Answer:

the x variable

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

3x + 6y = 27 → (1)

- 3x + 8y = 1 → (2)

Since the signs of the coefficients of x are opposite, then adding them will eliminate the x- term, that is

Add (1) and (2) term by term

0 + 14y = 28

14y = 28 ( divide both sides by 14 )

y = 2

Then substitute y = 2 into either equation for corresponding value of x

Answer:

= -3 (x-y)

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x - 4y + 2x + 7y

Collect the like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients

(-5+2)x

-3x

(-4+7)y

-3x + 3y

Factor out -3 from the expression

What is the best approximation of the surface area of this right cone?

inn [45]

$\bf \textit{total surface area of a cone}\\\\
s=\pi r\sqrt{r^2+h^2}+\pi r^2\quad 
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
h=height\\
-----\\
r=12\\
h=9
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
s=\pi (12)\sqrt{12^2+9^2}+\pi (12^2)\implies s=12\pi \sqrt{225}+144\pi 
\\\\\\
s=12\pi (15)+144\pi \implies s=180\pi +144\pi \implies s=324\pi$

Find f-1(x), if f(x) = 3x – 6. Justify your

Sergio039 [100]

Answer: 1/3 (x + 6)

Explanation: given f(x) = 3x - 6.
Let y = f(x) and so y = 3x - 6.
Trade places between x and y.
x = 3y - 6
Solve for y
x + 6 = 3y
y = x + 6/3
Now the new y is the inverse and so y = f-1(x)
f-1(x) = 1/3(x + 6)
