Answer:

x = -2

y =4

z=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

4x−y−2z=−8

−2x+4z=−4

x+2y=6

Solve the second equation for x

x = 6 -2y

Substitute into the first two equations

4x−y−2z=−8

4(6-2y) -y -2 = 8  

24 -8y-y -2z = 8

-9y -2z = -32

−2(6-2y)+4z=−4

-12 +4y +4z = -4

4y+4z = 8

Divide by 4

y+z = 2

z =2-y

Substitute this into -9y -2z = -32

-9y -2(2-y) = -32

-9y -4 +2y = -32

-7y -4 = -32

-7y =-28

y =4

Now find z

z = 2-y

z = 2-4

z = -2

Now find x

x = 6 -2y

x = 6 -2(4)

x =6-8

x = -2

Answer:

(-2, 4, -2)

x=-2, y=4, z=-2.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the three equations:

4x-y-2z=-8\\-2x+4z=-4\\x+2y=6

And we want to find the value of each variable.

To solve this system, first look at it and consider what you should try to do.

So we can see that the second and third equations both have an x.

Therefore, we can isolate the variables for the second and third equation and then substitute them into the first equation to make the first equation all xs.

Therefore, let's first isolate the variable in the second and third equation.

Second Equation:

-2x+4z=-4

First, divide everything by -2 to simplify things:

x-2z=2

Subtract x from both sides. The xs on the left cancel:

(x-2z)-x=2-x\\-2z=2-x

Now, divide everything by -2 to isolate the z:

z=-\frac{2-x}{2}

So we've isolated the z variable. Now, do the same to the y variable in the third equation:

x+2y=6

Subtract x from both sides:

2y=6-x

Divide both sides by 2:

y=\frac{6-x}{2}

Now that we've isolated the y and z variables, plug them back into the first equation. Therefore:

4x-y-2z=-8\\4x-(\frac{6-x}{2})-2(-\frac{2-x}{2})=-8

Distribute the third term. The -2s cancel out:

4x-(\frac{6-x}{2})+(2-x)=-8

Since there is still a fraction, multiply everything by 2 to remove it:

2(4x-(\frac{6-x}{2})+(2-x))=2(-8)

Distribute:

8x-(6-x)+2(2-x)=-16\\8x-6+x+4-2x=-16

Combine like terms:

8x+x-2x-6+4=-16\\7x-2=-16

Add 2 to both sides:

7x=-14

Divide both sides by 7:

(7x)/7=(-14)/7\\x=-2

Therefore, x is -2.

Now, plug this back into the second and third simplified equations to get the other values.

Second equation:

z=-\frac{2-x}{2}\\ z=-\frac{2-(-2)}{2}\\z=-\frac{4}{2}\\z=-2

Third equation:

y=\frac{6-x}{2}\\y=\frac{6-(-2)}{2}\\y=\frac{8}{2}\\y=4

Therefore, the solution is (-2, 4, -2)

So the polynomial 24r squared represents the surface are of a cube a : determine the polynomial that represents the area of one
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

a. 4r² b. 2r c. 6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area A of the cube is A = 24r². We know that the surface area, A of a cube also equals A = 6L² where L is the length of its side.

Now, equating both expressions, 6L² = 24r²

dividing both sides by 6, we have

6L²/6 = 24r²/6

L² = 4r². Since the area of one face is L², the polynomial that determines the area of one face is A' = 4r².

b.  Since L² = 4r² the rea of one face of the cube, taking square roots of both sides, we have

√L² = √4r²

L = 2r

So, the polynomial that represents the length of an edge of the cube is L = 2r

c. The length of an edge of the cube is L = 2r. When r = 3 cm.

L = 2r = 2 × 3 cm = 6 cm

So, the length of an edge of the cube is 6 cm.

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

C. 47

Step-by-step explanation:

5(8 + 7)

Expand the brackets. Brackets mean to multiply.

5(8 + 7)

5 * 8 + 7

= 40 + 7

= 47
