Answer:

x = -5 and y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two equations :

3x − 2y = −21 ....(1)

2x + 5y = 5 ......(2)

Multiply equation (1) by 2 and equation (2) by 3.

6x - 4y = -42 ...(3)

6x + 15y = 15 ....(4)

Subtract equation (4) from (3) :

6x - 4y - (6x + 15y) = -42 -15

-4y -15y = -57

-19y = -57

y = 3

Put y = 3 in equation (2) :

2x + 5(3) = 5

2x = 5-15

2x = -10

x = -5

So, the value of x is (-5) and y = 3.

Find the roots of the parabola given by the following equation 2x^2+5X-9=2x

natta225 [31]

Answer:

$x=-3\:or\:x=\frac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parabola has equation

$2x^2+5x-9=2x$

We rewrite in standard form to obtain:

$2x^2+5x-2x-9=0$

$2x^2+3x-9=0$

Split the middle terms to get:

$2x^2+6x-3x-9=0$

Factor by grouping:

$2x(x+3)-3(x+3)=0$

$(x+3)(2x-3)=0$

$x=-3\:or\:x=\frac{3}{2}$

Quan is inviting 3 friends to a party. Each friend wants 8 cookies and each box has 6 cookies.How many boxes should Quan get?

Anastasy [175]

First, figure out how many total cookies you need. You do this by multiplying the number of friends times the number of cookies each friend will get.

8 x 3 = 24

Then, you take the number of cookies and divide it by the number in each box to find the number of boxes you need.

24/6 = 4

Quan should get 4 boxes.
