Answer:

x = 23/5 and y = 7/20

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 8y = 12 and 3x - 8y = 11 are two given equations

Now,

Step 1:

2x + 8y = 12 ...(1)

3x - 8y = 11 ...(2)

Step 2:

From equation (2) we get the value of x

i.e.,

3x - 8y = 11

3x = 8y + 11

x = 8y + 11/3

Step 3:

Now,

Put the value of x = 8y + 11/3 in equation (1) we get,

i.e.,

2x + 8y = 12

2(8y + 11/3) + 8y = 12

16y + 22/3 + 8y = 12

16y + 22 + 8y(3)/3 = 12

16y + 22 + 24y/3 = 12

16y + 24y + 22 = 12 * 3

40y = 36 - 22

40y = 14

y = 14/40

y = 7/20

Step 4:

Now,

Substitute the value of y = 7/20 in equation (2) we get,

i.e.,

3x - 8y = 11

3x - 8(7/20) = 11

3x - 56/20 = 11

3x - 14/5 = 11

3x = 11 + 14/5

3x = 11 * 5 + 14/5

3x = 55 + 14/5

3x = 69/5

x = 69/3 * 5

x = 23/5

The graph of the function f(x) is shown. Which graph represents the function f(2x)

slava [35]

Answer:

It should be the top left graph where there is point (1,1) and (-1, -1) y = 1/x

Step-by-step explanation:

from the original graph, I see:

f(x) = 2/x because f(2) = 1 = 2/2

f(1/4)= 2/(1/4) = 2

...

so then f(2x) compresses f(x) horizontally by a factor of 2

so f(2x) = 2/(2x) = 1/x

Jason volunteered at the pet shelter twice as many times as keith. Noah volunteered three times more often than jason. Keith vol

Alchen [17]

Answer:

$y = 6\cdot z$

$y$ - Number of times that Noah volunteered at pet shelter.

$z$ - Number of times that Keith volunteered at pet shelter.

Step-by-step explanation:

After reading the statement of the problem, the following variables are described below:

$x$ - Number of times that Jason volunteered at pet shelter.

$y$ - Number of times that Noah volunteered at pet shelter.

$z$ - Number of times that Keith volunteered at pet shelter.

The following two relations are presented herein:

Noah and Jason

$y = 3\cdot x$

Jason and Keith

$x = 2\cdot z$

The relationship between the number of times Noah and Keith volunteered is:

$y = 6\cdot z$

What is the value of a in the equation a = 2 + 3a + 10?

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

a= -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a=2+3a+10

In order to find the value of a, we have to isolate a on a single side of the equation

So,

subtracting 3a from both sides

a-3a = 2+10+3a-3a

=>a-3a=12

=> -2a = 12

Dividing both sides by -2

=> -2a/-2 = 12/-2

=> a = -6

The value of a in the given equation is -6 ..

total = 11 286

so you get 1144 - 11x

then divide 1144 by 11 and you get x = 104
