Find the values of x and y.

Mathematics

Look at the picture.

We have the equation (1) 12x + 4y = 40.

We know, the sum of the acute angles in a right triangle is 90°.

Therefore we have the equation (2) (12x + 4y) + (17x - y) = 90

Substitute (1) to (2):

40 + 17x - y = 90        <em>subtract 40 from both sides</em>

17x - y = 50   (3)

We have the system of equations:

\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}12x + 4y = 40&|:4\\17x-y=50\end{array}\right\\\underline{+\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}3x + y = 10\\17x-y=50\end{array}\right}\ \text{add both side of equations}\\.\qquad20x=60\qquad|:20\\.\qquad x=3

Substitute the value of x to (3)

17(3)-y=50\\51-y=50\qquad|-51\\-y=-1\to y=1

Answer: x = 3 and y = 1.

A cylinder has a radius of 10 inchunits s and a height of 6 inches. About what is it’s volume in cubic inches? Use 3.14
kotykmax [81]

Given: A cylinder with radius = 10 inches and height = 6 inches.

We have to determine the volume of the cylinder.

Volume of a cylinder with radius 'r' and height 'h' is given by the formula \pi r^2 h

Substituting the value of 'r' and 'h', we get

Volume = 3.14 \times (10)^2 \times 6

Volume = 314 \times 6

Volume = 1884 cubic inches.

Therefore, the volume of the cylinder is 1884 cubic inches.

If there are 45 guests at the party, predict how many would choose a gift card?
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

Since there is a 50-50 chance of a person at the party choosing a gift card, and since there can only be 1 of 2 outcomes, we can assume that there will either be more people choosing a gift card than not, or there will be more people not choosing a gift card than are. So, that means that there would be 23 people (more or less) choosing a gift card and 22 people (more or less) not choosing a gift card or vice-versa.
