Solve by elimination.
The goal is to cancel out one of the variables in order to easily solve for the other variable.
Do this by changing the equations so that the coefficients of either x or y add up to 0.
Notice the coefficients of y are 3 and 3, if we make one of them negative then they add up to 0. 3+ (-3) = 0
Multiply 2nd equation by -1.
6x +3y = 9
-2x -3y = -1
__________
4x +0y = 8
Solve for x
4x = 8
x = 8/4 = 2
Plug x=2 back into one of original equations to find y.
---> 2(2) + 3y = 1
---> 4 + 3y = 1
---> 3y = -3
---> y = -1
Therefore solution is (2,-1)
Answer:
(2,3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: C (x, y) ➔ (0.375x, 0.375y)
Answer:
540 ft^2.
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the trapezoid = h/2 (10 + 18) = 14h.
By Pythagoras the height h = √(5^2 - 4^2) = 3.
So the area of the 2 trapezoidal bases = 2 * 14*3
= 84 ft^2.
Now we calculate the area of the four lateral rectangular sides:
= 10*12 + 18*12 + 2*5*12
= 456 ft^2.
Total area = 456 + 54
= 540 ft^2.
Answer:
P = $300
r = 0.15
n = 12
$544.61 (to the nearest cent)
$524.70 (to the nearest cent)
Step-by-step explanation:
P = principal amount = $300
r = annual interest rate in decimal form = 15% = 15/100 = 0.15
n = number of times interest is compounded per unit t = 12
<u>How much she'll owe in 4 years</u>
P = 300
r = 0.15
n = 12
t = 4
= $544.61 (to the nearest cent)
<u>Yearly compounding interest rate</u>
<u>How much she'll owe in 4 years at yearly compounding interest</u>
= $524.70 (to the nearest cent)
