Answer:

a = 11

b = 33

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Total fossil found = 33

Let :

Number of plant fossil = b

Number of animal fossil = a

a + b = 33

Plant fossil = 2 times number of animal fossil

b = 2a

Put b = 2a

a + 2a = 33

3a = 33

Divide both sides by 3

3a/ 3 = 33/3

a = 11

a + b = 33

11 + b = 33

b = 33 - 11

b = 22

The circumference of a circle is 22 cm.
valkas [14]

\bf \: Circumference \:  of  \: a \:  circle = 2\pi \: r

\implies22 = 2 \times  \dfrac{22}{7}  r

\implies22 =  \dfrac{44}{7}  \times r

\implies \: r =  \dfrac{22 \times 7}{44}

\implies \boxed{ r =  \dfrac{7}{2} }

Now,

\bf \: Area \:  of  \: circle = \pi {r}^{2}

\rightarrow \:  \frac{22}{7}   \times  ({ \frac{7}{2}) }^{2}

\rightarrow \frac{22}{ \cancel7}  \times  \frac{ \cancel{49}}{4}

\rightarrow \: 22 \times  \frac{7}{4}

\rightarrow \: 11 \times  \frac{7}{2}

\rightarrow \frac{77}{2}

\rightarrow \: 38.5 \: cm {}^{2}

Area of rectangle = 38.5 cm².

The system of equations
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

z = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of equations is:

xy/(x + y) = 1 ...........................(1)

xz/(x + z) = 2...........................(2)

yz/(y + z) = 3...........................(3)

From (1): x + y = xy

=> y = xy - x

y = x(y - 1)

x = y/(y - 1).......................................(4)

From (2): 2(x + z) = xz

=> 2x + 2z = xz

2x = xz - 2z

2x = z(x - 2)

z = 2x/(x - 2) ....................................(5)

From (3): 3(y + z) = yz

=> 3y + 3z = yz

3y = yz - 3z

3y = z(y - 3)

z = 3y/(y - 3)....................................(6)

Comparing (5) and (6)

2x/(x - 2) = 3y/(y - 3)

2x(y - 3) = 3y(x - 2)

2xy - 6x = 3xy - 6y

6(y - x) = xy .................................(7)

But from (1): xy = x + y

Using this in (7), we have

6(y - x) = x + y

6y - y - 6x - x = 0

5y - 7x = 0

5y = 7x

x = 5y/7................................................(8)

Using this in (4)

5y/7 = y/(y - 1)

1/(y - 1) = 5/7

(y - 1) = 7/5

y = 1 + 7/5

y = 12/5..........................................(9)

Using this in (8)

x = 5(12/5)/7 = 12/7 .......................(10)

Using (10) in (5)

z = 2x/(x - 2)

z = 2(12/7) ÷ (12/7 - 2)

= 24/7 ÷ -2/7

= 24/7 × (-7/2)

= -24/2 = -12

z = -12.
