<h3><u>The value of x, the first number, is equal to 3.</u></h3><h3><u>The value of y, the second number, is equal to 7.</u></h3>
x + 3y = 24
5x + 3y = 36
We can subtract both equations from each-other to cancel out a variable.
After doing so, we're left with:
-4x = -12
Multiply each term by -1
4x = 12
Divide both sides by 4.
x = 3
Now that we have a value for x, we can solve for y.
Plug this value into the first equation.
3 + 3y = 24
Subtract 3 from both sides.
3y = 21
Divide both sides by 3.
y = 7
Answer:
a) 16.25 centimeters
b) 6.8 centimeters
Step-by-step explanation:
We can set up a proportion for both of these problems.
a) Look at the longest side of each triangle. We can set up a fraction: 7.2/18. We can also set up a fraction for XZ and PR:
6.5/x
x represents the length you're trying to find.
Since the triangles are similar, we have an equation:
7.2/18=6.5/x
Cross multiply
16.25
XZ is 16.25 centimeters long.
b)
We can do same thing:
7.2/18=x/17
Cross multiply
6.8
QR is 6.8 centimeters long.
Hope this helps!
<h2>
Option C is the correct answer.</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Diameter, D = 42 feet
Circumference = πD = π x 42 = 131.95 feet
Number of rotations per minute = 3
Total time = 5 minutes
Total rotations = 5 x 3 = 15
Distance traveled per rotation = 131.95 feet
Distance traveled in 15 rotations = 15 x 131.95 = 1978 feet
Option C is the correct answer.
Answer:
c = 7
d = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that in the first expression, x^c is inside a square root, and only perfect squares can be extracted from it. On the simplified form shown on the right hand side, we have x^3 outside the root and a single "x" left inside. In order for such to happen (x^3 get outside the root) there must have been an x^6 inside the square root. This together with the sole "x" that was left in the root, totals seven factors of x that should have been originally inside the square root:
x^6 * x = x^7 therefore c was a "7"
In the second expression we have a CUBIC root, so only perfect cubes can get extracted from it. Since there is one factor "x" shown in the simplified form (right hand side of the equal sign), that means that it must have been an x^3 (perfect cube) apart from the x^2 that was left inside the root. This makes the original power of x to be a 3 + 2 = 5.
Therefore d = 5
