Answer:

x = -1 and y = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let u = 1/x, and v = 1/y

Then the pair of equations

-3/x + 4/y = 11

1/x - 2/y = -5

Can be written as

-3u + 4v = 11 .................................(1)

u - 2v = -5......................................(2)

From (2)

u = 2v - 5 .......................................(3)

Substituting (3) into (1)

-3(2v - 5) + 4v = 11

-6v + 15 + 4v = 11

-6v + 4v = 11 - 15

-2v = -4

v = 4/2 = 2

Substituting this value of v in (3)

u = 2v - 5

u = 2(2) - 5

= 4 - 5

= -1

That is

u = -1, v = 2

Since u = 1/x, and v = 1/y, we have

1/x = -1

=> x = -1

And

1/y = 2

=> y = 1/2

Therefore

x = -1 and y = 1/2

Answer:

your answer is D (6.72)

Step-by-step explanation:

substitute x by 4

y = 2.76(4) - 4.4

y = 11.12 - 4.4

y = 6.72

Therefore the option D (6.72) is the correct answer

20% of a number is xx. What is 100% of the number? .
ludmilkaskok [199]
So you said 20% is xx???
If 20% is xx or x^2 (x squared) then 100% must be 5x^2, since 20% times 5 would get you 100%.
