Answer:

Use the process of elimination. I'll only do one example since you have 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's do the first question.

2x-3y=-11

2x+y=9

Our goal here is to be left with one variable to solve, this way we can use the answer for that variable to find the other. A.K.A only find X to plug into the equation to find Y. To do this, we'll use the process of elimination, in which we need to cancel out a variable.

X seems the easiest here. To cancel 2 (in the top equation), you need to have a -2. And that -2 needs to be the x coefficient in the 2nd equation, in order for us to "cancel" it out. To get -2, you multiply 2 by -1.

-1(2x+y)= -1(9)

Note that whatever you do to one side, you need to do it to both sides! Hence, why I also multiplied 9 by -1. You should now be left with:

-2x -y = -9

Now, we cancel out the positive 2 and -2 from both equations by adding the two equations.

2x-3y= 11

+

-2x-y=-9

X cancels out, so we're left with -4y=-20. Solve for Y, which is 5.

-4y=-20

y=5

Now that you have the Y value, plug it into any of the two equations to find your X value.

2x-3y=11

2x-3(5)=11

2x-15=11

2x=26

x=13

And voilah! Our Y value is 5, and our X value is 13.

It's pretty simple once you understand what's going on. All that we did was to cancel out one variable (either X or Y) in the two equations so that we're left with only one variable to solve. If we cancel out X, we only need to solve for Y. You do this by manipulating one of the two equations (doesn't matter which one). Once you find either X or Y, all you need to is to plug it into one of the original equations. Then, you'll have both X and Y.

And that my friend, is the process of elimination. Good luck!

An apartment complex has a floor plan with dimensions shown. To effectively air condition a room, 20 BTU’s are required for ever
kifflom [539]

12,900 BTU's are required to cool the room effectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

We must calculate the area of the entire shape to determine the minimum BTU's required to cool the room effectively.

It is made up of a semi-circle a rectangle, and a trapezoid.

Step 2:

The area of a semi-circle =\frac{ \pi r^{2} }{2} .

Here, the diameter is 20 feet so the radius is 10 feet.

The area of the semi-circle =\frac{ \pi r^{2} }{2} =\frac{ (\pi) (10^{2}) }{2} = 157.079 square feet.

The area of a rectangle = (l)(w).

The length of the rectangle is 22 feet and the width is 20 feet.

The area of a rectangle = (l)(w) =(22)(20) = 440 square feet.

The area of a trapezoid =\frac{a+b}{2} (h).

Here a=12, b= 20, h= 3.

The area of a trapezoid =\frac{12+20}{2} (3) = 48 square feet.

Step 3:

The total area of the floor plan =157.079+440+48 = 645.079 square feet.

If 20 BTU's are required for a single square foot,

The number of BTU's for 645.079 square feet = (645.079)(20)=12,901.58 BTU's.

Rounding this off, we get 12,900 BTU's required  to cool the room effectively.

Last year, ginger cost $15 per kilogram. Due to a harvest shortage this year, the price of ginger has to increase by 15% per kil
Anastaziya [24]
<h3>Answer:    17.25 dollars</h3>

=======================================================

Explanation:

15% of 15 = 0.15*15 = 2.25

The cost has increased by $2.25 which means the cost per kilogram is now 15+2.25 = 17.25 dollars

------------

As a slight shortcut, we can multiply the old cost (15) by the multiplier 1.15 to get the same result:

1.15*15 = 17.25

This method allows us to chain together many percentage increases, and it also allows us to include percentage decreases as well. Note how 1.15 is basically the result of 100% + 15% = 1.00+0.15 = 1.15
