Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Actually Welcome to the Concept of the linear equations..
Here given value of x= 5 and y =1 , so we get as,
5a + b = 38 and 5b - a = 8
so, now we multiply equation no. 2 by 5 all over.
==> 25b - 5a = 40....(1)
hence adding new equation and equation no. 1
26b = 78
b = 78/26
hence b = 3 , and a = 7
Answer:
Mean volume shipped per trailer load = 2960 ft³
Step-by-step explanation:
Since both trailers are always full,
Total volume in one 30 feet trailer shipment = 8 × 10 × 30 = 2400 ft³
Total volume in one 40 feet trailer shipment = 8 × 10 × 40 = 3200 ft³
Assuming a basis of 10 shipments, 3 shipments are done using the 2400 ft³ trailer and 7 shipments are done using the 3200 ft³ trailer.
Mean volume shipped per trailer load = total volume shipped/number of shipments
Total volume shipped = (3 × 2400) + (7 × 3200) = 7200 + 22400 = 29600 ft³
Number of shipment in the basis used = 10
Mean volume shipped per trailer load = 29600/10 = 2960 ft³
3xy+x=-29
-3xy -3xy
x= -3xy-29
<em>Question:</em>
The measures of two complementary angles have a ratio of 3 : 2. What is the measure of the larger angle?
—————
<em>Solution:</em>
Call those two angles x and y, where x is the larger one.
If they are complementary, then their sum equals 90°:
x + y = 90° (i)
Also, the ratio between x and y is 3 : 2, so
x 3
—— = ——
y 2
Product of the extremes = product of the means:
2x = 3y
2x – 3y = 0 (ii)
Now, just solve this system of equations:
x + y = 90° (i)
2x – 3y = 0 (ii)
Solve it with elimination. Since you want to know the value of the larger angle, which is x, then eliminate the variable y by doing the following:
Multiply the equation (i) by 3,
3x + 3y = 270° (iii)
2x – 3y = 0 (ii)
then add both equations, so you cancel out the variable y:
3x + 2x + 3y – 3y = 270° + 0
3x + 2x = 270°
5x = 270°
270°
x = ———
5
x = 54° <——— this is the measure of the larger angle.
I hope this helps. =)
