Answer:

a = 2.5, b = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

4a = 5b + 5 → (1)

2a = 3b + 2 → (2)

Multiplying (2) by - 2 and adding the result to (1) will eliminate a

- 4a = - 6b - 4 → (3)

Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate a

0 = - b + 1 ( add b to both sides )

b = 1

Substitute b = 1 into either of the 2 equations and solve for a

Substituting into (2)

2a = 3(1) + 2 = 3 + 2 = 5 ( divide both sides by 2 )

a = 2.5

Answer:

a = 2.5

b = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

4a = 5b + 5 and 2a = 3b + 2

→ Multiply the second equation by 2

4a = 6b + 4

→ Subtract this new equation from the first one

0 = b - 1

→ Find b by adding 1 on both sides

b = 1

→ Substitute b into one of the equation

4a = ( 5 × 1 ) + 5

→ Simplify

4a = 10

→ Divide both sides by 4

a = 2.5

Write an inequality for each graph.
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

x = unknown number (that is a solution/makes the inequality true)

When the inequality sign is </> (less than/greater than), the dot is an open circle.

When the inequality sign is ≤/≥ (less than or equal to/greater than or equal to), the dot is a closed circle.

14.) The line has an open circle on -8, and a closed circle on 11.

-8 < x ≤ 11   [x is any number greater than -8 and less than or equal to 11]

15.) The line has a closed circle on -14 and 5.

-14 ≤ x ≤ 5    [x is any number greater than or equal to -14 and less than or equal to 5]

A hemispherical bowl of radius 5 inches is filled to a depth of h​ inches, where 0less than or equalshless than or equals5. Find
mestny [16]

The shape of the water is that of a "spherical cap." The formula for the volume of a spherical cap is ...

... V = π·h²·(r -h/3) . . . . . . . from web search

For a radius of 5 in, this is

... V = π·h²·(5 -h/3) . . . . in³

_____

For h=0

... V = π·0²·(5 -0/3) = 0

For h=5 in

... V = π·(5 in)²·((5 -5/3) in) = (2/3)π·5³ in³ . . . . . the volume of a hemisphere of radius 5

On a diagram of the arena, the car park's length is 15 cm. The scale is 1:100.
faltersainse [42]

If a diagram has a scale of 1:100, that means that the real thing is 100 times larger. To find how long the real thing is, that means that we need to multiply the length on the diagram by 100. 100 * 15 is 1500. But, that is 1,500 cm. To convert it into meters, we need to divide by 100. That's because there's 100 centimeters in every meter. 1500/100 is 15, which means that the actual length of the car park is 15 meters.
