Answer:

x = -32/3

y =28/3

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 4y = 16

-5x-4y = 16

Add the equations

2x + 4y = 16

-5x-4y = 16

--------------------

-3x = 32

Divide each side by -3

x = -32/3

Now solve for y

2x+4y = 16

2(-32/3) +4y = 16

-64/3 +4y = 16

Multiply each side by 3 to get rid of the fractions

-64 +3*4y = 16*3

-64 + 12y = 48

Add 64 to each side

12y = 112

Divide by 12

12y/12 = 112/12

y =28/3

Which graph shows a system of equations with no solutions?
podryga [215]

Graph of Parallel lines shows a system of equations with no solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider a set of equations

7x - 2y = 16\\21x + 6y =24

If we solve this both equations using any one of the solving method, (Substitution method) then we will get

7x-2y=16\\7x=16+2y\\x=\frac{16+2y}{7}

substituting the following x in 2nd equation (21x + 6y = 24) We get

21(\frac{16+2y}{7} )+6y=24\\3(16+2y)+6y=24\\48+6y+6y=24\\12y=24-48\\y=-\frac{24}{12} \\y=-2

Put y= -2 in x equation

x=\frac{16+2(-2)}{7}\\ x=\frac{16-4}{7}\\\x=\frac{12}{7} \\x=1.71

Comparing these (x,y) values we can understand that they never meet at a point

How many units of a 10% solution are needed to prepare 500 units of a 2% solution?
Akimi4 [234]
First find how many units of solution there is:

500* 2% = 500(.02) = 10 units

You need 10 units of solution in 'x' units of a 10% solution.

x*10% = 0.1x = 10 units   ----->  x = 10/0.1 = 100

100 units are needed

A spherical hot air balloon has a diameter of 55 feet when the balloon is inflated the radius increases at a rate of 1.5 feet pe
Nuetrik [128]

Answer: 46.90mins

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data:

The diameter of the balloon = 55 feet

The rate of increase of the radius of the balloon when inflated = 1.5 feet/min.

Solution:

dr/dt = 1.5 feet per minute = 1.5 ft/min

V = 4/3·π·r³

The maximum volume of the balloon

= 4/3 × 3.14 × 55³

= 696556.67 ft³

When the volume 2/3 the maximum volume

= 2/3 × 696556.67 ft³

= 464371.11 ft³

The radius, r₂ at the point is

= 4/3·π·r₂³

= 464371.11 ft³

r₂³ = 464371.11 ft³ × 3/4

= 348278.33 ft³

348278.333333

r₂ = ∛(348278.33 ft³) ≈ 70.36 ft

The time for the radius to increase to the above length = Length/(Rate of increase of length of the radius)

The time for the radius to increase to the

above length

Time taken for the radius to increase the length.

= is 70.369 ft/(1.5 ft/min)

= 46.90 minutes

46.90mins is the time taken to inflate the balloon.
