Answer:

x = -5 y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x + 5y = 15

cancel out the y

-3x + 5(0) = 15

-3x = 15

divide both sides by -3

x = -5

-3x + 5y = 15

cancel out the x

-3(0) + 5y = 15

5y = 15

divide both sides by 5

y = 3

Hope this helps!!

What is the solution to –4(8 – 3x) ≥ 6x – 8?<br><br> x ≥ –<br> x ≤ –<br> x ≥ 4<br> x ≤ 4

ollegr [7]

Answer:

x ≥ 4

Step-by-step explanation:

–4(8 – 3x) ≥ 6x – 8

Distribute

-32 +12x ≥ 6x – 8

Subtract 6x from each side

-32 +12x-6x ≥ 6x-6x – 8

-32 +6x ≥ – 8

Add 32 to each side

-32 +32 +6x≥ 32– 8

6x ≥ 24

Divide by 6

6x/6 ≥ 24/6

x ≥ 4

The speed of an object can be found by taking the distance it travels and dividing it by the time it takes to travel that distan

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

<h2>True the speed S in in Feet/second</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we are required to solve for the speed of an object.

given that the expression to solve for the speed is expressed as

speed= distance/time

given data

distance=100 feet

time=2.5 seconds

substituting our given data into the expression we can solve for speed as

speed (S)=100/2.5

S= 40feet/seconds

upon substituting our data the speed S was found to be 40feet/s

True the speed S in in Feet/second

A life guard in a tower 20 ft above sea level spots a struggling surfer at an angle of depression of 15 . How far is the surfer

GalinKa [24]

Answer: $19.31\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The tower is at a height of $h=20\ ft$

the angle of depression is $15^{\circ}$

Suppose the surfer is x ft away from the base of the tower

$\therefore \text{From the figure, we can write}\\\\\Rightarrow \cos 15^{\circ}=\dfrac{x}{h}\\\\\Rightarrow x=h\cos 15^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow x=20\cos 15^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow x=19.31\ ft$

Therefore, the surfer is at a distance of 19.31 ft from the base of the tower.
