Your answer would be, You can use the Elimination Method, by Multiplying, One or Both Equations by a Constant.



Solve System of Linear Equation:

3x - 6y = -8, -1/4x + 4y = 6 ====> y = 32 /21; x = 8 / 21


Steps:

[ 3x - 6y = -8, -1 / 4x + 4y = 6 ]


Isolate x for 3x - 6y = -8: x = -8 + 6y / 3

3x - 6y = -8

Add 6y both sides:

3x - 6y + 6y = -8 + 6y

Simplify:

3x = - 8 + 6y

Divide Both sides by 3:

3x / x = -8 / 3 + 6y / 3

Simplify:

x = -8 + 6y / 3

Substitute:

x = -8 + 6y / 3

[ 1 / 4 * -8 + 6y / 3 + 4y = 6 ]

Isolate:

-1 / 4 -8 + 6y / 3 + 4y = 6

y = 32 / 21

For x = -8 + 6y / 3

Substitute:

y = 32 / 21

x = -8 + 6 / 3 * 32 / 21

-8 + 6 / 3 * 32 / 21

x = 8 / 21



The Solution to the Systems of Equations are: y = 32 / 21; x = 8 / 21




Hope that helps!!! : )

To create opposite terms for the x-variable, you need to multiply the second equation by a number that will result in the x term becoming –3x. That number would need to be a multiple of the denominator, which is 3. Multiplying the second equation by 9 would create opposite terms for the x-variable.

Answer:

(7, 1/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply second equation by 2 and subtract.

3x - 4y = 19

- (4x - 4y = 26)

You get -x = -7

x = 7

Substitute x into any equation.

3(7) - 4y = 19

21 - 4y = 19

-4y = -2

y = 1/2

Mindy, a local artist, sells a piece of art at the pizza shop for $15, and the shop takes 15 percent commission. Instead of rece
Yuliya22 [10]
In this question the first thing that needs to be determined is the commission taken by the pizza shop and the amount of money that falls in the part of Mindy.
We already know that Mindy sells the piece of art for $15 and the pizza shop takes 15% commission on it.
Then
Commission taken by the pizza shop = (15/100) * 15
                                                             = 225/100
                                                             = 2.25 dollars
So the pizza shop takes a commission of $2.25 from the sales of each art piece from Mindy.
Then amount that falls in Mindy's part = (15 - 2.25) dollars
                                                             = 12.75 dollars
Now Mindy is not taking the money but taking a pizza worth rupees $12 including 5% sales tax.
Initially it looks like Mindy is making a profit of $0.75 plus the pizza worth $12. So it is a fair deal for Mindy. Now coming to the part of the pizza shop owner, we find that he also gains extra $2.25 from this deal. So it is a fair deal for both the shop keeper and Mindy.

What is the length of the missing leg
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the pythagorean theorem, we know that a^2+ b^2=c^2

In our case, we know b, which is 5 and c which is 13.

If we plug that into the equation, we get a^2+ 5^2 = 13^2

Next, we simplify the equation. a^2 + 25 = 169

Then we subtract 25 from 169. 169 - 25 = 144.

Lastly, we do the square root of 144 and we get 12 which is the missing side.
