Mathematics
1 answer:

4 0

Answer:

<h2>x = 0</h2><h2>y = - 2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x + y = -2………… Equation 1

-3x + 6y = -12 ………… Equation 2

Using substitution

Make y the subject in equation 1 and substitute it into equation 2 and solve for x

That's

y = 5x - 2

We have

- 3x + 6( 5x - 2) = - 12

- 3x + 30x - 12 = - 12

27x = - 12 + 12

27x = 0

Divide both sides by 27

x = 0

Substitute x = 0 into y = 5x - 2

We have

y = 5(0) - 2

y = - 2

So the solutions are

<h3>x = 0 </h3><h3>y = - 2</h3>

Hope this helps you

At 5 seconds, an object's velocity is 9 meters per second. At 8 seconds, the object's velocity is 25 meters per second. Assuming
ivanzaharov [21]
The formula for acceleration is (∆v)/(∆t), or (final velocity - initial velocity)/(final time - initial time). If you input your values the problem would work out as followed: 

A = <span>(∆v)/(∆t)
A = (25-9)/(8-5)
A = 16/3
A = 21.33 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)</span>

Jeff and his family are driving to visit his grandmother they have driven about 30 miles which is about 2/3 of the way how much
Scilla [17]

Answer:  15 miles

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

2/3 of the way is 30 miles

Let x represent the total distance to grandmother's house, then

\quad \dfrac{2}{3}x=30\\\\\rightarrow 2x=90\\\\\rightarrow x = 45


Since the total distance is 45 and they have already driven 30 miles, there is 15 miles to go
