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

The annual rate of depreciation, x, on a car that was purchased for $9,000 and is worth $4,500 after 5 years can be found using
Zolol [24]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

We know that exponential formula of depreciation

A=P(1-x)^t

where

P is the initial amount

x is the interest rate

A is the amount after t years

we are given

The annual rate of depreciation, x, on a car that was purchased for $9,000

so, P=9000

we can plug value it

A=9000(1-x)^t

we are given

when x=5 , A=4500

so, we can plug it and solve for x

4500=9000(1-x)^5

\frac{9000\left(1-x\right)^5}{9000}=\frac{4500}{9000}

\left(1-x\right)^5=\frac{1}{2}

x=-\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{1}{5}}+1

x=0.12945

so, interest rate is 13%

now, we can plug x

and we get

A=9000(1-0.13)^t

A=9000(87)^t

Classify the following angles.<br> 13°<br> 180°
Dafna1 [17]

Answer: The acute angle is the small angle which is less than 90°. If you choose the larger angle you. will have a Reflex Angle instead: The smaller angle is an Acute Angle, but the larger angle is a Reflex Angle.

Step-by-step explanation: An angle that is exactly 90 degrees is called a right angle. Angles greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees are called obtuse angles. An angle that is exactly 180 degrees is called a straight angle. butt

Lola measures three buttons for a shirt she’s making. One button is 1/8, 3/8 and 1/4 inch. The button hole is 2/6 of an inch. Wh
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

That's the only one bigger than 2/6, any smaller will fall out as it's a button. You'd twist it sort of in half to get it in the hole, therefore, 3/8 is the only button that will fit.

I'm not sure if this is correct but this is how I'd go about it :)
