Solve using elimination. 8x – 6y = -6 2x – 4y = -14

7 0

I’m not sure if you want the answer or how to do i’ll just give you both.
multiply the bottom by -4. then it should look like:
8x-6y=-6
-8x+16y=56
then cancel out the x’s and add/subtract the others, giving you: -2y=50. then divide 50 by -2 giving you: y=-25. then find x. plug in y to one of the equations. i usually do the one that hasn’t been messed with. 8x-6(25)=-6. then solve it like a normal two-step equation.
so the answer is: (18,-25)

A fleet of vehicles is comprised of 60 vans, 20 limos, and X sedans. If 10% of all vehicles are limos, how many sedans are in th

xz_007 [3.2K]

10% of all the cars is 20 limos.

20 * 10 = 200 cars total.

limos + vans + sedans = total cars
200 cars total - 20 limos - 60 vans = x sedans

x = 120 sedans

The best apporximation for the volume of this ball is 382 cubic inches.

<h3>What is the volume of the ball?</h3>

The volume of the ball is calculated by the formula V = 4 / 3πr³. This formula is the same in the whole world.

Given

A regulation basketball has a diameter of about 9 in.

The radius of the ball is;

$\rm Radius = \dfrac{Diameter}{2}\\\\Radius=\dfrac{9}{2}\\\\Radius=4.5\ inches$

The volume of the ball is;

$\rm Volume =\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3\\\\Volume=\dfrac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times 4.5^3\\\\Volume =\dfrac{144.53}{3}\\\\Volume = 381.51\\\\Volume = 382 \ In^3 \ apporx$
