Answer:

x = 10 and y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply first equation by 5 and 2nd equation by 3 then subtract equation 1 and 2, we get,

10x+15y= 130

9x+15y=120

( -) (-) (-)

x= 10

substituting the value of x in equation 1 we get

2x + 3y = 26

2*10 + 3y = 26

3y = 26-20

y =6/3

y= 2.i hope this helps

Talja [164]

Answer:

The answer is -4x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x^2 - 5x^2 + 4x^2

= -3x^2 + -5x^2 + 4x^2

Combine like terms:

-3x^2 + -5x^2 + 4x^2

(-3x^2 + -5x^2 + 4x^2)

= -4x^2

What is the volume of the square pyramid with base edges 4 m and height 3 m
olya-2409 [2.1K]

16 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Here we are going to find the volume of square pyramid.

Volume of square pyramid = (1/3) × (Base)^{2} × (Height)

Here base = 4 m

         Height = 3 m

Step 2:

Volume = (1/3) × (4 × 4) × 3

              = 16 m³

In an arithmetic sequence, a17 = -40 and
Viktor [21]

Answer:

Tn = 2Tn-1 - Tn-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Before we can generate the recursive sequence, we need to find the nth term of the given sequence.

nth term of an AP is given as:

Tn = a+(n-1)d

If a17 = -40

T17 = a+(17-1)d = -40

a+16d = -40 ...(1)

If a28 = -73

T28 = a+(28-1)d = -73

a+27d = -73 ...(2)

Solving both equations simultaneously using elimination method.

Subtracting 1 from 2 we have:

27d - 16d = -73-(-40)

11d = -73+40

11d = -33

d = -3

Substituting d = -3 into 1

a+16(-3) = -40

a - 48 = -40

a = -40+48

a = 8

Given a = 8, d = -3, the nth term of the sequence will be

Tn = 8+(n-1) (-3)

Tn = 8+(-3n+3)

Tn = 8-3n+3

Tn = 11-3n

Given Tn = 11-3n and d = -3

Tn-1 = Tn - d... (3)

Tn-1 = 11-3n +3

Tn-1 = 14-3n

Tn-2 = Tn-2d...(4)

Tn-2 = 11-3n-2(-3)

Tn-2 = 11-3n+6

Tn-2 = 17-3n

From 3, d = Tn - Tn-1

From 4, d = (Tn - Tn-2)/2

Equating both common difference

(Tn - Tn-2)/2 = Tn - Tn-1

Tn - Tn-2 = 2(Tn - Tn-1)

Tn - Tn-2 = 2Tn-2Tn-1

2Tn-Tn = 2Tn-1 - Tn-2

Tn = 2Tn-1 - Tn-2

The recursive formula will be

Tn = 2Tn-1 - Tn-2

A circular labyrinth has a circumference of 75 feet what is the distance from the outside edge of the labyrinth in to it center
Bas_tet [7]
The distance from the outside edge of a circle to its centre is given by its radius. The circumference of a circle is given by 2πr, thus if we know that this is equal to 75 feet and using π = 3.14, we get:

75 = 2*3.14*r
r = 11.942
Thus r = 12 ft (to the nearest foot)
