Answer:

(14, 6 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{1}{7}$ x + $\frac{1}{6}$ y = 3 ( multiply through by 42 to clear the fractions )

6x + 7y = 126 → (1)

$\frac{1}{2}$ x - $\frac{1}{3}$ y = 5 ( multiply through by 6 to clear the fractions )

3x - 2y = 30 → (2)

Multiplying (2) by - 2 and adding to (1) will eliminate the x- term

- 6x + 4y = - 60 → (3)

Add (1) and (3)term by term to eliminate x

11y = 66 ( divide both sides by 11 )

y = 6

Substitute y = 6 into either of the 2 equations and evaluate for x

Substituting into (1)

6x + 7(6) = 126

6x + 42 = 126 ( subtract 42 from both sides )

6x = 84 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 14

Solution is (14, 6 )

What is the slope-intercept equation for the line below? (0,2) (5,4)

Alla [95]

Find the slope first
m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
m = (4-2)/(5-0)
m = 2/5

Find the slope-intercept equation
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
y - 2 = 2/5 (x - 0)
y - 2 = (2/5)x
y = (2/5)x + 2

A boy throws a ball into the air. The equation h=−16t^2+23t+4 models the path of the ball, where h is the height (in feet) of th

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

0.72secs

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the height of the ball in air modeled by the equation:

h=−16t²+23t+4

Required

Total time it spent in the air

To get this we need to calculate its time at the maximum height

At the maximum height,

v = dh/dt = 0

-32t + 23 = 0

-32t = -23

t = 23/32

t = 0.72secs

<em>Hence the total time it spend in the air will be 0.72secs</em>

Answer:

$520.28

Step-by-step explanation:

The finance charge is the amount that Emma will pay in order to cover the processing costs of the bedroom set. In this case it would be $520.28. You have first find the down payment cost ($384) and then find how much she needs to pay each month to cover the rest of the cost ($66.34) and multiply it by the 42 months to get $2786.28. Add the down payment onto that and subtract the original cost and you will get your finance charge of $520.28. Hope this helps!
