vertex F and connects all the vertices exactly once.

Hence, the path FECBAD is the Hamilton path.

Therefore, Option B is the correct answer.

Option C: ADEFBC

From this description, we can see that the path starts from the vertex A and connects all the vertices but the path from F to B has to touch the vertex A. Thus, the vertices are repeated twice.

Hence, the path ADEFBC is not a Hamilton path.

Therefore, Option C is not the correct answer.

Option D: ADECBAFE

From this description, we can see that the path starts from the vertex A and connects all the vertices but some of the vertices are repeated twice.

Hence, the path ADECBAFE is not a Hamilton path.

Therefore, Option D is not the correct answer.

Jude estimates that his index finger is 3 inches long. He calculates the circumference of one of his bongo drums to be 27 inches
anzhelika [568]

Answer: 9 finger lengths

Step-by-step explanation: Since the circumference is the middle line passing through (usually a circle....) 27/3 equals 9, which basically means that 9 of Jude's index fingers can pass through the circumference of one of his bongo drums. Hope this helps, 15402256.

Samantha buys a pair of sneakers that were originally $60. They were on sale for 25%
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

$47.70

Step-by-step explanation:

60.00 x .25 = 15  ( so $15.00 off the shoes )

60.00-15.00 = 45.00

45.00 x .06 = 2.70 (2.70 is your sales tax so add that to you sale price )

$45.00 + $2.70 =$47.70 Total
