Answer:

x = 20 y= 12

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=32

x−y=8

Add the two equations together to eliminate y

x+y=32

x−y=8

----------------

2x = 40

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 = 40/2

x = 20

We know x so we can find y

x+y = 32

20+y = 32

20+y-20 = 32-20

y= 12

Jake is solving x^2-6x+5=0 by completing the square his steps are shown below step 1. x^2-6x=-5 step 2. x^-6x+9=-5+9 step 3. (x-

damaskus [11]

Answer:

Jake's error in step 3

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$x^{2} -6x+5=0$

Complete the square

step 1

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

$x^{2} -6x=-5$

step 2

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

$x^{2} -6x+9=-5+9$

$x^{2} -6x+9=4$

step 3

Rewrite as perfect squares

$(x-3)^{2}=4$

Jake's error in step 3

He placed 6 instead of 3 in the left side

step 4

take square root both sides

$\sqrt{(x-3)^2} =\sqrt{4}$

step 5

$(x-3)=\pm2$

step 6

$x=3\pm2$

step 7

x=5 and x=1

Solve 0.25[2.5x + 1.5(x – 4)] = –x.

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

X = 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

0.25[2.5x + 1.5(X-4)]= -X

0.25[2.5x + 1.5x - 6] = -x

0.25[4x -6] = -x

1x + x = 1.5

2x = 1.5

x = 1.5/2

x = 0.75

A student charges $31.50 for 3 hours of babysitting. If the amount the student earns babysitting is proportional to the hours sp

vodomira [7]

Answer:

C) y is equal to 10.5x

Step-by-step explanation:

$31.50 is charged for <em>3 </em>hours so, for 1 hour we need to divide 31.50 by 3, which results in 10.50. So 1 hour of babysitting is $10.50

this is because x is equal to the number of hours they babysit. we do not know the actual so it is replaced with x

and y is equal to the sum of 10.5x because we multiply the number of hours worked, and the amount per hour.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

V of a sphere is (4/3)*pi*r³, and because we have 3 scoops

V = 3* (4/3) * 3.14 * 4³ = 4* 3.14 * 4³ = 803.84 cm³
