Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Eq. 1 )   −5x−3y−9=0

Eq. 2)   4x−18y−54=0

there are two routes to solve this,   Substitution or  elimination,  I'll go for the 2nd one because I can see that the y values are a multiple of each other :)

    6 *( −5x−3y−9=0 )

Eq. 3) -30x -18y =54

subtract Eq. 2 from Eq. 3  :)

-30x -18y =54

<u>-( 4x−18y=54)</u>

-34x = 0

so according to the equations then x =0 but,  that's not really a full answer, so now we should go back and try the other method, substitution,

then:

-5x = 9 +3y

x = - 9/5 + (-3/5)y

now plug that into Eq. 2

4( - 9/5 + (-3/5)y ) - 18y = 54

-36/5 + (-12/5)y -18y = 54

(-12/5)y - (90/5)y = 54+36/5

-(102/5)*y =270/5+36/5

-(102/5)y = 306/5

y = (-5/102)*(306/5)

y = -306/102

y = -3

then plug in for either equation

-5x-3( -3) = 9

-5x + 9 = 9

-5x = 0

x = 0

now we have the full answer

check it by plugging in both x and y into the 2nd equation

4(0) - 18(-3) = 54

54= 54

this seems good

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: You can only use Pythagorean's Theorem on a right triangle.

Part B: The side across from the right angle is the hypotenuse. It has a length of 15.

Part C: To find the missing side using Pythagorean's Theorem:

a^2+11^2=15^2 and

a^2+121=225 and

a^2=104 and

a = 10.20

Question 1 (1 point)
olya-2409 [2.1K]

For this case we can propose a system of equations:

x: Let the variable that represents the number of small cookies

y: Let the variable that represents the number of large cookies

According to the statement we have:

x + y = 130\\2x + 3y = 310

We multiply the first equation by -2:

-2x-2y = -260

We have the following equivalent system:

-2x-2y = -260\\2x + 3y = 310

We add the equations:

-2x + 2x-2y + 3y = -260 + 310\\y = 50

We look for the value of the variable "x":

x = 130-y\\x = 130-50\\x = 80

Answer:

They sold 80 small cookies and 50 large cookies

A nursery has 15 bags of topsoil. Each planter holds 1/8 of a bag.
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

120 planters can be filled with topsoil.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since each planter can hold 1/8th of a bag of topsoil, this means that one bag of topsoil can fill up 8 planters.

15 x 8 = 120, so this means that 120 planters can be filled with topsoil.
