X = 4y
3x - y = 70
substitute the x in the second equation with the other half of the first equation.
3(4y) - y = 70
12y - y = 70
11y = 70
y = 6.36 repeating, or 6 4/11
now use this to solve first equation
x = 4 (6 4/11)
x = 25.45 repeating
done
Answer:
5/6 books
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that Mark read 2 1/2 books last week. This week, he read a bit more with 3 1/3 books.
To find how many more books he read, we must subtract 2 1/2 from 3 1/3:
3 1/3 - 2 1/2
Let's convert these into improper fractions first:
3 1/3 = (3 * 3 + 1) / 3 = 10/3
2 1/2 = (2 * 2 + 1) / 2 = 5/2
Now, we have:
10/3 - 5/2
In order to subtract these, we must find a common denominator. For 2 and 3, the LCM is 6, so we can use that as our common denominator:
10/3 * 2/2 = 20/6
5/2 * 3/3 = 15/6
Finally, we have:
20/6 - 15/6 = (20 - 15) / 6 = 5/6 books

The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
Calvin school is 2.3 miles directly south of his house. After school, he takes a bus 1.8 miles west of his school to the sport complex.
a) What is the length of a straight line between calvins house and the sports complex? Round to the nearest tenth.
b) Calvin takes piano lessons at a community music school located 3.7 miles directly north of the sports complex. What is the length of a straight line between Calvin's house and the music school? Round to the nearest tenth.
Solution:
a) Calvin school, his house and the sport complex form a right angled triangle. The hypotenuse of the right angled triangle is the length of the line between Calvin's house and the sport complex. Let the length of the line between Calvin's house and the sport complex be x.
Using Pythagoras law for right angled triangle, we get that:
x² = 2.3² + 1.8²
x² = 8.53
x = √8.53
x = 2.9 miles to the nearest tenth
b) This forms a right angled triangle with the hypotenuse = length of a straight line between Calvin's house and the music school. one side of the triangle = 1.8 miles and the other side = 3.7 - 2.3 = 1.4 miles.
Let x = length of a straight line between Calvin's house and the music school. Hence:
x² = 1.8² + 1.4²
x² = 5.2
x = √5.2
x = 2.3 miles to the nearest tenth
Six less than five times a number is at least 29.
Answer: D
Step-by-step explanation:
The given functions are
Now these are exponential curves and the bases for the functions are 3.5 & 1.5
Also the graph of g(x) is between f(x) & h(x)
Hence the value of base called the scale factor must be between 3.5 & 1.5.
4 & 5 are more than 3.5
0.9 is smaller than 1.5
But π = 3.14 lies between 3.5 & 1.5.
Hence the only option which can represent the graph of g(x) is
Option D) is the right answer
