ANSWER

( \frac{2}{3} , \frac{1}{5} )

EXPLANATION

The first equation is

\frac{1}{2} x -  \frac{3}{4} y =  \frac{11}{60} ...(1)

The second equation is

\frac{2}{5} x  +  \frac{1}{6} y =  \frac{3}{10} ...(2)

We want to eliminate y, so we multiply the first equation by

\frac{4}{5}

\frac{4}{5}  \times \frac{1}{2} x - \frac{4}{5}    \times \frac{3}{4} y =  \frac{11}{60}  \times  \frac{4}{5}

\frac{2}{5} x - \frac{3}{5} y =  \frac{11}{75} ...(3)

We now subtract equation (3) from (2)

(\frac{2}{3} x  -  \frac{2}{3} x )+ ( \frac{1}{6} y -  -  \frac{3}{5}y ) =(  \frac{3}{10}  -  \frac{11}{75} )

\frac{1}{6} y  +  \frac{3}{5}y  =\frac{3}{10}  -  \frac{11}{75}

\frac{23}{30}y =  \frac{23}{150}

Multiply both sides by

\frac{30}{23}

\implies \:  \frac{30}{23} \times  \frac{23}{30}y=  \frac{23}{150}  \times  \frac{30}{23}

\implies \: y =  \frac{1}{5}

Substitute into the first equation to solve for x .

\frac{1}{2} x -  \frac{3}{4}  \times \frac{1}{5} =  \frac{11}{60}

Multiply to obtain

\frac{1}{2} x -  \frac{3}{20} =  \frac{11}{60}

\frac{1}{2} x = \frac{11}{60} + \frac{3}{20}

\frac{1}{2} x = \frac{1}{3}

Multiply both sides by 2.

2 \times \frac{1}{2} x =2 \times  \frac{1}{3}

x = \frac{2}{3}

The solution is

( \frac{2}{3} , \frac{1}{5} )

Solve . 3/27 = w/54
WINSTONCH [101]

\frac{3}{27}=\frac{w}{54}    Multiply 54 to both sides to get "w" by itself

(54)\frac{3}{27}=\frac{w}{54}(54)

\frac{162}{27} =w

6 = w

Work out the area of the trapezium ABDE.<br> B<br> 9 cm<br> 6 cm<br> 8 cm<br> →D<br> E
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Area of the trapezium ABDE = 30 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a trapezium = \frac{1}{2}(b_1+b_2)h

Here, b_1 and b_2 are the parallel sides of the trapezium

h = Distance between the parallel sides

From the picture attached,

ΔCAE and ΔCBD are the similar triangles.

So by the property of similarity their sides will be proportional.

\frac{AE}{BD}= \frac{CE}{CD}

\frac{9}{6}=\frac{CE}{8}

CE = \frac{9\times 8}{6}

CE = 12 cm

Therefore, DE = CE - CD

DE = 12 - 8 = 4 cm

Now area of trapezium ABDE = \frac{1}{2}(AE+BD)(DE)

                                                  = \frac{1}{2}(6+9)4

                                                  = 30 cm²

Therefore, area of the trapezium ABDE = 30 cm²

BRAINLIEST, MEDAL, STARS!!! PLEASE HELP MAEEE! TRIANGLE INEQUALITY THEORM! which collection of three side lengths can be used to
mestny [16]
C.  The Triangle Inequality Theorem States that any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the third side. It cannot be A because 35+40= 75, which is not greater than 75. It cannot be B because 40+30= 70, which is not greater than 75. It cannot be D because 35+40= 75, which is not greater than 80. It is C because 40+30= 70, which is greater than 65.

Find the indicated length. find LM
Roman55 [17]

The overall length is given as 22.

The line is split into 2 parts X and 3X.

So we have X + 3X = 22

Add X and #X to get 4X:

4X = 22

Divide both sides by 4 to get X:

X = 22 /4

X = 5.5

Now we know what X is so now replace x with 5.5 and solve for LM:

LM = 3X = 3*5.5 = 16.5
