Answer:

a. (-1/2, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficients of x have opposite signs, so the x-terms can be eliminated by adding the two equations.

(2y -12x) +(3y +12x) = (16) +(9)

5y = 25 . . . . . . simplify

y = 5 . . . . . . . . .divide by 5

This matches only answer choice A.

<em>Check</em>

The other part of answer choice A is x = -1/2. We can test this to make sure it works:

2(5) -12(-1/2) = 16

10 + 6 = 16 . . . . . . true, the selected answer works OK

It is given that y is directly proportional to x. When x = 3, y = 18. (a) Find the equation connecting x and y. (b) Hence, find

guapka [62]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Given y is directly proportional to x then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of proportion

To find k use the condition when x = 3, y = 18 , then

18 = 3k ( divide both sides by 3 )

6 = k

y = 6x ← equation of proportion

(b)

(i)

when x = 12 , then

y = 6 × 12 = 72

(ii)

when y = 42

42 = 6x ( divide both sides by 6 )

7 = x

getting home from trick or treat celia and emma counted their candies. half of celias candies is equal to 2/3 of emmas candies.

Candies with celias and emmas is 60 and 45 respectively.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, Getting home from trick or treat celia and emma counted their candies. Half of celias candies is equal to 2/3 of emmas candies.

They had a total of 105 candies altogether.

We have to find how many candies did each of them have.

Let the number of candies with celias be n, then number of candies with emma will be 105 – n.

Now according to given condition.

$\begin{array}{l}{\frac{1}{2} \times \text { celias candies count }=\frac{2}{3} \times \text { emmas candies count }} \\\\ {\rightarrow \frac{1}{2} \times n=\frac{2}{3} \times(105-n)} \\\\ {\rightarrow 3 \times n=2 \times 2 \times(105-n)} \\\\ {\rightarrow 3 \times n=2 \times 2 \times(105-n)} \\\\ {\rightarrow 3 n=4(105-n)} \\\\ {\quad \rightarrow 3 n=420-4 n} \\\\ {\rightarrow 3 n=420-4 n} \\\\ {\rightarrow 3 n+4 n=420} \\\\ {\rightarrow 7 n=7 \times 60} \\\\ {\rightarrow n=60}\end{array}$

Hence, candies with celias and emmas is 60 and 45 respectively.

Point A is the midpoint of side XZ and point B is the midpoint of side YZ. Triangle X Y Z is cut by line segment A B. Point A is

AveGali [126]

Answer:

<h3>B. 4units</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram attached. The diagram is a similar triangle.

From the diagram, XZ/XY = CA/AB

Given XZ = 2x-2+2x-2 = 4x-4

XY =5x-7

CA = 2x-2

AB= x+1

On substituting this parameters into the formula to get x first

4x-4/5x-7 = 2x-2/x+1

cross multiply

(4x-4)(x+1) = 5x-7(2x-2)

open the parenthesis

4x²+4x-4x-4 = 10x²-10x-14x+14

4x²-4 = 10x²-24x+14

10x²-4x²-24x+14+4 = 0

6x²-24x+18 = 0

x²-4x+3 = 0

x²-3x-x+3 = 0

x(x-3)-1(x-3) =0

(x-3)(x-1) = 0

x = 3 and 1

Next is to get length AX.

Given AX = 2x-2

Substitute x = 3 into the expression

AX = 2(3)-2

AX = 6-2

AX = 4 units

Hence the measure of length AX is 4 units

Please asap correct answer gets brainliest

weeeeeb [17]

Answer: 36 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the figure into 2 shapes: a rectangle and a triangle. Count the squares to find the dimensions of each figure. The rectangle has a width of 4 units and a length of 6 units. The triangle has a base of 6 units and a height of 4 units.

The formula for the area of a rectangle is length * width. The area of the rectangle is 4*6 = 24 square units.

The formula for the area of a triangle is (base * height)/2. The area of the triangle is (4*6)/2 = 24/2 = 12 square units.

Add the areas of both the rectangle and triangle. 24+12 = 36 square units.
