Answer:

x = 12

y = -29

Step-by-step explanation:

Our given equations: x + y = -17 and x - y = 41

Solve for x and substitute.

x = -17 - y

(-17 - y) - y = 41

-17 - 2y = 41

2y = -58

y = -29

Solve for x using y

x + (-29) = -17

x = 12

The top and bottom ends of a windshield wiper blade are R = 24 in. and r = 14 in., respectively, from the pivot point. While in

Orlov [11]

Answer:

Area swept by the blade = 448 $in^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The arc the wiper wipes is for 135 degrees angle.

So, find area of sector with radius 24 inches. And the find area of arc with r=14 inches.

Then subtract the area of sector with 14 inches from area of sector with radius as 24 inches.

So, area of sector with r=24 in = $\frac{135}{360} *\pi *24^{2}$

Simplify it,

=216 $\pi$

Now, let's find area of sector with radius 14 inches

Area of sector with r=14 in = $\frac{135}{360} *\pi *14^{2}$

Simplify it

=73.5 $\pi$

So, area swept by the blade = 216 $\pi$ -73.5 $\pi$

Simplify it and use pi as 3.14.....

Area of swept =678.584 - 230.907

=447.6769

Round to nearest whole number

So, area swept by the blade = 448 $in^{2}$

dalvyx [7]

According to the 72 rule
72/rate=time
72÷9.6=7.5 years

Another way to solve by using the main equation
2300=1150(1+0.096/4)^4t
Solve for t
t=((log(2,300÷1,150)÷log(1+(0.096÷4))÷4))=7.31years

Hope it helps :-)
