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.

The altitude a ( in feet) of a plane t minutes after lift off is given by a=3400t+600
Julli [10]

Answer:

  6 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

'a' in the formula represents altitude in feet. You are told the altitude is 21000 feet, so put that into the formula:

   21000 = 3400t +600

You can solve this for t:

  20400 = 3400t . . . . . subtract 600 from both sides

  6 = t . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide both sides by 3400

The problem statement tells you that t represents minutes after lift off, so this solution means the altitude is 21000 feet 6 minutes after lift off.

The question is asking for the number of minutes after lift off that the plane reaches an altitude of 21000 feet, so this answers the question directly:

  The plane is at an altitude of 21000 feet 6 minutes after lift off.

Write a number in which the digit 3 is ten times the value of the digit 3 in 9.431
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

One number would be

9.31

The 3 in this number is 3/10

The 3 in the given number is 3/100

3/10 is 10 times bigger than 3/100

3/10 = 0.3

3/100 = 0.03

0.03 * x = 0.3                   Divide both sides by 0.03

0.03/0.03 x = 0.3/0.03

x = 10

4vir4ik [10]
The container is aproximatly 1064.16 cm^2

Volume of a cylinder (area of the base* height) + area of the sphere (4 *pi * r^2)
(25*30) + (4* pi * 25) = 750 + 314.15926535898 = 1064.15926535898
