Solve for x in the simultaneous equation 2x+y=3 ,5x-2y=12

Mathematics
1 answer:
sp2606 [1]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x + y = 3 → (1)

5x - 2y = 12 → (2)

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

4x + 2y = 6 → (3)

Add (2) and (3) term by term

(5x + 4x ) +( - 2y + 2y) = 12 + 6 , that is

9x = 18 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = 2

You purchased concentrated cleaner that must be diluted (watered down)
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

The volume of the concentrated 80 gallons mixture is 20 gallons

The volume of water in the 80 gallons mixture is 60 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The content of Container A = The cleaner

The concentration of the cleaner = 20% solution

The content of Container B = Pure water

The concentration of the desired solution = 5%

The volume of the required solution = 80 gallons

Let x represent the volume of the concentrated solution and y represent the volume of water in the 80 gallons mixture

Therefore, we have;

20/100 × x + y×0 = 5/100×80

x + y = 80

y = 80 - x

20/100 × x + (80 - x)×0 = 5/100×80

0.2·x = 4

x = 4/0.2 = 20

x = 20 gallons

y = 80 - x = 80 - 20 = 60

y = 60 gallons

The volume of the concentrated solution (80 gallons mixture) = x = 20 gallons

The volume of water in the 80 gallons mixture = y = 60 gallons.

Answer:

63 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

You already have the polgygon divided into two rectangles, so we will use them.

The top rectangle has the dimensions of 5 and 9.

The bottom rectangle has the dimensions of 6 and 3.

To find the area of a rectangle:

area = length x width

A = lw

The area of the top rectangle:

A = 5 x 9

A = 45 square inches

The area of the bottom rectangle:

A = 6 x 3

A = 18 square inches

To find the total area, add the two areas together.

45 + 18 = 63 square inches

What is the area of a parallelogram with a base of 38 meters and a height of 12 meters?
8090 [49]

For this case we have by definition that the area of a parallelogram is given by:

A = b * h

Where:

b: It's the base

h: It's the height

According to the data we have:

b = 38\ m\\h = 12 \ m

Substituting in the formula:

A = 38 * 12\\A = 456

The area of the parallelogram is A = 456 \ m ^ 2

Answer:

A = 456 \ m ^ 2
