Answer:

y = -5

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 6y = -15

-6x - 4y = -10

multiply first equation with 2 then add two equations up

×2 / 3x + 6y = -15 ➡ 6x + 12y = -30

(6x + 12y) + (-6x - 4y) = (-10) +(-30) (6x will eliminate -6x)

8y = -40

y = -5

use the value of y in the first equation to find x

3x + 6 ×(-5) = -15 ➡ 3x -30 = -15 ➡ 3x = 15

valentinak56 [21]

1st piece = x

2nd piece = x+2

3rd piece = x+2+3 = x+5

37 = x +x+2 + x+5 =

37 = 3x+7

30=3x

x = 30/3 = 10

1st piece = 10 inches

2nd piece = 10+2 = 12 inches

3rd piece = 10+5 = 15 inches

A spinner has 6 equally divided sections labeled A, B, C, D, E and F. After spinning the spinner, a number cube is rolled. What

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer: $\dfrac{2}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The spinner has 6 equal sections A, B, C, D, E, and F

The two events occurred one after the other. So, the probability is the product of the probabilities of each event.

There are two consonants in the given 6 letter

The probability of landing over a consonant is

$P_1=\dfrac{2}{6}$

The number greater than 2 in a cube are 3,4,5,6

So, probability corresponding to it

$P_2=\dfrac{4}{6}$

So, the required probability is

$\Rightarrow P=P_1\times P_2\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{2}{6}\times \dfrac{4}{6}\\\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{8}{36}\\\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{2}{9}$

The cost for the raw materials of marble countertops, can be represented by the function , where is the area of the countertops.

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

$m(c(a)) = 4.8875a$

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing parameters are:

$c(a) = 4.25a$ --- Cost of marble countertops

$m(c) = 1.15c$ --- Cost of retail markup

Required

The cost of marked up price

This implies that we calculate m(c(a))

We have:

$c(a) = 4.25a$

$m(c) = 1.15c$

$m(c) = 1.15c$ can be written as:

$m(c(a)) = 1.15*c(a)$

Substitute: $c(a) = 4.25a$

$m(c(a)) = 1.15*4.25a$

$m(c(a)) = 4.8875a$

Hence, the cost of marked up price is: $m(c(a)) = 4.8875a$
