Answer:

x = 15/17  , y = 11/17

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{y = 1 - (2 x)/5 | (equation 1)

{y = 3 x - 2 | (equation 2)

Express the system in standard form:

{(2 x)/5 + y = 1 | (equation 1)

{-(3 x) + y = -2 | (equation 2)

Swap equation 1 with equation 2:

{-(3 x) + y = -2 | (equation 1)

{(2 x)/5 + y = 1 | (equation 2)

Add 2/15 × (equation 1) to equation 2:

{-(3 x) + y = -2 | (equation 1)

{0 x+(17 y)/15 = 11/15 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by 15:

{-(3 x) + y = -2 | (equation 1)

{0 x+17 y = 11 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 2 by 17:

{-(3 x) + y = -2 | (equation 1)

{0 x+y = 11/17 | (equation 2)

Subtract equation 2 from equation 1:

{-(3 x)+0 y = -45/17 | (equation 1)

{0 x+y = 11/17 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by -3:

{x+0 y = 15/17 | (equation 1)

v0 x+y = 11/17 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer: {x = 15/17  , y = 11/17

What would be the equation -2x+y+3=0 in y=mx+b form?
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The answer is y = 2x - 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Move 2x to the right side of the equation by adding it to both sides:

-2x + y + 3 = 0

<u>+ 2x             + 2x</u>

y + 3 = 2x

Then, move 3 to the right side of the equation by subtracting it form both sides:

y + 3 = 2x

<u>   - 3    - 3</u>

y = 2x - 3

What is the exact area of a circle with a radius of 12 ft
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

The area is approximately 453 ft²

Area of a circle = \pi r^{2}

If \pi = 22/7, and  r = 12 ft

Area = (22/7)×12²

= 3.143*144

= 452.592 ft²

≈ 453 ft²
