The common factor is 2x^2
2x^2(x-5)
3.84/16 = 0.24 per tangerine
The solution of the equation is x= 3 and y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
-3x-4y = -17 and
-x-3y = -9
The system of equation can be rewritten as
3x+4y = 17 ------eq 1 and
x+3y = 9 ------ eq 2
To solve for x and y
Multiplying eq 2 by 3 we get,
3x + 9y = 27
or, 3x = 27-9y
Putting this value of x into eq 1 we get,
27-9y +4y = 17
or, -5y = 17-27
or, -5y = -10
or, y = 2
Now put y=2 in eq 2 we get,
x = 9 - 3(2)
= 3
Hence the solution is x = 3 and y = 2
The quotient of a number and -2 = n/-2 or = -n/2
Hope that helps.
I am presuming that the question is who won or by how much did the winner win.
distance equals rate times time, or d = r*t
For the Hare d = 1600 and r = 10
1600 = 10 t
Divide both sides by 10
t = 160
The hare finished in 160 seconds
For the tortoise d = 1600 - 780 = 820 (due to the head start) and r = 5.3
820= 5.3 t
Divide both sides by 5.3
t = 154.72 (rounded to the hundredths place)
The tortoise won by 5. 28 seconds (160-154.72)
