Answer:

The solution is (1,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

- 2x - y = - 4

x + 2y = 5

Multiply the second equation by 2 so we can eliminate x

2( x + 2y) = 5*2

2x +4y = 10

Add this to the first equation

- 2x - y = - 4

2x +4y = 10

----------------------

3y = 6

Divide each side by 3

3y/3 = 6/3

y = 2

- 2x - y = - 4

x + 2y = 5

Multiply the first equation by 2 to eliminate y

2(- 2x - y) = - 4*2

-4x -2y = -8

Add this to the second equation

-4x -2y = -8

x + 2y = 5

------------------

-3x = -3

Divide by -3

-3x/-3 = -3/-3

x = 1

The solution is (1,2)

Answer:

I believe it is A

Step-by-step explanation:

I dont quite remember the formula, but I belive that 30 would be correct because if im remembering correctly the formulas are "a + b = c" and "c - (a/b) = (a/b)

a/b = a or b, depending what they give you

The Collatz conjecture is one of the most famous unsolved mathematical problems, because it's so simple, you can explain it to a

Vinil7 [7]

Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. However, I inferred you need a brief explanation about The Collatz conjecture.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Put simply, what the Collatz conjecture unsolved problem entails is that if any positive number is picked and it is:

An even number (eg 2, 4, 6,...), then if they are divided by 2, the new number gotten should undergo the same process (that is to be divided by 2), it is believed your calculation would finally end up at 1. For example, let's pick the number 6, (6÷2=4; repeating the process 4÷2=<u>1</u>)
An odd number, then if they are multiplied by 3 and 1 is added to the result, it is believed that your calculation would finally end up at 1.

Grade 5 farm has 85 rows of cabbages.If there are 58 cabbages in each row ,how many cabbages are there in the farm to the neares

ElenaW [278]

The number of cabbages on the farm to the nearest thousand is 5000 based on the given parameters

<h3>How to determine the number of cabbages on the farm to the nearest thousand</h3>

The number of rows is given as:

Number of rows = 85

The number of cabbage on each row is

Number of Cabbage on each row = 58

The number of cabbages on the farm is calculated as:

Farm = Number of rows * Number of Cabbage on each row
