If DM = 35, what is the value of r?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Gennadij [26K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

r = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

DM = 35

DG = r + 5

GM = 3r - 14

Required

Find r

From the question, we understand that G is a point between D and M:

This implies that:

DM = DG + GM

Substitute values for DM, DG and GM

35 = r + 5 + 3r - 14

Collect Like Terms

r + 3r = 35 - 5 + 14

4r = 44

Solve for r

r = 44/4

r = 11

devlian [24]

Answer:  -3 and 5

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let x represent the 1st digit and y represent the 2nd digit. Then,

Eq 1: 2x + 3y = 9   →    3(2x + 3y = 9)     →     6x + 9y = 27

Eq 2: 3x + 2y = 1   →   -2(3x + 2y = 1)     →     <u>-6x - 4y =  -2</u>

                                                                              5y = 25

                                                                                y =  5

Substitute y = 5 into either of the original equations to solve for x:

2x + 3y = 9

2x + 3(5) = 9

2x + 15 = 9

2x        = -6

 x        = -3

Check (using the other original equation):

3x + 2y = 1

3(-3) + 2(5) = 1

-9    +  10   = 1

        -1       = 1  \checkmark

This week, Ariel ended up needing 12 gallons of gas. That is 20% more than she needed last
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

10 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

She used 12 gallons this week and used 20% more than last week. That means 12 gallons is 120% of last weeks gas. Since 12 times 10 equals 120, then to find 20% you do 20 divided 10 and subtract the answer from 12.

20% is 2 because 20 divided by 10 is 2. 12 minus 2 is 10

Hope this helps :)
