Answer:

x = 5

y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 2x + 2y = 18

2. x + 3y = 17

Multiply the first equation by 1 and the second equation by 2 to eliminate x

We have

2x + 2y = 18

2x + 6y = 34

Subtract equation 2 from equation 1

-4y = -16

Divide both sides by -4 to isolate y

-4y/-4 = -16/-4

y = 4

Now substitute 4 for y in either equation to get x. Using equation 2 we have

x + 3y = 17

x + 3 x 4 = 17

x + 12 = 17

Subtract 12 from both sides

x + 12 - 12 = 17 - 12

x = 5

x = 5 and

y = 4

your family have decided to paint your room. It took 1/2 hour to paint 1/8 of your room. How long will it take to paint your who

Elodia [21]

Answer:

4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

In 6 hours, J paints 1 room

So, in 1 hour, J paints 1/6 th of the room

Using similar logic, in 1 hour, T paints 1/12 th of the room.

Working together in one hour, they paint (1/6+1/12) th =1/4 of the room.

1/4 of the room is painted in 1 hour

So, 1 room is painted in 1 1/4=4 hours

The inverse variation equation shows the relationship between wavelength in meters, x, and frequency, y.

wolverine [178]

Answer:

$\lambda=10^{-10}\ m$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The frequency of x-rays, $f=3\times 10^{18}\ Hz$

We need to find the wavelength for x-rays. The relation between wavelength, frequency and speed of light is given by :

$v=f\lambda\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^{8}}{3\times 10^{18}}\\\\=10^{-10}\ m$

So, the wavelength for x-rays is $10^{-10}\ m$ .

The speedometer in Henry's car is broken. The function y = |x - 8| represents the difference y between the car's actual speed x

Alekssandra [29.7K]

The interpretation of the function is that the difference y between the car's actual speed x and the displayed speed is 8

<h3>How to describe the translation. </h3>

The function is given as:

y = |x - 8|

The above function is an absolute function.

And the parent function of an absolute function is

y = |x|

When a function is translated right by h units, the new function is y = |x - h|

This means that the translation is a translation to the right by 8 units

See attachment for the graph the function.

<h3>Interpret the function and the translation in terms of the context of the situation.</h3>

The function is given as:

y = |x - 8|

This represents the difference y between the car's actual speed x and the displayed speed.

So, the interpretation of the function is that the difference y between the car's actual speed x and the displayed speed is 8
