Answer:

The value of a is 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given with the following pair of the linear system of equations below;

y = -x+9  and   y = 0.5x-6.

Also, the solution is given as (a, -1).

To find the value of 'a', we have to substitute the solution in the equation because it is stated that (a, -1) is the solution of the given two equations.

So, the x coordinate value of the solution is a and the y coordinate value of the solution is (-1).

First, taking the equation;

y = -x+9

Put the value of x = a and y = -1;

(-1) = -(a) + 9

a = 9 + 1 = 10

Now, taking the second equation;

y = 0.5x-6

Put the value of x = a and y = -1;

(-1) = 0.5(a)-6

0.5a = 6 - 1

0.5a = 5

a=\frac{5}{0.5}

a = 10

Since we get the value of a = 10 from the equations, so the value of a is 10.

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

130

Step-by-step explanation:

2(4x - 3) + 6(3y - 5)

2(4 × 5 - 3) + 6(3 × 7 - 5)

2(20 - 3) + 6(21 - 5)

2(17) + 6(16)

34 + 96

I dont get how to solve this?
Alex

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In standard form this could be rewritten as | b - 0 | > 6, which in words, says,

"b is greater than 6 units away from 0 on a number line".  If b is greater than 6 units away, both positive 6 and negative 6 are 6 units away from 0.  Because the values we need are greater than 6 units away from 0, we are starting at both 6 and -6 and moving away from 0.  

The "greater than" symbol indicates that this is a disjunction so the word "or" is used as opposed to in a conjunction where the word "and" is used.

Therefore, our solutions are

b < -6 or b > 6, the 3rd choice down

A spinner has sections labeled W W , X X , Y Y , and Z Z . The faces of a number cube are labeled 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. What is
Kisachek [45]
Total number of sections on the spinner = 4
So there can be 4 outcomes on 1 spin of the arrow on the arrow.

Number of faces of the cube = 6
So there can be 6 outcomes on rolling of the dice.

For each outcome of the spinner, there can be 6 outcomes of rolling a dice. So for 4 outcomes of the spinner, there will be 6 x 4 = 24 outcomes in total.

For example, WW and either of {1,2,3,4,5,6} can occur. This makes folloiwng 6 outcomes: WW1, WW2, WW3, WW4, WW5 and WW6

Same goes for XX (6 outcomes), YY (6 outcomes) and ZZ (6 outcomes)

Thus in total there will be 24 outcomes. 
So option j gives the correct answer

The Miller family likes to paddle along the North River.
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

4.7 miles per day.

If number two is meaning to add 4.7(.5)= 2.3(3) plus the original 14 miles over a three day travel from number one. Then the total distance for the six day trip would be 14+ 2.3(3)= 20.9

If it is meaning a total of 6 days traveling at half the speed

4.7÷2= 2.3 2.3 × 6= 13.8 miles
