The equation is:

3n - 3 = 2n + 19

=> 3n - 2n = 19 + 3

=> n = 22

So, the answer is 22.

Type the correct answer in each box. Use numerals instead of words.

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

System A has 4 real solutions.

System B has 0 real solutions.

System C has 2 real solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

System A:

x^2 + y^2 = 17 eq(1)

y = -1/2x eq(2)

Putting value of y in eq(1)

x^2 +(-1/2x)^2 = 17

x^2 + 1/4x^2 = 17

5x^2/4 -17 =0

Using quadratic formula:

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

a = 5/4, b =0 and c = -17

$x=\frac{-(0)\pm\sqrt{(0)^2-4(5/4)(-17)}}{2(5/4)}\\x=\frac{0\pm\sqrt{85}}{5/2}\\x=\frac{\pm\sqrt{85}}{5/2}\\x=\frac{\pm2\sqrt{85}}{5}$

Finding value of y:

y = -1/2x

$y=-1/2(\frac{\pm2\sqrt{85}}{5})$

$y=\frac{\pm\sqrt{85}}{5}$

System A has 4 real solutions.

System B

y = x^2 -7x + 10 eq(1)

y = -6x + 5 eq(2)

Putting value of y of eq(2) in eq(1)

-6x + 5 = x^2 -7x + 10

=> x^2 -7x +6x +10 -5 = 0

x^2 -x +5 = 0

Using quadratic formula:

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

a= 1, b =-1 and c =5

$x=\frac{-(-1)\pm\sqrt{(-1)^2-4(1)(5)}}{2(1)}\\x=\frac{1\pm\sqrt{1-20}}{2}\\x=\frac{1\pm\sqrt{-19}}{2}\\x=\frac{1\pm\sqrt{19}i}{2}$

Finding value of y:

y = -6x + 5

y = -6(\frac{1\pm\sqrt{19}i}{2})+5

Since terms containing i are complex numbers, so System B has no real solutions.

System B has 0 real solutions.

System C

y = -2x^2 + 9 eq(1)

8x - y = -17 eq(2)

Putting value of y in eq(2)

8x - (-2x^2+9) = -17

8x +2x^2-9 +17 = 0

2x^2 + 8x + 8 = 0

2x^2 +4x + 4x + 8 = 0

2x (x+2) +4 (x+2) = 0

(x+2)(2x+4) =0

x+2 = 0 and 2x + 4 =0

x = -2 and 2x = -4

x =-2 and x = -2

So, x = -2

Now, finding value of y:

8x - y = -17

8(-2) - y = -17

-16 -y = -17

-y = -17 + 16

-y = -1

y = 1

So, x= -2 and y = 1

System C has 2 real solutions

First find the area of the triangle,
(8.4 x 24)/2 = 100.8
Then find the area of the parallelogram,
24 x 12 = 288

Then add both,
100.8+288 = 388.8 yd^2

Solve for h in A = ½ ah - ½ bh. Solve for h in A = ½ ah - ½ bh .

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

h = A / ( 1/2 a - 1/2 b)

Step-by-step explanation:

A = ½ ah - ½ bh

Factor out an h

A = h( 1/2 a - 1/2 b)

Divide each side by ( 1/2 a - 1/2 b)

A / ( 1/2 a - 1/2 b) = h ( 1/2 a - 1/2 b)/ ( 1/2 a - 1/2 b)

A / ( 1/2 a - 1/2 b) = h

h = A / ( 1/2 a - 1/2 b)

Show your work 2 1/5 × 3 1/8

vesna_86 [32]

Solution

For this case we can do the following:

$2\cdot\frac{1}{5}=\frac{2\cdot5+1}{5}=\frac{11}{5}$ $3\cdot\frac{1}{8}=\frac{3\cdot8+1}{8}=\frac{25}{8}$

And then if we multiply we got:

$\frac{11}{5}\cdot\frac{25}{8}=\frac{55}{8}$
