prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Depth below sea level is the independent quantity,

Water pressure is the dependent quantity

Step-by-step explanation:

An independent quantity is a variable that can be changed in an experiment. While, dependent quantity results from the independent quantity or we can say, that depends upon the independent quantity.

Here,

The water pressure increases 0.44 pounds per square inch (0.44 psi) with each increase of one foot in depth below sea level,

So, for measuring the water pressure we took depth below sea level as a variable,

⇒ Depth below sea level is the independent quantity,

While, with increasing depth by 1 foot the pressure is also increase by 0.44 pounds per square inches ⇒ pressure depends upon the depth

⇒ Water pressure is the dependent quantity.

For which system of equations is (5, 3) the solution? A. 3x – 2y = 9 3x + 2y = 14 B. x – y = –2 4x – 3y = 11 C. –2x – y = –13 x

Alla [95]

The correct answer is:

D) $\left \{ {{2x-y=7} \atop {2x+7y=31}} \right.$ .

Explanation:

We solve each system to find the correct answer.

For A:
$\left \{ {{3x-2y=9} \atop {3x+2y=14}} \right.$

Since we have the coefficients of both variables the same, we will use elimination to solve this.

Since the coefficients of y are -2 and 2, we can add the equations to solve, since -2+2=0 and cancels the y variable:
$\left \{ {{3x-2y=9} \atop {+(3x+2y=14)}} \right. 
\\
\\6x=23$

Next we divide both sides by 6:
6x/6 = 23/6
x = 23/6

This is not the x-coordinate of the answer we are looking for, so A is not correct.

For B:
$\left \{ {{x-y=-2} \atop {4x-3y=11}} \right.$

For this equation, it will be easier to isolate a variable and use substitution, since the coefficient of both x and y in the first equation is 1:
x-y=-2

Add y to both sides:
x-y+y=-2+y
x=-2+y

We now substitute this in place of x in the second equation:
4x-3y=11
4(-2+y)-3y=11

Using the distributive property, we have:
4(-2)+4(y)-3y=11
-8+4y-3y=11

Combining like terms, we have:
-8+y=11

Add 8 to each side:
-8+y+8=11+8
y=19

This is not the y-coordinate of the answer we're looking for, so B is not correct.

For C:
Since the coefficient of x in the second equation is 1, we will use substitution again.

x+2y=-11

To isolate x, subtract 2y from each side:
x+2y-2y=-11-2y
x=-11-2y

Now substitute this in place of x in the first equation:
-2x-y=-13
-2(-11-2y)-y=-13

Using the distributive property, we have:
-2(-11)-2(-2y)-y=-13
22+4y-y=-13

Combining like terms:
22+3y=-13

Subtract 22 from each side:
22+3y-22=-13-22
3y=-35

Divide both sides by 3:
3y/3 = -35/3
y = -35/3

This is not the y-coordinate of the answer we're looking for, so C is not correct.

For D:
Since the coefficients of x are the same in each equation, we will use elimination. We have 2x in each equation; to eliminate this, we will subtract, since 2x-2x=0:

$\left \{ {{2x-y=7} \atop {-(2x+7y=31)}} \right. 
\\
\\-8y=-24$

Divide both sides by -8:
-8y/-8 = -24/-8
y=3

The y-coordinate is correct; next we check the x-coordinate Substitute the value for y into the first equation:
2x-y=7
2x-3=7

Add 3 to each side:
2x-3+3=7+3
2x=10

Divide each side by 2:
2x/2=10/2
x=5

This gives us the x- and y-coordinate we need, so D is the correct answer.

How do you solve for x a=2x+6xz

maksim [4K]

a = 2x + 6xz

a = x(2 + 6z) factored out "x" on right side

a/(2 + 6z) = x divided both sides by (2 + 6z)

Answer: x = $\frac{a}{2 + 6z}$
