Answer:

x=2 and y=36

Step-by-step explanation:

you have two equations

1) xy=72 and 2) (x+2)(y-4)=128

solve for one of the variables in equation 2), lets do y

(x+2)(y-4)=128, divide by (x+2) to both sides and add 4 to isolate variable y

therefore, y=(128/(x+2))+4

then plug in y into equation 1)

so x(our new y)=72

x( 128/(x+2) +4 )=72

distribute the x so you will get

(128/(x+2))x +4x=72

we are now solving for x, so isolate the x by subtracting 4x and multiplying by (x+2) to get

128x=(x+2)(72-4x)

multiply by distribution and combine like terms

-4x^2 -64x +144 =0

solve for x by quadratic formula, you'll get x=2 or x=-18

substitute back into equation 1), (2)(y)=72, solve for y to get 36

then you can check by substituting back into equation 2)

(2+2)(36-4)=128

(4)(32)=128, 128=128

PLEASE help me with this question!! I really need help!

Answer:

324π in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a sphere = 4πr² ( r is the radius )

Calculate r using the volume (V) formula

V = \frac{4}{3}πr³

Here V = 972π , thus

\frac{4}{3}πr³ = 972π ( divide both sides by π )

\frac{4}{3}r³ = 972 ( multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction )

4r³ = 2916 ( divide both sides by 4 )

r³ = 729 ( take the cube root of both sides )

r = \sqrt[3]{729} = 9

Thus

surface area = 4π × 9² = 4π × 81 = 324π in²

Songs that are not rock = 100 - 40 = 60%

It would be: 1240 * 60% = 1240 * 0.60 = 744

In short, Your Answer would be 744

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

11 sq units

Step-by-step explanation:

(6×4) - ½(6×1 + 4×3 + 2×4)

= 24 - ½(6+12+8)

= 24 - ½(26)

= 24-13

= 11 sq units

There are 5 red marbles and 12 silver marbles in a bag. You randomly choose one of the marbles. What is the probability of choos
AleksandrR [38]
So we know there are 5 red and 12 silver marbles, together making 16 marbles.

This would mean that there is a 5/17 chance of choosing a red marble.

When you do the math to convert 5/17 into a decimal, it turns into being a .29 chance.

Convert .29 into a decimal, and you know that you have a 29% chance of grabbing a red marble.

Hope this helped!
