How do I solve this linear system using the elimination method?

Mathematics

Answer:

Solution: x=4, y = \frac{5}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>System of Equations</u>

Solve the system:

x + 4y = 14

3x - 2y = 7

using the elimintation method.

To use the elimination method, we must add or subtract both equations in such a way that one of the variables goes away, and only one remains.

It requires to multiply one of them by a specific factor to match the coefficients. For example, multiply the first equation by -3:

-3x - 12y = -42

And add it to the second:

3x - 2y = 7

To result:

-14y = -35

Divide by -14:

y = -35/(-14)

Simplifying:

y = \frac{5}{2}

Now calculate x:

x = 14 - 4*\frac{5}{2}

x = 14-10

x=4

Solution: x=4, y = \frac{5}{2}

If $-2 &lt; x \le 3,$ then find all possible values of $5x + 1.$ Give your answer in interval notation.
kotegsom [21]

Answer: (-9, 16]

This is the interval from -9 to 16. Exclude -9 but include 16.

=====================================================

Work Shown:

The idea is to multiply all sides by 5, then add 1 to all sides

-2 < x \le 3

5(-2) < 5x \le 5(3)

-10 < 5x \le 15

-10+1 < 5x+1 \le 15+1

-9 < 5x+1 \le 16

This converts to the interval notation  (-9, 16]

note: a curved parenthesis means "do not include this value in the solution set"; while a square bracket has us include the value. So we exclude -9 and include 16.

The surface area of a given cone is 1,885.7143 square inches. What is the slang height?
kap26 [50]

Answer:

If r >> h, the slang height of the cone is approximately 23.521 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a cone (A) is given by this formula:

A = \pi \cdot r^{2} + 2\pi\cdot s

Where:

r - Base radius of the cone, measured in inches.

s - Slant height, measured in inches.

In addition, the slant height is calculated by means of the Pythagorean Theorem:

s = \sqrt{r^{2}+h^{2}}

Where h is the altitude of the cone, measured in inches. If r >> h, then:

s \approx r

And:

A = \pi\cdot r^{2} +2\pi\cdot r

Given that A = 1885.7143\,in^{2}, the following second-order polynomial is obtained:

\pi \cdot r^{2} + 2\pi \cdot r -1885.7143\,in^{2}  = 0

Roots can be found by the Quadratic Formula:

r_{1,2} = \frac{-2\pi \pm \sqrt{4\pi^{2}-4\pi\cdot (-1885.7143)}}{2\pi}

r_{1,2} \approx -1\,in \pm 24.521\,in

r_{1} \approx 23.521\,in \,\wedge\,r_{2}\approx -25.521\,in

As radius is a positive unit, the first root is the only solution that is physically reasonable. Hence, the slang height of the cone is approximately 23.521 inches.

Josiah want to gp to the movies with his friends. Tickets are $8.50 plus he must play Fangalingo a $3 transaction fee for purcha
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

The equation that represents the number of tickets that Josiah can buy with $45.50

3 + 8.50x = 45.50

The number of number of tickets that Josiah can buy with $45.50 is 5 ticketa

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of tickets be represented by x

Tickets are $8.50 plus he must play Fangalingo a $3 transaction fee for purchasing the tickets online.

The equation that represents the number of tickets that Josiah can buy with $45.50

$3 + $8.50 × x = $45.50

3 + 8.50x = 45.50

Solving further for x

3 + 8.50x = 45.50

8.50x = 45.50 - 3

8.50x = 42.50

x = 42.50/8.50

x = 5

Hence, the number of number of tickets that Josiah can buy with $45.50 is 5 ticketa
