Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 25 ...........................(1)

{4x + 2y  =64} / 2    divide the equation by 2

2x + y = 32 ........................(3)

Step Two

subtract (1) from (3)

2x + y = 32

x   + y = 25

x = 7

Therefore from equation 1 we get x + y =  25

but x = 7

7 + y = 25       Subtract 7 from both sides.

y = 25 - 7

y = 18

Check

4*x + 2*y =  64

4*7 + 2*18 =? 64

28 + 36 = ? 64

64 = 64

The checks out to be the right answer.

Find the area of each sector. Round your answers to the nearest tenth. ​
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

Area of sector = 102.6 feet squared

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Radius of circle = 14 ft

Angle θ = 60°

Find:

Area of sector

Computation:

Area of sector = [θ/360]πr²

Area of sector = [60/360](22/7)(14)²

Area of sector = [1/6][22/7][196]

Area of sector = 102.6 feet squared

A researcher posts a newspaper advertisement offering 520 in exchange for participation in a short study. The researcher accepts
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

It's a valid sample because the first five people were selected to participate.

Step-by-step explanation:

True because random people who saw the advertisement responded. By chance, not every person who saw the advertisement answered, therefore it was random, but it would be more random if he decided to reject the second, fourth, sixth, and eighth person, and only the first, third, fifth, seventh, and ninth were chosen.

Suppose you know the perimeter of n octagons arranged as shown. What would you do to find the perimeter if 1 more octagon was ad
kogti [31]

As shown in the figures given :

For Figure 1 : perimeter = 8 units   [As can be seen in the figure]

For figure 2(with 2 octagons) : perimeter = 8 × 2 - 1 = 15 units    [since 1 side is common ]

For figure 2(with 3 octagons) : perimeter = 8 × 3 - 2 = 22 units  [since 2 sides is common ]

If one more octagon is added

then perimeter = 8 × 4 - 3 = 29 units    [since 3 sides will be common ]
