Write a system of equations using x and y in each for the following

1 answer:

4 0

1) x+y = 170
x-y = 26

2) Subtract the two equations from each other. Doing this you get 2y = 56.
So the value of y is 28. Then plug in the value of y into any of the two equations and solve for x.

x-28 = 26
x = 54

3) When writing solutions as an ordered pair, the x value always comes first followed by the y value. So it would be (54, 28).

Which number(s) below belong to the solution set of the inequality? Check all that apply.x + 16 < 51.

If you subtract 16 on both sides... x will be alone. Therefore 51-16=35
x=35 (B)

Find the diameter of a circle that has an area of 254.34mm2

zvonat [6]

To find the diameter, divide the area(254.34) by pi(3.1415) and then square the quotient

$\frac{254.34}{3.1415} = 80.95$
$\sqrt{80.95} = 8.99$
That is the radius now just times that by 2 so 2 x 8.99 = 17.98

Now I have a felling the might be wanting 18 because 8.99 is so close to 9 and this is also true for 80.95. They probably want 80.95 = 81, which the square root of that is 9, which is the radius and if you times that by 2 the diameter would equal 18
