Find the solution of this system of equations 4x - 5y = -12 -X + 5y = 18

Natalka [10]3 years ago

4x - 5y = -12

-x + 5y = 18

Add the equations together:

4x + -x = 3x

-5y + 5y = 0

-12 + 18 = 6

So now you have:

3x = 6

Divide both sides by 3:

X = 2

Now you have the value of x, replace x with 2 in one of the equations and solve for y:

4(2) -5y = -12

8 -5y = -12

Subtract 8 from both sides:

-5y = -20

Divide both sides by -5:

Y = 4

The solution is x = 2 and y = 4 which is written as (2,4)

B. What is the volume of the prism in cm3? Show your reasoning. If you
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a rectangular prism is length × height × width

Length=7 1/2

Width= 15 1/2

Height=12

Volume of the prism is therefore:

7 1/2×12×15 1/2= 1395cm3

No of cubes with edge length 1/2 to fit into the prism will be:

Volume of cube is L*W*H

1/2*1/2*1/2= 1/8cm3

Therefore the no of cubes to fit into the Prism will be:

1395/(1/8)= 11160 cubes.

If one was stuck,the number of 1/2 edge length cube to fit into 1cm will be:

1/(1/8)= 8 cubes
