Answer:

y = -15

x = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4x - 1/2 = 5 (1)

3x + 2/3y = -40 (2)

Multiply (1) by 4

1/4x - 1/2 = 5

1/4x * 4 - 1/2y * 4 = 5 * 4

4/4x - 4/2y = 20

x - 2y = 20 (3)

Multiply (2) by 3

3x + 2/3y = -40 (2)

3x * 3 + 2/3y * 3 = -40 * 3

9x + 6/3y = -120

9x + 2y = -120 (4)

x - 2y = 20 (3)

9x + 2y = -120 (4)

Using elimination method, Add (3) and (4)

9x + x = -120 + 20

10x = -100

x = -100/10

x = -10

Substitute x = -10 into (3)

x - 2y = 20 (3)

-10 - 2y = 20

-2y = 20 + 10

-2y = 30

y = 30/-2

y = -15

y = -15

x = -10

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The function will be zero when the numerator is equal to 0. So, set the numerator equal to 0 and solve:

0 = 4 {x}^{2}  - 36x

I will use the quadratic formula:

\frac{ 36  +  \sqrt{ {36}^{2}  - 4(4)(0)} }{2(4)}  \\  \frac{  36 + 36}{8}  = 9

Therefore, x = 9 is a 0. Let's check with subtracted root now:

\frac{ 36   -    \sqrt{ {36}^{2}  - 4(4)(0)} }{2(4)}  \\  \frac{ 36  -  36}{8}  =  0

It appears 0 is also a root.

Therefore, the answer is D.

The U.S. swim team won 13 gold medals in a recent competition against two other countries.Of the total 60 medals awarded, there
Kitty [74]

The number of silver and bronze medals that France won are 9 silver and bronze medals.

Since there are 60 medals awarded, and there were 20 each of bronze, silver, and gold. This means that there are 20 gold, 20 bronze and 20 silver.

Since U.S. swim team won 13 gold medals and Spain won 5gold medals, then the gold won by France will be:

= 20 - (13 + 5)

= 20 - 18

= 2 gold medals

France won 2 gold medals.

Since France won one-third of all the medals, the number of medals won by France will be:

= 1/3 × 60

= 20 medals

Since France won 2 golds medals, then the number of silver and bronze will be:

= 20 - 2

= 18 silver and bronze medals.

Since France won equal number of silver and bronze medals. This will be:

= 18/2

= 9 silver and bronze medals.
