384 pages (0.75) = 288 pages
Add this to the original amount of pages.
384 + 288 = 672 total pages.
That's not a linear system, but you have an awesome school system for giving you this problem.

Multiply by 6xy to clear the fractions.

That's a second degree equation, also known as a conic. That one happens to be a hyperbola.


Let's clear the fractions from the second equation, multiplying out common denominator xy:


We are being asked to find the meet of two hyperbolas, so we expect two answers, a quadratic equation.
Substituting,





We have to rule out x=0 because it's in the denominator.


Answer: (44/19, 33/20)
The pyramid is shown in the diagram below.
The pyramid is built from four congruent triangles and one square as the base
We have the side of the square, so the area is = 10×10 = 100
We need the height of the triangle to work out its area. We can find out by using the height of the pyramid and half of the length of the side of the square.
Using the Pythagoras rule
Height of triangle =

Area of one triangle = 1/2×10×12=60
Surface area of the pyramid = 100 + (4×60) = 340 square inches
Answer: Choice B

======================================================
Explanation:
The two rules we use are


When applying the first rule to the expression your teacher gave you, we can say that:

Then applying the second rule lets us say

Therefore,

-------------
In short, we just multiplied each exponent inside by the outer exponent 1/2.
So that explains why the exponents go from {1/4,16} to {1/8,8} for x and y in that exact order.
Answer:
96
Step-by-step explanation:
commom difference = d
a₆ + a₇ = 16
a₅ + a₈ = (a₆ - d) + (a₇ + d) = a₆ + a₇ = 16
a₄ + a₉ = (a₆ - 2d) + (a₇ + 2d) = a₆ + a₇ = 16
Similarly,
a₃ + a₁₀ = 16, a₂ + a₁₁ = 16, a₁ + a₁₂ = 16
so
a₁ + a₂ + ... + a₁₁ + a₁₂ = 6 x 16 = 96
