Answer:

x=5

y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 3y= 31

-6x - 3y = -36  (multiple  by -3)

 

-x=-5

x=5

2(5)+y=12   or         25 + 3y= 31

10+y=12                  3y=6

y=2                          y=2

Answer:

x = 5, y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll use substitution on this one, which makes me choose one of the equation and solve for x. (5x + 3y = 31 was chosen)

5x + 3y = 31

Subtracct 3y from both sides

5x = -3y + 31

Divide both sides by 5

x = 1/5 (-3y + 31)

Multiply 1/5 by -3y + 31

x = -3/5y + 31/5

Substitute -3/5y + 31/5 for x in the other equation (2x + y = 12)

2 (-3/5y + 31/5) + y = 12

Multiply -3/5y + 31/5 by 2.

-6/5y + 62/5 + y = 12

Add -6/5y to y

-1/5y + 62/5 = 12

Subtract 62/5 from both sides

-1/5y = -2/5

Multiply both sides by -5

y = 2

Now head back to the previous equation, except substitute y for 2.

x = -3/5 * 2 + 31/5

Multiply -3/5 by 2.

x = (-6 + 31)/5

Add -6 and 31

x = 25/5

Divide 25 by 5.

x = 5

Formulate 5 and 2 for x and y in the equation.

5(5) + 3(2) = 31

2(5) + 2 = 12

25 + 6 = 31; true

10 + 2 = 12; true

x is 5 and y is 2.

Since the area of the walkway is not given, it's substitution in the answer is x. You do have the measurements of the pool though. Area=length times width. 36 times 18 is 648. The area of the concrete is x-648 ft, because the pool is not apart of the concrete. The area of the walkway can be expressed by X-648 ft.

If a is an integer, which of the 
sweet [91]
So to work this out we need to find the 4th root of each of those and pick the one that gives an integer.

A: \sqrt[4]{1.6*10^1^1} = 632.455... This is a decimal therefore <em>not</em> an integer.

B: \sqrt[4]{1.6*10^1^2} =1124.682... Again a decimal, therefore <em>not </em>an integer.

C: \sqrt[4]{1.6*10^1^3} =2000 This is a whole number, so it <em>is </em>an integer.

D: \sqrt[4]{1.6*10^1^4} =3556.558... Decimal, therefore <em>not </em>an integer

E: \sqrt[4]{1.6*10^1^5} =6324.555... Again a decimal, <em>not</em> an integer.

The only one that gives an integer when put to the 4th root is C, therefore:

1.6*10^1^3 could be A^4, as the 4th root of it is an integer.

Factorize

(3n + 8) (3n - 8) = 0
3n + 8 = 0 and 3n - 8 = 0

Solve both for n

3n + 8 = 0
3n = -8
n = -8/3


3n - 8 = 0
3n = 8
n = 8/3

Therefore n = -8/3 and n = 8/3
