Answer:

3/4 and -3/4

or

0.75 and -0.75

but there is no solution for

10 times the smaller number added to 6 times the larger number to get 3 as result.

the absolute values of x and y must be equal and with opposite signs (due to their sum being 0).

therefore, 10 times the negative value can never be compensated by 6 times the same but positive value. the sum will always be negative and not positive (and therefore not +3).

it only works with 10 times the larger (positive) number plus 6 times the smaller (negative) value.

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 0

10×x + 6×y = 3

=>

x = -y

10×(-y) + 6×y = 3

-10y + 6y = 3

-4y = 3

y = -3/4

=>

x = -y = -(-3/4) = 3/4

control :

10×(3/4) + 6×(-3/4) = 30/4 - 18/4 = 3

12/4 = 3

3 = 3

correct

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

b) 700 mg to 740 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is the sum of all the samples divided by the quantity of the samples, so a mean is a number between the maximum and the minimum sample. In this case, 720 mg must be in the interval, so letter<em> a</em> and<em> e </em>are eliminated.

The mean also represents the proportion of the samples, because the samples intend to be close to the mean. So, if 720 mg is the maximum or the minimum sample weight, it means that there are many samples close to it, and the proportion of the distribution will be small. So, letter <em>c</em> and <em>d</em> can't be the answer.

So, the largest proportion of weights is given in letter b, the interval of weights must be 700 mg to 740 mg.

The price of apples went from $1.99 per lb to $3.19 per lb in four years. Find the rate of change of the price of apples.
Aneli [31]
The answer is A. add $0.30 to $1.99 four times and it comes out to $3.19. by adding .50, the total after four years comes to $3.99. add .80 four times, $5.19. add $1.10 four times and it comes to $6.39. you can also multiply the answer choices by 4 and then add $1.99 to get the same thing.

The area of an equilateral triangle is LaTeX: 108\sqrt[]{3}\:ft^2 108 3 f t 2 . What is the length of one side of the triangle?
Temka [501]
The length of one side is 12√3.

We know that the area of a triangle is given by the formula:

A=1/2(b)(h)

We can substitute the area in:
108√3 = 1/2(b)(h)

Let b be the side of the equilateral triangle.  To find the height, we will use the Pythagorean theorem.  We know that the height bisects the base, so we will call that leg of the right triangle formed (1/2b).  Since the triangle is equilateral, we will call the hypotenuse b as well.  We now have:

(\frac{1}{2}b)^2+h^2=b^2&#10;\\&#10;\\\frac{1}{4}b^2+h^2=b^2&#10;\\&#10;\\\frac{1}{4}b^2+h^2-\frac{1}{4}b^2=b^2-\frac{1}{4}b^2&#10;\\&#10;\\h^2=\frac{3}{4}b^2&#10;\\&#10;\\\sqrt{h^2}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{4}b^2}&#10;\\&#10;\\h=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}b

We will now substitute this in the formula for area we had above:
108√3=(1/2)(b)(√3/2b)
108√3=√3/4b²

Multiply both sides by 4:
(108√3)×4=(√3/4b²)×4
432√3=√3b²

Divide both sides by √3:
432√3/√3 = √3b²/√3
432=b²

Take the square root of both sides:
√432=√b²

Simplifying the radical, we have 12√3.
