1 answer:

8 0

-5x + y = -5.....multiply by -2
-4x + 2y = 2
---------------
10x - 2y = 10 (result of multiplying by -2)
-4x + 2y = 2
-----------------add
6x = 12
x = 12/6
x = 2

-5x + y = -5
-5(2) + y = -5
-10 + y = -5
y = -5 + 10
y = 5

solution is (2,5)

George had one sheet of paper. He cut it into 6" x 5", and 3" x 6". What were the dimensions and total area of his original shee

Deffense [45]

Answer: $l={8}'' ,b={6}''$ , $l={6}'' ,b={8}''$

and area is $=48$ inch square

Step-by-step explanation:

area of sheet $=l\times b$

area of sheet first $={6}''\times {5}''$

$=30$ inch square

area of sheet second $={3}''\times {6}''$

$=18$ inch square

total area of both sheet $=30+18$

$=48$ inch square

area of sheet $=l\times b$

$=48$ inch square

$l={6}'' ,b={8}''$

$l={8}'' ,b={6}''$

perimeter of sheet

$=2\left ( l+b \right )$

$=2(6+8)$

$={28}''$

If you place a 24-foot ladder against the top of a 22-foot building, how many feet will the bottom of the ladder be from the bot

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

9.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem

a² + b² = c²

Plug in the knowns

a² + 22² = 24²

Subtract 22² from both sides

a² = 24² - 22²

a² = 576 - 484

a² = 92

Take the square root of both sides

a = 9.591663046625438

Rounded

a = 9.6 ft

What is the least common denominator of 4/x * -4/2x^2?

Vanyuwa [196]

The least common denominator would be 2x^2
that is because you would have to multiply the first fraction by 2x
but you can't just somehow simplify 2x^2, it wouldn't be right
4/x * -4/2x^2
2x*4/(2x*x) * -4/2x^2
8x /2x^2 * -4/2x^2
Then you would complete it

Hope this helps :)
