Answer:

x=12, y=14

Step-by-step explanation:

$2x - y = 10$

Solve the equation for y. Subtract 2x from both sides

$- y = -2x+10$

Divide both sides by -1

$y=2x-10$

Substitute 2x-10 for y in the second equation

$3x - 2(2x-10)= 8$

$3x - 4x+20= 8$

$-1x+20= 8$

Subtract 20 from both sides

$-1x= -12$

Divide both sides by -1

x= 12

$y=2x-10$

Substitute 12 for x

$y=2(12)-10=14$

y=14

2x-y=10
3x-2y=8

-y= -2x +10 multiply by(-1)
y=2x-10

3x-2(2x-10)=8
3x-4x+20=8
-x=-12 multply by (-1)
x=12
24-y =10
-y=-14
(12,14)

What is the perimeter of triangle PQR? Show your work.

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

The perimeter of triangle PQR is 17 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the triangles PQR and STU

1. PQ ≅ ST = 4 ft (Given)

2. ∠PQR ≅ ∠STU (Given)

3. QR ≅ TU = 6 ft (Given)

Therefore, the two triangles are congruent by SAS postulate.

Now, from CPCTE, PR = SU. Therefore,

$3y-2=y+4\\3y-y=4+2\\2y=6\\y=\frac{6}{2}=3$

Now, side PR is given by plugging in 3 for 'y'.

PR = 3(3) - 2 = 9 - 2 = 7 ft

Now, perimeter of a triangle PQR is the sum of all of its sides.

Therefore, Perimeter = PQ + QR + PR

= (4 + 6 + 7) ft

= 17 ft

Hence, the perimeter of triangle PQR is 17 ft.

Tom determines the system of equations below has two solutions, one of which is located at the vertex of the parabola.

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

b must equal 7 and a second solution to the system must be located at (2, 5).

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearranging the first equation:

y = (x - 3)^2 + 4

From this we see that the vertex is at the point (3,4).

So one solution of equation 2 is (3 ,4).

Substituting in equation 2:

4 = -3 + b

b = 7.

So equation 2 is y = - x + 7.

Now we check if (2, 5) is on this line:

5 = -2 + 7 = 5 , therefore (2, 5) is on this line.

Verifying if (2, 5) is also on y = (x - 3)^2 + 4:

5 = (2 - 3)^2 + 4 = 1 + 4 = 5

- so it is. and a second solution to the system is (2, 5).

Howie wants to get a car loan with 4% simple interest rate. If the car costs $25,000, how much would Howie need to pay back at t

likoan [24]

The amount Howie will pay back at the end of one year is $26000.00

The given parameters are:

$P =25000$ -- the principal amount

$R = 4\%$ -- the interest rate

$T=1$ --- the duration

The amount to pay back in this duration is then calculated using:

$A = P(1 + RT)$

So, we have:

$A = 25000(1 + 4\% \times 1)$

$A = 25000(1 + 4\% )$

Express percentage as decimal

$A = 25000(1 + 0.04)$

$A = 25000(1 .04)\\$

Multiply

$A = 26000$

Hence, the amount to pay back is $26000.00
