4x-3y=2<br> 3x=5y=16<br> solve using substitution method

vodomira [7]

$\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}4x-3y=2&|\text{add 3y to both sides}\\3x+5y=16\end{array}\right\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}4x=3y+2&|\text{divide both sides by 4}\\3x+5y=16\end{array}\right\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x=0.75y+0.5&(*)\\3x+5y=16\end{array}\right\\\\\text{substitute}\ (*)\ \text{to the second equation}\\\\3(0.75y+0.5)+5y=16\qquad\text{use distributive property}\\\\(3)(0.75x)+(3)(0.5)+5y=16\\\\2.25y+1.5+5y=16\qquad\text{subtract 1.5 from both sides}\\\\7.25y=14.5\qquad\text{divide both sides by 7.25}$

$\boxed{y=2}\\\\\text{substitute the value of y to}\ (*):\\\\x=0.75(2)+0.5\\\\x=1.5+0.5\\\\\boxed{x=2}\\\\Answer:\ x=2\ and\ y=2\to(2,\ 2)$

Four notebooks 4.40. how many notebooks can you buy for 6.60.

denis23 [38]

We know we have $4.40 for 4. Divide 4.40 by 4, you get 1.10. So it's $1.10 per notebook. Therefore, divide 6.60 by 1.10. You get 6, so you can get six notebooks with $6.60.
Hope this helps!

how can you use distributive property to write an expression equivalent to the one given above? Use reasoning to explain how you

Anit [1.1K]

The reason how the expression are equivalent given below:

<h3>What is Distributive Property?</h3>

Multiplying a number by a sum or difference is the same as multiplying by each number in the sum or difference and then adding or subtracting.

The Complete question is:

How can you use distributive property to write an expression equivalent to the one given above? Use reasoning to explain how you know the expressions are equivalent.

Distributive property represents distribute the outside number among the number or digits in parenthesis.

For Example: Solve the expression 7(20 + 3) using the distributive property of multiplication over addition.

When we solve the expression 7(20 + 3) using the distributive property,

we first multiply every addend by 7.

This is known as distributing the number 7 amongst the two addends and then we can add the products.

This means that the multiplication of 7(20) and 7(3) will be performed before the addition.

Hence, 7(20) + 7(3) = 140 + 21 = 161.

Let u = (1, 2 -2), v= (2, 1, 3) and w = j + 4k. a) Find cos theta, where theta is the angle in degrees between u and w.

vodka [1.7K]

Answer: The value of cos theta is -0.352.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

$\vec{u}=1\hat{i}+2\hat{j}-2\hat{k}\and\\\\\vec{w}=\hat{j}+4\hat{k}$

We need to find the cos theta between u and w.

As we know the formula for angle between two vectors.

$\cos\ \theta=\dfrac{\vec{u}.\vec{w}}{\mid u\mid \mid w\mid}$

So, it becomes,

$\cos \theta=\dfrac{2-8}{\sqrt{1^2+2^2+(-2)^2}\sqrt{1^2+4^2}}\\\\\cos \theta=\dfrac{-6}{\sqrt{17}\sqrt{17}}=\dfrac{-6}{17}=-0.352\\\\\theta=\cos^{-1}(\dfrac{-6}{17})=110.66^\circ$

Hence, the value of cos theta is -0.352.
