You want to eliminate one of the terms (x or y) in one of the equations so you can solve for the other variable.  You have to multiply by the opposite number of the coefficient to be able to eliminate the term in the other equation.  If the x coefficient is 2, then you have to multiply the entire other equation by -2.  If the y coefficient is -5, then you have to multiply the entire other equation by 5.

-4x + 9y= 9
x - 3y= -6

STEP 1:
multiply the bottom equation by 4
4(x- 3y)= 4(-6)
4x - 12y= -24

STEP 2:
add the top equation and the equation from step 2

-4x + 9y= 9
4x - 12y= -24
the x term cancels out

-3y= 15
divide both sides by -3

y= -5

STEP 2:
substitute the y value in either original equation to solve for x

x - 3y= -6
x - 3(-5)= -6

x + 15= -6
subtract 15 from both sides

x= -21

ANSWER: x= -21; y= -5

-7x + y= -19
-2x + 3y= -19

STEP 1:
multiply the top equation by -3 to eliminate the y term and to solve for x

-3(-7x + y)= -3(-19)
21x - 3y= 57

STEP 2:
add the bottom equation and the equation from step 2 to solve for x

-2x + 3y= -19
21x - 3y= 57
the y term cancels out

19x= 38
divide both sides by 19

x= 2

STEP 3:
substitute the x value in step 2 to solve for y; you can use either original equation

-7x + y= -19
-7(2) + y= -19

-14 + y= -19
add 14 to both sides

y= -5

ANSWER: x= 2; y=-5

Hope this helps!  :)

If m<BEG = (19x + 3)° and m<EGC = (m<GCB + 4x)°, which of the following statements is true about quadrilateral BEGC? Se
viktelen [127]

Answer:

The sum of all exterior angles of BEGC is equal to 360° ⇒ answer F only

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise some facts about the quadrilateral

- Quadrilateral is a polygon of 4 sides

- The sum of measures of the interior angles of any quadrilateral is 360°

- The sum of measures of the exterior angles of any quadrilateral is 360°

* Lets solve the problem

- DEGC is a quadrilateral

∵ m∠BEG = (19x + 3)°

∵ m∠EGC = (m∠GCB + 4x)°

∵ The sum of the measures of its interior angles is 360°

∴ m∠BEG + m∠EGC + m∠GCB + m∠CBE = 360

∴ (19x + 3) + (m∠GCB + 4x) + m∠GCB + m∠CBE = 360 ⇒ add the like terms

∴ (19x + 4x) + (m∠GCB + m∠GCB) + m∠CBE + 3 = 360 ⇒ -3 from both sides

∴ 23x + 2m∠GCB + m∠CBE = 375

∵ The sum of measures of the exterior angles of any quadrilateral is 360°

∴ The statement in answer F is only true

What are the steps to solve for: 1/5(x+5)=1/4(x-3)+1
andrew11 [14]
Step 1. Simplify \frac{1}{5} (x+5) to \frac{x+5}{5}

\frac{x+5}{5} = \frac{1}{4} (x-3)+1

Step 2. Simplify \frac{x+5}{5} to 1+ \frac{x}{5}

1+ \frac{x}{5} = \frac{1}{4} (x-3)+1

Step 3. Simplify \frac{1}{4} (x-3) to \frac{x-3}{4}

1+ \frac{x}{5} = \frac{x-3}{4} +1

Step 4. Cancel 1 on both sides

\frac{x}{5} = \frac{x-3}{4}

Step 5. Multiply both sides by 20 (the LCM of 5,4)

4x=5(x-3)

Step 6. Expand

4x=5x-15

Step 7. Subtract 5x from both sides

4x-5x=-15

Step 8. Simplify 4x-5x to -x

-x=-15

Step 9. Multiply both sides by -1

x=15

Done! :) Hope this helps! :)

The probability that a single radar station will detect an enemy plane is 0.65. (a) How many such stations are required to be 98
Inga [223]

Answer:

4 stations

Step-by-step explanation:

If we need to be at least 98% certain that an enemy plane flying over will be detected by at least one station, we must ensure that there is at most a 2% chance that no radar stations detect the plane.

The probability that a single radar station does not detect the plane is 0.35.

For n radar stations:

P=0.02=0.35^n\\n=\frac{log(0.02)}{log(0.35)}\\n=3.73

Rounding up to the next whole station, at least 4 stations are needed.
