Solve: simultaneous equations 3x + 4y = 27 x + 4y = 17

Mathematics
1 answer:
Leni [432]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x = 5, y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Elimination method: (I will be eliminating 4y) </u>

3x + 4y = 27 --- Equation 1

x + 4y = 17 --- Equation 2

Equation 1-2: 3x + 4y - x - 4y = 27 - 17

2x = 10

x = 10 ÷ 2

x = 5

Substitute x = 5 into Equation 2:

x + 4y = 17

4y + 5 = 17

4y = 17 - 5

    = 12

y = 12 ÷ 4

y = 3

A stack of nickels has a math of 45 grams. there are 9 nickels in the stack. what is the mass of 1 nickel
ZanzabumX [31]
1 stack of nickels is S=45gm; given that there are 9 nickels on each stack you can divide the mass of the stack(45) by the number of nickels in a stack(9) to find the mass of 1 single nickel 

\frac{45gm}{9}=5gm 

<u>5gm = 1 nickel</u>

A rectangular garden has length twice as great as its width. A second rectangular garden has the same width as the first garden
stiks02 [169]
Use the information to write the dimensions of each rectangle in terms of w, the width of the 1st one.

1st rectangle;
l = 2w
w = 2

2nd rectangle:
w = w 
l = 2w + 4

If the area of the 2nd rectangle is 70 square meters, you will use the area formula to write an equation that you will solve using the factoring.

A = lw
70 = w(2w + 4)
70 = 2w^2 + 4w
0 = 2w^2 + 4w -70
0 = 2 (w^2 +2w - 35)
0 = 2 (w + 7) (w - 5)

To get zero, the width would need to be -7 or 5.  Because it is a distance, it has to be 5 meters.

The width of both rectangles is 5 meters.

Can you bisect an angle using only a compass and a straight edge​
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

bisect = dividing it into two equal parts

if you were to line the angle up with the north (or really any line of the compass), you could find the center (you could find where two lines [the same distance from north] are on equal sides of north, or you could just find the center of the angle from sight)

and with the straight edge, you could easily divide the angle into two equal halves

'find the equation of the line shown':
insens350 [35]

Answer:

y = x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept is (0, 6).  This is where the line crosses the y-axis.

The slope is 4/4, or 1:  m = 1

The equation of the line is therefore y = x + 6
