Answer:

The smallest number is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Using simultaneous equation;

x+y = 18.....(1)

4x-y = 17.....(2)

from equation (1)..

x+y = 18

y = 18-x...(3)

substitute y into equation (2)

4x-y = 17

4x-(18-x) = 17

4x-18+x = 17

4x+x = 17+18

5x = 35

x = 35÷5

x = 7

substitute x into equation (3)

y = 18-x

y = 18-7

y = 11

Therefore; x=7

y=11

11+7=18

(4×7)-11=17

the smallest number is 7

angles BAC and BCA are equal = 69

69 +69 = 138

angles in a triangle =180

180-138 = 42

5x + 2 = 42

5x = 40

x = 8

Suppose that a local trout population exhibits exponential growth by doubling every 4 years. Considering that the initial popula
antoniya [11.8K]
Okay, so this is just a basic multiplication problem. first, we need to divide to figure out how much the trout population grows after 1 year. If it doubles in 4 years, then it will rise by a quarter each single year. So to put that in terms of fractions, then for every year, the equation would be 250x1/4. So then we do the equation, coming up with 62.5. This means that the population rises roughly 63 fish a year. So after 1 year, you will have roughly 313 fish. (312.5 to be exact). Then to get that by ten years, we can just multiply the number that we got for one year by ten. 62.5x10=625. So then we add the 250 original trout, and 250+625=875. So after 10 years, there will be 875 trout.

Solving systems of linear inequalities ​
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

To solve a system of of linear inequalities, you could do the elimination method or substitution method.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • For elimination method, you can add the same value to each side of an equation. So if you have a system: x – 6 = −6 and x + y = 8, you can add x + y to the left side of the first equation and add 8 to the right side of the equation.

For substitution method, you have to:

Step 1 : First, solve one linear equation for y in terms of x.

Step 2 : Then substitute that expression for y in the other linear equation.

Step 3 : Solve this, and you have the x -coordinate of the intersection.

Step 4 : Then plug in x to either equation to find the corresponding y -coordinate.
