Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 3x-y=28-----------(1)

Let 3x+y =14-----------(2)

(2)-(1)

3x-3x + y-(-y) =14-28

2y=-14

y=-14/2= -7

By adding 1 and 2

3x+3x+(-y)+(y) = 28+14

6x = 42

X=42/7=6

Answer:

x= 7, y= -7 or (7, -7)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-y=28

3x+y=14

because the y is opposite of each other in both equations you can cancel them out

3x=28

3x=14

next you add 3x to 3x, then 28 to 14 and get...

6x=42

next divide both sides by 6 and you get your answer for x...

x=7

now you must solve for y and you do this by substituting what you found for x in one equation it doesn't matter which because you'll get the same answer but you can check for both to make sure...

3(7)+y=14

21+y=14

y=-21+14

y=-7

Min-Jee is planting two rectangular flower beds. One bed is 2.78 feet by 4.81 feet, and the other bed is 2.78 feet by 5.61 feet.

Answer: $(2.78+4.81)(2.78+5.61)$

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> The complete exercise is attached.</h3><h3></h3>

The area of a rectangle can be calculated with this formula:

$A=lw$

Where "l" is the lenght and "w" is the width.

Then, you can notice that it can be obtained by multiplying the dimensions of the rectangle.

Knowing this, you can determine that the total area of the two flowers bed can be obtained by adding the products of their dimensions.

Since one of the rectangular flower bed is 2.78 feet by 4.81 feet and the other bed 2.78 feet by 5.61 feet, you can write the following expression to find the total area (in square feet)of the two beds:

$2.78*4.81 +2.78*5.61$

If you factor out 2.78:

$2.78(4.81 +5.61)$ or $(4.81 +5.61)2.78$

Therefore, the expression that does not represent the total area in square feet of the two beds, is:

$(2.78+4.81)(2.78+5.61)$

The perimeter of a semicircle is 5.14 feet. What is the semicircle’s area?

hammer [34]

$\bf \textit{circumference of a semi-circle}\\\\
C=\pi r\qquad 
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
-----\\
C=5.14
\end{cases}\implies 5.14=\pi r\implies \boxed{\cfrac{5.14}{\pi }=r}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{area of a semi-circle}\\\\
A=\cfrac{\pi r^2}{2} \implies A=\cfrac{\pi }{2}r^2\implies A=\cfrac{\pi }{2}\left( \boxed{\cfrac{5.14}{\pi }} \right)^2
\\\\\\
A=\cfrac{\pi }{2}\implies \cfrac{5.14^2}{\pi ^2}\implies A=\cfrac{26.4196}{2\pi }\implies A=\cfrac{13.2098}{\pi }$
