Answer:

we will have to multiply the second equation by 3 to eliminate the y variable by adding.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equations

4x – 3y = 6 → (1)

6x + 2y = 10 → (2)

As the first equation is multiplied by 2,

2(4x – 3y) = (2)6

8x - 6y = 12 → (3)

As we have to eliminate y,

so multiply the second equation by 3,

6x + 2y = 10

3(6x + 2y) = 3(10)

18x + 6y = 30 → (4)

So now adding the new equations (3) and (4) will eliminate the y variable by adding

8x - 6y = 12

18x + 6y = 30

--------------------

26x + 0y = 42

26x = 42

x = 42/26

x = 21/13

Therefore, we will have to multiply the second equation by 3 to eliminate the y variable by adding.

A new library, L, is to be built at some point along a straight road, R, such that its distance from train station, T, is the sh

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Coordinates of the new library is (150, 70)

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the shortest possible distance means that line from point T to point R has to be perpendicular.

Now, the equation of R is given as;

y = x - 80 - - - (1)

For T to be perpendicular, it means it will have a slope equal to the negative reciprocal of line R.

Thus, slope of T is -1/1 = - 1

Thus, using line - slope intercept of y = mx + c, we can find equation of T as;

140 = -1(80) + c

140 = -80 + c

c = 140 + 80

c = 220

Thus, equation is;

y = -x + 220 - - - (eq 2)

Adding equation 1 to equation 2,we have;

y + y = 220 - 80

2y = 140

y = 140/2

y = 70

Putting 70 for y in eq 1 gives;

70 = x - 80

x = 70 + 80

x = 150

Thus;

Coordinate of the new library is (150, 70)

In the pulley system shown in this figure, MQ = 30 mm, NP = 10 mm, and QP = 21 mm. Find MN.

ankoles [38]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

$\boxed{\overline{MN}=37.96}$

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

For a better understanding of this problem, see the figure below. Our goal is to find $\overline{MN}$ . Since:

$\angle MRS=\angle MQP=90^{\circ} \\ \\ \overline{MQ}=\overline{MR}=30mm$

and $\overline{MN}$ is a common side both for ΔMRN and ΔMQN, then by SAS postulate, these two triangles are congruent and:

$\overline{RN}=\overline{QN}$

By Pythagorean theorem, for triangle NQP:

$\overline{QN}=\sqrt{\overline{NP}^2+\overline{QP}^2} \\ \\ \overline{QN}=\sqrt{10^2+21^2} \\ \\ \overline{QN}=\sqrt{541}$

Applying Pythagorean theorem again, but for triangle MQN:

$\overline{MN}=\sqrt{\overline{MQ}^2+\overline{QN}^2} \\ \\ \overline{MN}=\sqrt{30^2+(\sqrt{541})^2} \\ \\ \boxed{\overline{MN}=37.96}$

Dexter has four different coins in his pocket. He randomly selects a coin from his pocket, replaces it, and selects another coin

skad [1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So what is the probability of the selecting the first coin? There are total of 4 different coins, so the probability of getting a dime is 1 out of 4, then he replace it, then again the probability stays the same, he still has 1 out 4 chance of getting a dime. So then it's just 1/4*1/4=1/16 :)
