Solve the system of linear equations by substitution.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Anastasy [175]3 years ago

Answer: The solution is the ordered pair (1/2,  -3/4) so x = 1/2 and y = -3/4 pair up together. The two lines, when graphed, cross at this location.

note: 1/2 = 0.5 and -3/4 = -0.75; so the intersection point can be written as (0.5, -0.75)

===================================================

Explanation:

The second equation has y isolated. We can replace the y in the first equation with the expression 1/2x - 1

3x + 2y = 0

3x + 2( y ) = 0

3x + 2( 1/2x - 1) = 0 ... y is replaced with 1/2x-1

3x + 2(1/2x) + 2(-1) = 0 .... distribute

3x + x - 2 = 0 .... note how 2 times 1/2 is 1

4x - 2 = 0

4x = 2

x = 2/4

x = 1/2

Use this x value to find the y value it pairs with

y = (1/2)*x - 1

y = (1/2)*(1/2) - 1 ... replace x with 1/2

y = 1/4 - 1

y = 1/4 - 4/4

y = (1-4)/4

y = -3/4

Two rectangular prisms have a combined volume of 432 cubic feet. Prism A has half the volume of Prism B.
dexar [7]

Answer:

a. 144 cubic foot

b. 12 ft

c. 18 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the volume of prism A be V_a

and that of prism b be V_b

ATQ,   V_a  +  V_b= 432

also V_a= 0.5 V_b

⇒1.5 V_b= 432

= V_b= 432/1.5= 288 cubic feet

therefore V_a= 144  cubic feet

volume of prism= area of base×height = V_a

24×h = 144

⇒h= 12 ft

A_b= 2/3×24

⇒base area of prism B= 16 sq.ft

now 16×h_b= 288⇒h_b= 288/16= 18 ft

River C is 200 miles longer than River D. If the sum of their lengths is 5580 ​miles, what is the length of each​ river?
Valentin [98]

Yo sup??

Let the length of river D be x

then the lenght of river C will be 200+x

but,

lenght of river C+lenght of river D=5580

x+x+200=5580

2x=5380

x=2690

Therefore lenght of river D is 2690 and that of C is 2890

Hope this helps

JKL is similar to PQR

so they want PR 

JKL is similar to PQR

So PR is similar to JL

And they also give us the sides KL and QR

JKL is similar to PQR

Both of those sides are similar, so we can form a proportion.

\sf { \frac{PR}{JL} =  \frac{QR}{KL} }

Plug in the numbers:

\sf { \frac{PR}{6} = \frac{15}{9} }

Cross multiply:

\sf{ PR \times 9 = 6 \times 15}

Isolate PR

\sf{ PR = \frac{6 \times 15}{9}}

Simplify it

\sf{ PR = 10}

So your final answer is

\boxed{\bf{10 centimeters}}

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

I'm late but the answer is 416 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

If every cm of the model car equals 32 centimeters of the actual car, you would just multiply 13 by 32 and get 416
