Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

12 x + 4 y = 42 .............1

16 x + 8 y = 64 .............2

Eliminate y

multiply (1)by -2

Multiply (2) by 1

-24 x -8 y = -84

16 x 8 y = 64

Add the two equations

-8 x = -20

Answer:

$2.6 for 25 pound bag; $2.8 for 30 pound bag

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure out the cost per pound, you need to divide the cost by the total number of pounds. So, for the 25 pound bag, divide 65 by 25 to get $2.6. For the 30 pound bag, divide 84 by 30 to get 2.8.

kvasek [131]

Answer:

36 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

(Imagine a huge triangle on a perfectly open space-- not with streets or houses or cornfields.)

The dimensions of the two sides given are multiples of a classic Pythagorean Triple: 3, 4, 5.    3^{2} + 4^{2} = 5^{2}  

9 is 3x3, 12 is 3x4 so the remaining side would be 3x5  15

Add those 3 sides to get the total distance, 36 miles.

Simplify completely
Mandarinka [93]

Answer: x+2 / x+ 9, x = -2, x=-9   ( A )

Solution:

Breakdown the problem into two sets

Step 1:  simplify x^2 -10x - 24

Factorize the above equation,

Multiply the last term (24) with the first term coefficient i.e. 1

Step 2: Then, find the factors of 24 in a way that when you add or subtract it sums up to 10

x2 - 12x + 2x - 24  >>>>  (x2-12x) + (2x-24) >>> take common

>>>> x(x-12) + 2( x-12)

Step 3:   (x + 2)  (x - 12)

Step 4: Step 1:  simplify x^2 - 3x - 108 using the same steps

x2 - 12x + 9x - 108 >>>>  take common x(x-12) + 9 ( x -12) >>>

(x + 9)  (x - 12) final product

Now, Simplify the equation as a whole

 (x + 2)  (x - 12) /  (x + 9)  (x - 12)                         Note:  (x - 12) cancels out  

=  (x + 2) /  (x + 9)     with x= -2 and x= -9
