Use elimination to find both values.
Subtract the second equation from the first equation
x + 15y = 40
- x + 10y = 30
————————
5y = 10
y = 2

Plug in the value for y into one of the equations. I’m going to put it in the second equation.
x + 10(2) = 30
x + 20 = 30
x = 10

x = 10
y = 2

Melinda and Marcus are saving money to purchase a present for a friend. Each friend starts with an amount and also saves a speci
Goshia [24]
Let's find the rates at which Melinda and Marcus are saving money and compare them. 
Based on the table, we can see that Melinda originally had $75. Then she got $135 in 5 weeks.  So the rate of saving money is (135–75)/5 = $12 per week.
This rate is unchanged for the next weeks. As we can see, she got $195 in the next 5 weeks. So she saved $60 more those 5 weeks, or the rate is $60/5 = $12 per week again. 

So Melinda saved $12 per week.
As for Marcus, the equation tells us that the rate of saving money is $14 which is the coefficient in front of x.

Hence, t<span>he rate at which Melinda is adding to her savings each week is 2$
less than the rate at which Marcus is adding to his savings each week.</span>

Mr. Webb gave his waiter a $8.60 tip on a $50 bill. What percent did he give the waiter?
Dominik [7]
<u>8.60</u> =  <u>  X  </u>
 50       100

"Percent" means "out of one hundred" (Latin).
Multiply the top by two, since 100 is twice 50, and the fractions will be equal.
The answer is 17.2%.

85-15=70

Therefore the range is 70

A cylinder and a cone have the same volume. The cylinder has radius x and height y. The cone has radius 1/3x. Find the height of
Temka [501]

Great question! I had this question in Geometry on Edmentum.

Answer: Height of cone = 3y

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the cylinder and the cone have the same volume. The cylinder has radius x and height y. We will make use of the formulas:

Volume of cylinder = πr²h

Volume of cone = 1/3πr²h

Since the cone has radius 1/3x, we will have to make its height 3 times of y (the height of the cylinder) to make both the cylinder and the cone have the same volume.

So, the height of the cone is equal to 3y.

Hope this helps, and have a wonderful day! :D
