Solve the system using elimination.

KIM [24]3 years ago

We can't eliminate as is so we have to change something up there in the equations to get either the x values the same number but opposite signs, or the y values the same number but opposite signs.  I chose to change the y values to the same number but different signs. In the first equation y is -3y and in the second one, y is -8y. The LCM of both of those numbers is 24, so we will multiply the first equation by an 8 (8*3=24) and the second equation by 3 (3*8=24) but since they are both negative right now, one of those multiplications has to involve a negative because - * - = +. Set it up like this:
8(-10x - 3y = -18)
-3(-7x - 8y = 11)
Multiply both of those all the way through to get new equations:
-80x - 24y = -144
 21x  +24y = -33
Now the y's cancel each other out leaving only the x's:
-59x = -177 and x = 3.  Now plug that 3 into either one of the original equations to find the y value.  Either equation will work; you'll get the same answer using either one. Promise. -7(3) - 8y = 11 gives a y value of -4.  so your solution is (3, -4) or B above.

Answer:(3,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations are

-10x-3y=-18---------------1

-7x-8y=11-------------------2

From 1

18-3y=10x

x=1.8-0.3y

substitute the value of x in equation 2

-7\left ( 1.8-0.3y\right )-8y=11

-5.9y=23.6

y=-4

thus x=1.8+1.2

x=3

Thus (x,y)=(3,-4)

Use the function below to find F(3)
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Theanswer is 4/27.

Step-by-step explanation:

given that, F(x) = 4×(1/3)^x

now , F(3)= 4×(1/3)^3 ( putting value of x)

or, F(3) = 4×(1/27)

therefore, F(3)= 4/27... ans

Roberta is lining up nine different coloured blocks. There are five green blocks, two white blocks and two orange blocks. In how
Amanda [17]
If the blocks were 9 different colors, then there would be

     9 !(factorial) = 362,880 different ways to line them up.

But for each different line-up, there are 5! =120 ways to arrange
the green blocks and you can't tell these apart, 2!= 2 ways to arrange
the white blocks and you can't tell these apart, and 2!=2 ways to arrange
the orange blocks and you can't tell these apart.

So the number of distinct, recognizable ways to arrange all 9 blocks
is

         (9!) / (5! · 2! · 2!)  =  (362,880) / (120 · 2 · 2)  =  756 ways.
