Answer:
B) 11.8
Step-by-step explanation:
First write in 4 for x and 2 for y
Then multiply 1.3 times 6 (4+2) and subtract 2-6
Your expression should now be 7.8 +4
After adding these, it should be 11.8
We have the following expression:
(x- (5/2)) ^ 2 = (13/4)
Let's rewrite the given expression:
x ^ 2 - 5x + 25/4 = (13/4)
x ^ 2 - 5x + 25/4 - 13/4 = 0
x ^ 2 - 5x + 12/4 = 0
x ^ 2 - 5x + 3 = 0
Answer:
the original equation given to Sam could have been:
x ^ 2 - 5x + 3 = 0
Answer:
(2, 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
The best way to do this to avoid tedious fractions is to use the addition method (sometimes called the elimination method). We will work to eliminate one of the variables. Since the y values are smaller, let's work to get rid of those. That means we have to have a positive and a negative of the same number so they cancel each other out. We have a 2y and a 3y. The LCM of those numbers is 6, so we will multiply the first equation by a 3 and the second one by a 2. BUT they have to cancel out, so one of those multipliers will have to be negative. I made the 2 negative. Multiplying in the 3 and the -2:
3(-9x + 2y = -16)--> -27x + 6y = -48
-2(19x + 3y = 41)--> -38x - 6y = -82
Now you can see that the 6y and the -6y cancel each other out, leaving us to do the addition of what's left:
-65x = -130 so
x = 2
Now we will go back to either one of the original equations and sub in a 2 for x to solve for y:
19(2) + 3y = 41 so
38 + 3y = 41 and
3y = 3. Therefore,
y = 1
The solution set then is (2, 1)
The students that are correct are Jake , and Liu because 51, and 21 are composite.
Hope this helps!
