The answer would be D. Infinite
You can use properties to solve equations with variables on both side by simplifying get the variable on one side. solve using inverse operations then check to see if it fits in right .
Answer:
(x,y,z)=( -2, -1 ,5)
Step-by-step explanation:
9x+2y-27z=-155 (1)
-11x-y+37z=208 (2)
19x+6y-52z=-304 (3)
(1) *3 ;(2) *6 ;(3)*1, you have
27x+6y-81z=-465 (1)
-66x-6y+222z=1248 (2)
19z+6y-52z=-304 (3)
(1) +(2), you have
-39x+141z= 783 (4)
(4) /3, you have
-13x +47z=261 (4)
(2) +(3), you have
-47x+170z=944 (5)
From ( 4) and (5), you have equations
-13x +47z=261 (4)
-47x+170z=944 (5)
(4)*(-47); (5)*13, you have
611x-2209z=-12,267 (4)
-611x+2210z=12,272 (5)
(4)+(5), you have
z=5
Replace z=5 in (4), you have
611x- 2209*5=-12,267
611x- 11,045 =-12,267
611x=-1222
x= -2
Replace x=-2, z=5 in (1) , you have
9*(-2) +2y -27*5=-155
-18+2y-135=-155
-18+2y=-20
2y=-2
y=-1
Result (x,y,z)=( -2, -1 ,5)
Answer: b = 17
Step-by-step explanation: The figure shows a triangle which upon closer observation is actually two triangles placed one inside the other. We have triangle QTR (the larger one) and triangle PTS (the smaller one).
The line PS is parallel to line QR, so in effect what we have here are two similar triangles. The ratios of similarity can be derived as
Line QT/line TR = line PT/line TS OR
Line QT/line QR = line PT/line PS.
With these ratios in mind we can now write the following expressions from the similar triangles;
QT = 2b + (2b - 17) and
TR = 16 + 8
TR = 24
Hence,
2b/16 = 2b + (2b - 17)/24
(That is, PT/TS = QT/TR)
2b/16 = (4b - 17)/24
By cross multiplication we now have,
2b(24) = 16(4b - 17)
By expanding the brackets we now have
48b = 64b - 272
By collecting like terms, 64b now moves to the left side of the equation and becomes negative
48b - 64b = -272
-16b = -272
Divide both sides of the equation by -16
b = 17
**Note** A negative number divided by another negative number yields a positive answer.
Answer:
4 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
y= 40x +225
$385 money to spend - $225 that go for hard drive = $160
40* x can be maximum 160 so x= 160 /40= 4
