Answer: 7.69 meters long

Step-by-step explanation:

Since henry is cutting away rope, he is subtracting.

The rope is 9 meters long for the whole but he subtracts 1.3 meters from the 9 meters.

So, 9 - 1.31 = 7.69

Solve the system of linear equations.

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

dependent system
x = 2 -a
y = 1 +a
z = a

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve this by eliminating z, then we'll go from there.

Add 6 times the second equation to the first.

(3x -3y +6z) +6(x +2y -z) = (3) +6(4)

9x +9y = 27 . . . simplify

x + y = 3 . . . . . . divide by 9 [eq4]

Add 13 times the second equation to the third.

(5x -8y +13z) +13(x +2y -z) = (2) +13(4)

18x +18y = 54

x + y = 3 . . . . . . divide by 18 [eq5]

Equations [eq4] and [eq5] are identical. This tells us the system is dependent, and has an infinite number of solutions. We can find them in terms of z:

y = 3 -x . . . . solve eq5 for y

x +2(3 -x) -z = 4 . . . . substitute into the second equation

-x +6 -z = 4

x = 2 - z . . . . . . add x-4

y = 3 -(2 -z)

y = z +1

So far, we have written the solutions in terms of z. If we use the parameter "a", we can write the solutions as ...

x = 2 -a

y = 1 +a

z = a

<em>Check</em>

First equation:

3(2-a) -3(a+1) +6a = 3

6 -3a -3a -3 +6a = 3 . . . true

Second equation:

(2-a) +2(a+1) -a = 4

2 -a +2a +2 -a = 4 . . . true

Third equation:

5(2-a) -8(a+1) +13a = 2

10 -5a -8a -8 +13a = 2 . . . true

Our solution checks algebraically.

Answer:

His total income is of $1,371.2.

Step-by-step explanation:

His salary is of $500, plus 8% of his sales.

In this question:

Sales of $10,890. So his salary is given by:

$S = 500 + 0.08*10890 = 500 + 871.2 = 1371.2$

His total income is of $1,371.2.

Which equation shows a line with a slope of 3 that passes through the point ((1,-2)

qaws [65]

Answer:

y = 3x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope m = 3

Using (1,-2)

Slope-intercept: y = mx + b

-2 = 3(1) + b

-2 = 3 + b

b = -5

then y = 3x - 5
