We subsituete

9:6=6:4
treat as fraction
9/6=6/4

9/6=3/3 times 3/2
6/4=2/2 times 3/2

3/2=3/2
this is TRUE

Answer:

The answer is true

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$9:x = x:4$ -----> rewrite in equivalent form

$\frac{9}{x}=\frac{x}{4}\\ \\x^{2}=9*4\\ \\x^{2}=\sqrt{36}\\ \\x=(+/-)6$

Nick randomly selects a digit from the set { 0 , 1 , 2 , . . . , 9 } and a letter from the set { A, B, C, . . ., Z } . Matthew w

Alex787 [66]

Answer: 259/260 or 0.99615 (depending on which answer format your teacher wants)

There are 10 numbers in the set {0, 1, 2, ..., 9}. There are 26 letters in the set {A, B, C, ..., Z}. Multiply those values: 10*26 = 260. So there are 260 ways to pick a number followed by a letter. One example is 7P.

There is only one way Matthew can get the correct answer, and there are 260 - 1 = 259 ways to get the wrong answer. We divide 259 over 260 to get the probability of getting the incorrect answer, which is 259/260.

If you need this fraction in decimal form, then use a calculator to find that 259/260 = 0.99615 approximately

Question 2(Multiple Choice Worth 1 points) (06.01) Solve 2x + 5y = −13 3x − 4y = −8 (4, 1) (−4, 1) (4, −1) (−4, −1)

dlinn [17]

ANSWER

The solution is
$(-4,-1)$

EXPLANATION

The given equations are:

$2x + 5y = - 13...(1)$

and

$3x - 4y = - 8...(2)$

We multiply equation 1 by 3 to get,

$6x + 15y = - 39...(3)$

We multiply equation 2 also by 2 to get,

$6x - 8y = - 16...(4)$

We subtract equation 4 from equation 3 to get,

$23y = - 23$
This implies that,

$y = - 1$

We put this value of y into any of the equations say equation 2

$3x - 4( - 1) = - 8$
Simplify

$3x + 4 = - 8$
Group like terms
$3x = - 8 - 4$
Simplify,

$3x = - 12$

Divide both sides by 3 to get,

$x = - 4$

Therefore the solution is
$(-4,-1)$

The correct answer is option D.

Next number in the sequence 1 4 9 16 25

Anarel [89]

The next number in the sequence is 36.

Starting from 1, the number increases by 3, 1 + 3 = 4. But the next number, the number it's being increased by increases by 2. 3 + 2 = 5, 4 + 5 = 9. And again, 5 + 2 = 7, 7 + 9 = 16. And again. 7 + 2 = 9, 16 + 9 = 25. Therefore, it is increased to + 11, and the next number is 36.

I hope this helped, and you have a great day!

What this solving system of equations?<br> x+y=-3<br> y=x^2+4x+1

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -x-3

y = x^2 + 4x + 1

x^2 + 4x + 1 = -x-3

x^2 + 5x + 4 = 0

Quadratic Formula

x = [-5±√(5²-4⋅1⋅4)]/[2⋅1] = [-5±√9]/2 = [-5±3]/2 = 1,-4

(x,y) = (1,-4) of(-4,1)
