Solve the simultaneous equation 2x - 5y = 9 3x + 4y = 2

Mathematics

Answer:

x = 2, y = -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 5y = 9

3x + 4y = 2

Multiply first equation by -3 and the second by 2:

-6x + 15y = -27

6x + 8y = 4            Adding the 2 equations:

23y = -23

y = -1.

Now substitute this value for y in the first equation:

2x - 5(-1) = 9

2x = 9 +5(-1)

2x = 9 - 5

2x = 4

x = 2.

A shipping crate holds 14 books. The dimensions of each book are 4 inches by 11 by 14 inches. For A-C, select Yes or No to indic
Inga [223]

Answer:

A. No

B. Yes

C. No

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimensions of each book are 4 inches by 11 by 14 inches.

A. Each book has a volume of 29 cubic inches.

Volume of each book = length × width × height

= 4 × 11 × 14

= 616 cubic inches

No

B. If the crate could hold 18 books the volume of the crate would be 11,088.

Volume of each book = 616 cubic inches

Volume of the crate = volume of each book × number of books

= 616 × 18

= 11,088 cubic inches

Yes

C. Each crate has a volume of about 8,524 cubic inches

If the crate holds 14 books,

Volume of the crate = volume of each book × number of books

= 616 × 14

= 8,624 cubic inches

No

Here we have a case of the least common multipl(lcm) of 6 and 20.
Prime numbers 2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19... (natural numbers greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself) .
lcm(6,20)= 6 20 | 2
                  3 10 | 3
                  1 10 | 2
                       5 | 5
                       1
2*3*2*5=60 The first one to get both calendar and the animal toy will be 60th.
 
Explenation: First we look for the smallest prime number with wich 6 and 20 can be devided by. That is 2. Next is 3. Since 10 is not divisible by 3, we only copy it. Under the 6 we got 1, wich is our goal. Now we continue to devide 10 by prime numbers till we also get 1. We now multiple all divisors and we get the least common multiple.
