HELP PLEASE Use elimination to solve the system of equations 2x + 3y = 9 x + 5y = 8

Mathematics
1 answer:
ikadub [295]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

y=5/7   x=31/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Make the x values the opposite of each other:

-2(x+5y=8)

-2x-10y=-16

2x+3y=9

Combine like terms and solve for y:

-7y=-5

y=5/7

Plug y in to find x.

x+5(5/7)=8

x+25/7=8

56/7-25/7=x

x=31/7

What is the sum of the first 51 consecutive odd positive integers?
Angelina_Jolie [31]
We call:

a_{n} as the set of <span>the first 51 consecutive odd positive integers, so:

</span>a_{n} = \{1, 3, 5, 7, 9...\}

Where:
a_{1} = 1
a_{2} = 3
a_{3} = 5
a_{4} = 7
a_{5} = 9
<span>and so on.

In mathematics, a sequence of numbers, such that the difference between two consecutive terms is constant, is called Arithmetic Progression, so:

3-1 = 2
5-3 = 2
7-5 = 2
9-7 = 2 and so on.

Then, the common difference is 2, thus:

</span>a_{n} = \{ a_{1} , a_{1} + d, a_{1} + d + d,..., a_{1} + (n-2)d+d\}
<span>
Then:

</span>a_{n} = a_{1} + (n-1)d
<span>
So, we need to find the sum of the members of the finite series, which is called arithmetic series:

There is a formula for arithmetic series, namely:

</span>S_{k} = ( \frac{a_{1} +  a_{k}}{2}  ).k
<span>
Therefore, we need to find:
</span>a_{k} =  a_{51}  

Given that a_{1} = 1, then:

a_{n} = a_{1} + (n-1)d = 1 + (n-1)(2) = 2n-1

Thus:
a_{k} = a_{51} = 2(51)-1 = 101

Lastly:

S_{51} = ( \frac{1 + 101}{2} ).51 = 2601

Which postulate or theorem proves that these two triangles are congruent?
mario62 [17]

Answer:

ASA postulate of congruency

Step-by-step explanation:

Here Given AE=ED and ∠BAE=∠CDE

Also if we clearly observe ∠AEB=∠CED

By ASA postulate those two triangles are congruent.

The ASA (Angle,Side,Angle) postulate states that if two triangles with two angles and the included angle are equal then the two triangles are congruent.

Please help!! I only have 30 minutes left!! Given that x and y are positive integers and (x·2)+x(2^2)+(y·2^3)+(y·2^4)=42, what i
Viktor [21]

Answer:

xy = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression to be evaluated is:

2\cdot x +4\cdot x + 8\cdot y + 16\cdot y = 42

6\cdot x + 24\cdot y = 42

By some algebraic handling:

6\cdot (x + 4\cdot y) = 42

Where:

x+4\cdot y = 7

There is one possible solution:

x = 3, y = 1

And consequently,

xy = 3
