Answer: p = 6


Step-by-step explanation:

HI !


 px + 3y - ( p-3)=0


a₁ = p , b₁ = 3 , c₁ = - (p-3)


=====================


12x + py - p=0


a₂ = 12  , b₂ = p , c₂ = -p


since , the equations have infinite solutions , 


a₁/a₂ = b₁/b₂ = c₁/c₂


p/12 = 3/p =  p-3/p



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


p/12 = 3/p


cross multiply ,


p² = 36


p = √36

 p = 6


for the value of p = 6 , the equations will have infinitely many solutions

What is the square root of 64 over 225 with a negative outside of the radical?
irinina [24]
The square root of  (64/225)  is the same as  √64 / √225 . 
That could make the whole thing easier.

Do you know what either of those separate square roots is ?

You're right !    I'm so impressed!
The square root of  64  IS  8, and the square root of  225 surely is  15 .
You really know your stuff !

So now, the expression is  √64 / √225  =  <em>8 / 15</em> .

Oh, I almost forgot, it has a negative sign before it.  OK,so the answer is <em>- 8/15</em> .

Describe a situation that fits each equation. Describe more than one situation for each equation, if possible.
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4x − 1 = 19

solving for x, x = 5

2x − 4 = 10

x=7

2x + 2y = 48

x=24-7

y=24-x

5x + 2y = 90

x=18-2y/5

y=45-5x/2

all the situations I could find hope this helps for each equation.

Find the coordinates of the fourth vertex that completes the construction of the rectangle on the coordinate plan
SOVA2 [1]

The coordinates of the fourth vertex are (2, -4).

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

The opposite sides of a triangle are always equal.

First, we plot the three given points of the rectangle.

Assume the top left corner is A, the top right corner is B, the bottom left corner is C and the bottom right corner is D.

We need to determine the coordinates of point D.

Step 2:

The coordinates of the given three points are

A (-2, 5), B (2, 5), and C (-2, -4).

A and C are the same side i.e. the left side, they have the same x coordinate of -2.

So B and D will have the same x coordinate of 2.

A and B are on the same side too i.e. the top side so they both have the same y coordinate of 5.

The points C and D are two ends of the bottom side so they must have the same y coordinate of -4.

So the coordinates of the fourth vertex are (2, -4).

A right rectangular prism has edges of 2 1/4 in, 1 1/2 in and 1 1/2 in. How many cubes with lengths of 1/4 in would be needed to
Zielflug [23.3K]

The volume of a rectangular prism is (length) x (width) x (height).

The volume of the big one is  (2.25) x (1.5) x (1.5) = <em>5.0625 cubic inches</em>.

The volume of the little one is  (0.25)x(0.25)x(0.25)= 0.015625 cubic inch

The number of little ones needed to fill the big one is

             (Volume of the big one)  divided by (volume of the little one) .

       5.0625 / 0.015625  =  <em>324 tiny cubies</em>

=================================================

Doing it with fractions instead of decimals:

The volume of a rectangular prism is (length) x (width) x (height).
Dimensions of the big one are:

   2-1/4  =  9/4
   1-1/2  =  3/2
   1-1/2  =  3/2

   Volume = (9/4) x (3/2) x (3/2) =
 
                 (9 x 3 x 3) / (4 x 2 x 2)  =

                           81 / 16  cubic inches.

          As a mixed number:    81/16  =  <em>5-1/16 cubic inches</em>

Volume of the tiny cubie = (1/4) x (1/4) x (1/4) =  1/64 cubic inch.   

The number of little ones needed to fill the big one is

             (Volume of the big one)  divided by (volume of the little one) .

                 (81/16) divided by (1/64)  = 

                     (81/16) times (64/1)  = 

                             5,184/16  =  <em>324 tiny cubies</em>.
