Solve the system of equations -7x - 6y = 4 x= -3y + 8

1 answer:

7 0

You can use the substitution method for this problem
Since -3y+8=x you can
Use the equation -7(-3y+8) -6y=4
You then distribute and solve
21y-56-6y=4
15y=60
Y=4
You then plug y into one of the original equations
X=-12+8
X=-4
(-4,4)

For the first 30 km, the bicyclist rode with a speed of v km/hour. For the remaining 17 km he rode with a speed which was 2 km/h

damaskus [11]

Answer:

t= 2.52 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that for first 30 km, the speed of bicyclist is v km/hour

time taken to cover first 30 km is given by

$t_{1} =\frac{30}{v}$ ( $time=\frac{distance}{speed}$ )

for next 17 km the speed of bicyclist is 2 km/hour greater than his original speed

so the speed to cover next 17 km = v+2

time taken to cover next 17 km is given by

$t_{2} =\frac{17}{v+2}$

now total time t spent by the bicyclist to cover entire trip is given by

$t=t_{1} +t_{2}$

$t=\frac{30}{v} +\frac{17}{v+2}$

now if v=18 , we have

$t=\frac{30}{18} +\frac{17}{20}$

now to add fractions we make the denominator same

Hence we will find the LCM of 18 and 20

LCM of 18 and 20 = 180

now we need to make both the denominator equal to 180

$t=\frac{30(10)}{18(10)} +\frac{17(9)}{20(9)}$ $t=\frac{300}{180} +\frac{153}{180} =\frac{300+153}{180}$

$t=\frac{453}{180} =2.52$ hours (approx)

Together teammates pedro and ricky got 2685 base hits last season. Pedro had 277 more than ricky. How many hits did each player

Ksju [112]

Let x be the number of base hits Ricky got. With this representation, the number of base hits Pedro got is x + 277. The sum of their number of hits is equal to 2685. The equation that best represent the scenario is,
x + x + 277 = 2685
The value of x is 1204. Therefore, Ricky got 1204 and Pedro got 1481.

Answer:

32%

The probability according to these results is 32% because 25 people ordered a cold drink. 8 of those were smalls. 8 divided by 25 is 0.32 which is the percentage of a 100% chance aka 32%
