10. 2x + 7y = 1 2x - 4y = 12 Solve for y

Mathematics
1 answer:
adoni [48]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The solution for y = -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

2x\ +\ 7y\ =\ 1    ....(1)

2x\ -\ 4y\ =\ 12  ....(2)

So, to solve for y, first we solve for x in equation (2):

2x-4y=12

⇒2x=12+4y

Dividing both sides by 2,

⇒x=6+2y            

Now, substituting the value of x  in equation (1):

2x+7y=1

⇒2(6+2y)+7y=1

⇒12+4y+7y=1

⇒12+11y=1

⇒11y=1-12

⇒11y=-11

Dividing both sides by 11,

⇒y=-1

Therefore, the solution for y = -1.

If these two shapes are similar, what is the measure of the missing length g?
Sophie [7]
So if the shapes are similar, they have to have a number multiple from to get the other triangle. If you divide 63 by 42, you get 1.5. Then you have to divide 54 by 1.5 to get G and that would be 36.

Which expression is the factored form of 2/3 x+4
scoundrel [369]
By expanding D it is clear that it is the factored form of 2/3x + 4

as 2/3x + 4 = 2/3x + 4*3/3

= 2/3x + (2*3)*(2/3). ( rearranging terms)

=2/3( x+ 2*3). ( taking 2*3 common)

=2/3( x + 6)


which is option D

hope it helped ^_^

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

total cost= $5,814

Step-by-step explanation:

Total linear feet measured: (110 x 2) + (270 x 2) = 760 linear ft

total sq ft= 760 x (7) = 5320 sq ft

total linear ft x labor= 760 x 1.70 = 1292 labor

Total sq ft x Cyclone fencing cost= 5320 x .85 = 4522

the total cost is 1292 + 4522 = $5,814

If U-235 has a half-life of 713 million years and the age of the sample is 2.631 billion years old then how many half-lifes has
lutik1710 [3]
<span>As the age of the U-235 sample is 2.631 billion years, and the half-life of U-235 is 713 million years, the sample has undergone 2.361 X 1,000,000,000 / 713 X 1,000,000 = 3.69 half lives. In each half-life the sample reduces to half its original weight according to the radioactive Half-Life Formula: ln (Nt /N0) = -kt, where N0 = mass of the original weight of radioactive material, Nt = mass of radioactive material at time t, k = decay constant and t = time interval . We have to put Nt/N0 = 1/2 for time interval = half-life.</span>
