Answer:

The values are

x = -25/9 = -2 7/9

y = 7/3 = 2 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 2y = -13 --------eqn 1

3x + 4y = 1-------------eqn2

Using eqn 2 to get the value of y

3x + 4y = 1

4y = 1 - 3x

Dividing both sides by 4,to get y

4y/4 =( 1 -3x) / 4

y = (1 - 3x) / 4

Since we've gotten the value for y, substitute the value into eqn 1

3x + 2y = -13

3x + 2(3x - 1)/4 = -13

Opening the bracket

3x + (6x - 2)/4 = -13

LCM = 4

(12x + 6x - 2) / 4 = -13

18x - 2 / 4 = -13

Then we cross multiply

18x - 2 = -13 * 4

18x - 2 = - 52

18x = -52 + 2

18x = -50

Divide both sides by 18, to get the value of x

18x/18 = -50/18

x = -25/9

or x = -2 7/9

The value of x is now known, so let's go back to eqn 2

Substitute x = - 25/9

3x + 4y = 1

3(-25/9) + 4y = 1

Open the bracket

-75/9 + 4y = 1

Make y the subject of the formula

4y = 1 + 75/9

LCM = 9

4y = (9 + 75)/ 9

4y = 84/9

To get y, divide both sides by 4

4y/4 = 84/9 / 4/1

y =

Note : when division changes to multiplication, it always be in its reciprocal form

y = 84/9 / 1/4

y = 84 * 1 / 9 *4

y = 84/ 36

y = 7/3

y = 2 1/3

What is the answer to this??

Since the triangle is equilateral, all its angles are equal to 60°

AO is the bisector⇒∠OAD = 30°

AO AO is the hypotenuse, ∠OAD = 30°⇒

OD=10:2=5ft

By the Pythagorean theorem

$10^2=AD^2+5^2\\AD=\sqrt{100-25} \\AD=\sqrt{75}$

$AC=AD+DC=2\sqrt{75}=10\sqrt{3}$

$S=\frac{a^2\sqrt{3} }{4}$

$S=\frac{(10\sqrt{3})^2\sqrt{3} }{4} =\frac{300\sqrt{3} }{4} =75\sqrt{3} ft^2$

Answer: A) $S=75\sqrt{3}$ ft²

while observing the fare meter in a taxi, a student records the following data: reading on taxi fare meter time (minutes) meter

mario62 [17]

(0,5.25)(10,13.75)
slope(m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
slope(m) = (13.75 - 5.25) / (10 - 0) = 8.5/10 = 0.85

y = mx + b
(0,5.25)...x = 0 and y = 5.25
slope(m) = 0.85
now we sub, we r looking for b, the y int
5.25 = 0.85(0) + b
5.25 = b

so ur equation is : y = 0.85x + 5.25 or C(t) = 0.85t + 5.25 <==

cost of a 12 min taxi ride.....sub in 12 for t
C(t) = 0.85t + 5.25
C(12) = 0.85(12) +5.25
C(12) = 10.20 + 5.25 = 15.45
so a 12 min ride would cost u : $ 15.45 <==

1/2+1/4=____ and 1/12 + 1/6=___ and 1/4+1/6+1/12=_____ . explain

BlackZzzverrR [31]

1/2+ 1/4
= 2/4+ 1/4
= 3/4

1/12+ 1/6
= 1/12+ 2/12
= 3/12
= 1/4

Therefore, 1/4+ 1/6+ 1/12
= (1/12+ 1/6)+ (1/12+ 1/6)
= 2*(1/12+ 1/6)
= 2* (1/4)
= 2/4
= 1/2

Hope this helps~
