Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Make equations, l = w+5 and 2l + 2w = 150

Substitute w+5 into 2l + 2w = 150

Simplify to get 4w + 10 = 150

Subtract 10 from both sides to get 4w = 140

Divide both sides by 4 and you get 35 as width

Answer:

The width of the field is 35 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the perimeter of a rectangle is given by:

$\displaystyle P = 2(w+\ell)$

Where w is the width and l is the length of the rectangle.

We know that the perimeter is 150 meters. Thus:

$150=2(w+\ell)$

Divide both sides by two:

$75=w+\ell$

We are given that the length is five meters longer than the width. So:

$\ell = w+5$

Substitute:

$75=w+(w+5)$

Combine like terms:

$75=2w+5$

Subtract five from both sides:

$70=2w$

And divide both sides by two. Hence:

$w=35$

Thus, the width of the rectangular field is 35 meters.

Solve this system of equations using elimination with multiplication

romanna [79]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 4y = -11

x - 2y = -5

Compare the coefficients of the variables.

The coefficients of the x terms, 3 and 1, are multiples of each other.

The coefficients of the y terms, -4 and -2, are also multiples of each other.

That makes it easy to eliminate either variable.

I'll eliminate the y variables. Multiply the second equation by -2, then add it to the first equation:

₋-2x + 4y = 10

3x - 4y = -11

--------------------

x + 0y = -1 , so x = -1.

Substitute -1 for x in either equation and solve for y:

3(-1) - 4y = -11

y = 2

(x,y) = (-1, 2)

Jezebel is planning a party at the skating rink. The cost for each person attending is $3.50 for skate rental and $5.00 for food

SashulF [63]

Answer:

The inequality that could be used is 8.50p≤300 and the greatest number of people that can attend is 35.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information provided, you can write an inequality where total cost for people attending at the party should be less than or equal to $300:

3.50p+5.00p≤300

8.50p≤300

Now, you can solve for p:

p≤300/8.50

p≤35

According to this, the answer is that the inequality that could be used is 8.50p≤300 and the greatest number of people that can attend is 35.

galben [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Separate into two parts

$\frac{4xy^{3} }{2xy^{2} } + \frac{8x^{2} {y}^{5} }{2x {y}^{2} }$

Simplify:

This is for the first fraction

$\frac{4x {y}^{3} }{2x {y}^{2} } = (4 \div 2)(x \div x)( {y}^{3} \div {y}^{2} )$

$2(1)( {y}^{3 - 2} )$

$2{y}$

Now for the second fraction:

$\frac{8 {x}^{2} {y}^{3} }{2x {y}^{2} } = ( 8 \div 2)( {x}^{2} \div x)( {y}^{5} \div {y}^{2} )$

$4( {x}^{2 - 1} )( {y}^{5 - 2} )$

$4x {y}^{3}$

Add both parts together

$2y + 4x {y}^{3}$

To turn this into the said formula, that would become:

$2 {x}^{0} {y}^{1} + 4 {x}^{1} {y}^{3}$

Where:

a=0

b=1

c=1

d=3

Any value with an exponent 0 except zero will be equal to 1

Can someone explain this to me? Please solve step by step. I don't know how to do this.

ololo11 [35]

Given,

y = -3x+1 (EQ1)
y = 2x-4 (EQ2)

Equate EQ1 and EQ2

EQ1 = EQ2
-3x+1 = 2x-4
-3x-2x = -4-1
x = 1

y = -3x+1
y = -3(1)+1
y = -3+1
y = -2
