If a = -12/5, then 5x + 2y = 6 and 3x - ay = 4 are parallel.

1 answer:

3 0

5x +2y =6

Add -2y to both sides

5x=−2y+6

‌Divide both sides by 5

x=‌−2/5‌y +‌ 6/5‌

that into the second equation:


3(‌−2/5‌y+‌6/5‌)+‌12/5‌y =4

simplify

‌6/5‌y+‌18/5‌ =4

Add (-18)/5 to both sides

‌6/5‌y=‌2/5

divide both sides by 6/5

y = 1/3

substitute 1/3 for y in x = -2/5y +6/5 to solve for x

x = -2/5(1/3) +6/5

x = 16/15

so x = 16/15 and y = 1/3
now replace both x and Y in each of the original equations to check the answers:

5(16/15) +2(1/3) = 5 1/3 + 2/3 = 6 true

3(16/15) - -12/5(1/3) = 4 true
so they are parallel

Say you have $14,000 to invest into an investment account. You can either invest your money into an account with a 7% annual int

taurus [48]

Answer:

You should choose an account with a 7% annual interest rate which is compounded quarterly

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The compound interest formula is equal to

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

where

A is the Final Investment Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest in decimal

t is Number of Time Periods

n is the number of times interest is compounded per year

part 1)

we have

$t=15\ years\\ P=\$14,000\\ r=0.07\\n=4$

substitute in the formula above

$A=14,000(1+\frac{0.07}{4})^{4*15}$

$A=14,000(1.0175)^{60}$

$A=\$39,645.43$

part 2)

we have

$t=15\ years\\ P=\$14,000\\ r=0.068\\n=12$

substitute in the formula above

$A=14,000(1+\frac{0.068}{12})^{12*15}$

$A=14,000(1.0057)^{180}$

$A=\$38,713.11$

Robert and Susan's mother is 160cm tall.

slava [35]

Robert is a boy, so you only need the formula for a boy’s predicted height.

father’s height=x
fathers height=180
so, x=180

mother’s height=y
mother’s height=160
so, y=160

plug in x=180 and y=160 into the formula.
0.4(x+y)+42
0.4(180+160)+42

use GEMDAS to simplify.

G(Groupings)

0.4(180+160)+42
0.4(340)+42

M(Multiplication)
0.4(340)+42
136+42

A(Addition)
136+42
178

The predicted height of Robert when he is an adult is 178 cm.
