Answer:

x = 6, y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 5y = 26

- x + 7y = 22

_________

0 + 12y = 48

12y = 48

y = 48 / 12

y = 4

Substitute y = 4 in eq. x + 5y = 26,

x + 5 ( 4 ) = 26

x + 20 = 26

x = 26 - 20

x = 6

Answer:

$x=6\\y=4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Elimination method:

$x+5y=26$

$-x+7y=22$

Add these equations to eliminate x:

$12y=48$

Then solve $12y=48$ for y:

$12y=48$

$y=48/12$

$y=4$

Write down an original equation:

$x+5y=26$

Substitute 4 for y in $x+5y=26$ :

$x+5(4)=26$

$x+20=26$

$x=26-20$

$x=6$

{ $x=6$ and $y=4$ } ⇒ $(6,4)$

Find an equation for those points P such that the distance from P to A(0, 1, 2) is equal to the distance from P to B(6, 4, 2). W

suter [353]

Answer: The required equation for points P is $4x+2y=17.$

Step-by-step explanation: We are give two points A(0, 1, 2) and B(6, 4, 2).

To find the equation for points P such that the distance of P from both A and B are equal.

We know that the distance between two points R(a, b, c) and S(d, e, f) is given by

$RS=\sqrt{(d-a)^2+(e-b)^2+(f-c)^2}.$

Let the point P be represented by (x, y, z).

According to the given information, we have

$PA=PB\\\\\Rightarrow \sqrt{(x-0)^2+(y-1)^2+(z-2)^2}=\sqrt{(x-6)^2+(y-4)^2+(z-2)^2}\\\\\Rightarrow x^2+y^2-2y+1+z^2-4z+4=x^2-12x+36+y^2-8y+16+z^2-4z+4~~~~~~~[\textup{Squaring both sides}]\\\\\Rightarrow -2y+1=-12x-8y+52\\\\\Rightarrow 12x+6y=51\\\\\Rightarrow 4x+2y=17.$

Thus, the required equation for points P is $4x+2y=17.$

The length of one side of a triangular lot is 6 m less than 3 times the length of the second side. The third side is 8 m longer

Tanya [424]

second side = x

first side = 3x - 6

third side = (3x - 6) + 8

The perimeter = 80m and is equal x + (3x - 6) + [(3x - 6) + 8]

x + 3x - 6 + 3x - 6 + 8 = 80

7x - 4 = 80 |+4

7x = 84 |:7

x = 12 m

3x - 6 = 3(12) - 6 = 30 m

(3x - 6) + 8 = 3x + 2 = 3(12) + 2 = 38 m

Answer: 12m, 30m, 38m

On a map, two locations are 0.75 centimeter apart. Their actual distance is 15 kilometers apart.

egoroff_w [7]

If you are working out the number of KM per CM them you divide the KM by the CM:
15/0.75 = 20

This means that it is 20KM per every 1CM

Hope this helps! :)

Consider the overall effects on Floral Scent Cleaning Service from selling and performing services on account for $ 8 comma 780

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Net income: $4,260.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that consider the overall effects on Floral Scent Cleaning Service from selling and performing services on account for $ 8,780 and paying expenses totaling $ 4,520.

$\text{Net income}=\text{Total revenues}-\text{Total expenses}$

$\text{Net income}=\$8,780-\$4,520$

$\text{Net income}=\$4,260$

Since the selling and performing services on account are greater than total expenses, therefore, Floral Scent Cleaning Service's net income is $4,260.
