Answer:

Y is the appropriate variable and the most easiest and convenient to eliminate

name 2x + y = 7 as equation i

and 3/2 x - y = 7/2 as equation ii

then add equation i and ii together

(3/2 + 2) x + y - y = (7 + 7/2)

(7/2) x = (21/2)

x = 3

then put in x = 3 in equation i

4 + y = 7

x = 7 - 4

x = 3

Therefore x = 3 and y = 3

We have a right triangle that has am 8 meter and 21 meter leg .Find the hypotenuse
Serjik [45]

Answer:

hypotenuse is 22.47 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of both legs of a right angle triangle are 8m and 21 m

We need to find the hypotenuse

To find hypotenuse we use Pythagorean theorem

Hypotenuse is AC  and other two legs are AB  and BC

AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2

Hypotenuse ^2 = 8^2 + 21^2

hypotenuse = \sqrt{8^2 + 21^2}

= \sqrt{64 + 441}

= \sqrt{505}

= 22.47

So the length of the hypotenuse is 22.47 m

babymother [125]

Answer: price of the watch before the discount is £23.5825

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the original price of the watch.

Jason went shopping he bought a watch and a pair of trainers for a total price of £53.55. This price includes 15% loyalty discount. The value of the discount is

15/100 × 53.55 = 8.0325

This means that the original cost of both items is

53.55 + 8.0325 = 61.5825

Before the discounts, the trainers were priced at £38. Therefore,

38 + x = 61.5825

x = 61.5825 - 38

x = 23.5825

to communication companies offer calling plans with company X it cost $0.35 to connect and then $0.05 for each minute with compa
Mama L [17]

Answer:

X Company charges (0.2+0.01n)\times 10^2 \ cents more than Company Y

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of X company = \$ 0.35+(\$0.05\times 1 \ minute)

Cost of Y Company =\$ 0.15+(\$0.04\times 1 \ minute)

for n minutes

Cost of X company for n minutes = \$ 0.35+(\$0.05\times n \ minute)

Cost of Y Company for n minutes =\$ 0.15+(\$0.04\times n \ minute)

Difference for n minutes we get by Subtracting Cost of Y Company for n minutes by Cost of X company for n minutes

Difference for n minutes = (\$ 0.2+\$ 0.01n)=(0.2+0.01n)\times 10^2 \ cents

X Company charges (0.2+0.01n)\times 10^2 \ cents more than Company Y

Write an expression for the model. Find the sum. options: a) 2 + (–3); 1 b) –3 + 2; 5 c) 2 + 3; 5 d) 2 + (–3); –1
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

c) 2 + 3 = 5                   TRUE

d) 2 + (–3) = -1              True

Step-by-step explanation:

When adding integers (positive and negative whole numbers), there are three cases:

  • Positive and positive increases and sum is positive. Ex. 4 + 6 = 10
  • Positive and negative where you subtract and take the sign of the larger number. Ex. 3 + -8 = -5 or -3 + 8 = 5
  • Negative and negative decrease and the sum if negative. Ex. -4 + -6 = -10.

Use these rules to simplify each expression.

a) 2 + (–3) = -1 not 1     FALSE

b) –3 + 2 = -1 not 5      FALSE

c) 2 + 3 = 5                   TRUE

d) 2 + (–3) = -1              True
