Answer:
x = 2, y =7
Step-by-step explanation:
4x - 2y = -6
-6x + 2y = 2
Add the equations together
4x - 2y = -6
-6x + 2y = 2
-----------------------
-2x = -4
Divide each side by -2
-2x/-2 = -4/-2
x = 2
now find y
-6x+2y =2
-6(2) +2y =2
-12+2y =2
Add 12 to each side
-12+12+2y = 2+12
2y =14
Divide by 2
2y/2 =14/2
y =7
Answer:
(a) 1.5 inches
(b) 2.5 inches
(c) 5 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
speed of first turtle = 4 1/2 inches per minute = 9/2 inches per minute
speed of the second turtle = 5inches per minute
distance = speed x time
(a) Distance traveled by first turtle in 3 minutes
s = 9/2 x 3 = 13.5 inches
distance traveled by second turtle in 3 minutes
s' = 5 x 3 = 15 inches
So, the gap is
s'- s = 15 - 13.5 = 1.5 inches
(b) Distance traveled by first turtle in 5 minutes
s = 9/2 x 5 = 22.5 inches
distance traveled by second turtle in 5 minutes
s' = 5 x 5 = 25 inches
So, the gap is
s'- s = 25 - 22.5 = 2.5 inches
(c) Distance traveled by first turtle in 10 minutes
s = 9/2 x 10 = 45 inches
distance traveled by second turtle in 10 minutes
s' = 5 x 10 = 50 inches
So, the gap is
s'- s = 50 - 45 = 5 inches
Answer:
8/50
5/50
10/50
38/50
45/50
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
3x3=9
so therefore you need to multiply 2 by 3=6
9+6=15
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming the fractions are being multiplied
Factorise the denominators of both fractions
x² - 3x - 10 = (x - 5)(x + 2)
x² + x - 12 = (x + 4)(x - 3)
The product can now be expressed as
× 
Cancel (x - 5) and (x + 2) on the numerators/ denominators, leaving
=
