Answer: r = -11, q =3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

4q – 2r = 36 ....... eqn. 1

6q + r = 10 ..............eqn 2.

from eqn. 2 make r subject formula i.e.

r = 10- 6q (substitute for 'r' in eqn. 1)

we have;

4q - 2(10-6q) = 36 (open bracket)

4q -20 + 12q = 36 (collect like terms)

4q+12q = 36+20

16q = 56

q = 56/16

q = 3.5

substitute for q in eqn. 2.......

6(3.5) + r = 10

21 + r = 10

r = 10-21

r = -11, q =3.5

Let X = pounds of Bermuda grass needed.

(20 pounds bahia grass x $6.30) + ( X x $3.65) = (20 +X) x $4.90

Simplify:

126 + 3.65X = 98 + 4.90X

Subtract 3.65X from each side:

126 = 98 + 1.25X

Subtract 98 from each side:

28 = 1.25X

Divide both sides by 1.25

X = 28 / 1.25

X = 22.4 pounds required.

What set of numbers can represent the side lengths,in centimeters, of a right triangle

il63 [147K]

We now look at a right-angled triangle with sides a, b and c, as shown opposite. Pythagoras' Theorem states that, for any right-angled triangle, the area of the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares on the two shorter sides.

Assume that $4,000 I deposited into an investment account doubled in value over a six year period. What annual interest rate mus

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Interest rate is about 12.246%

The initial deposit doesn't matter because when you divide both sides by the initial deposit you're always left with (1+i)ⁿ=2

Step-by-step explanation:

$4000(1+i)^6=8000\\(1+i)^6=2\\1+i=\sqrt[6]{2} \\1+i=1.122462048\\i=.12246$

The x-coordinate in the solution of the system of equations y = -2/3x and 4x - 9y = -40 is -4

<h3>Solution:</h3>

Given that system of equations are:

$y = \frac{-2}{3}x$ ------- eqn 1

$4x - 9y=-40$ ------ eqn 2

We have to solve the above given system of equations and find the x - coordinate

Substitute eqn 1 in eqn 2 and solve for "x"

$4x - 9(\frac{-2}{3}x) = -40\\\\4x + \frac{18x}{3} = -40\\\\12x + 18x = -120\\\\30x = -120\\\\x = \frac{-120}{30} = -4$

x = -4

Thus the x-coordinate in the solution of the system of equations is -4

two numbers are such that if 11 is added to the first number,the answer is twice the second number.Also,if 25 is subtracted from

hichkok12 [17]

Answer: x = 37 and y = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

So I assume the question means x+11=y*2 and x-25=y/2. I couldn't write all the steps on here because I did it on paper but the answer is x = 37 and y = 24
