Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

4x - 5y = 18 → (1)

3x - 2y = 10 → (2)

Multiplying (1) by 3 and (2) by - 4, then adding will eliminate the x- term

12x - 15y = 54 → (3)

- 12x + 8y = - 40 → (4)

Add (3) and (4) term by term to eliminate x, that is

- 7y = 14 ( divide both sides by - 7 )

y = - 2

Substitute y = - 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

Substituting into (1)

4x - 5(- 2) = 18

4x + 10 = 18 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

4x = 8 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 2

solution is (2, - 2 ) → D

What is the measure of the angle formed by the minute hand and the hour hand of a clock when the clock shows 4:35? A. 72.5° B. 9
Kruka [31]
A) Minute Hand:
in 1 hour (= 60 minute) the minute hand travels 360 °
So in each minute, the minute hand travels 360/60 = 6°
And in x minute it will travel x.(6°)

B) Hour Hand:
in 1 hour (= 60 minute) the hour hand travels 360/12 = 30°
So in each minute, the hour hand will travel 30°/60° = 0.5°
And in x minute it will travel x.(0.5°)

ANGLE AT 4:35?

At 4:00, angle = 4. 30 = 120°
After 35 minutes, the minute hand strops at 35.(6°) = 210°, but during this 35 minute, the hour hand traveled 35.(0.5) = 17.5°, on top of its 120°, that makes an angle of 137.5°

So at 4:35 the angle between the hour & minute hand = 210°-137.5° =72.5°
