x + y = 1000, (1)
0.05x + 0.06y = 58. (2)

From (1), express y = 1000-x and then substitute it into (2)

0.05x + 0.06*(1000-x) = 58

0.05x + 60 - 0.06x = 58

-0.01x = 58 - 60 = -2 ====> x = %28-2%29%2F%28-0.01%29 = 200%2F1 = 200.

Answer. $200 was invested at 5%. The rest $1000 - $200 = $800 was invested at 6%.

Check. 200*0.05 + 800*0.06 = 58. ! Correct !

Solved. // I used the Substitution method to solve the system of 2 equations in 2 unknowns.

Answer:

(arranged from top to bottom)

System #3, where x=6

System #1, where x=4

System #7, where x=3

System #5, where x=2

System #2, where x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

System #1: x=4

$2x+y=10\\x-3y=-2$

To solve, start by isolating your first equation for y.

$2x+y=10\\y=-2x+10$

Now, plug this value of y into your second equation.

$x-3(-2x+10)=-2\\x+6x-30=-2\\7x=28\\x=4$

System #2: x=1

$x+2y=5\\2x+y=4$

Isolate your second equation for y.

$2x+y=4\\y=-2x+4$

Plug this value of y into your first equation.

$x+2(-2x+4)=5\\x+(-4x)+8=5\\x-4x+8=5\\-3x=-3\\x=1$

System #3: x=6

$5x+y=33\\x=18-4y$

Isolate your first equation for y.

$5x+y=33\\y=-5x+33$

Plug this value of y into your second equation.

$x=18-4(-5x+33)\\x=18+20x-132\\-19x=-114\\x=6$

System #4: all real numbers (not included in your diagram)

$y=13-2x\\8x+4y=52$

Plug your value of y into your second equation.

$8x+4(13-2x)=52\\8x+52-8x=52\\0=0$

<em>all real numbers are solutions</em>

System #5: x=2

$x+3y=5\\6x-y=11$

Isolate your second equation for y.

$6x-y=11\\-y=-6x+11\\y=6x-11$

Plug in your value of y to your first equation.

$x+3(6x-11)=5\\x+18x-33=5\\19x=38\\x=2$

System #6: no solution (not included in your diagram)

$2x+y=10\\-6x-3y=-2$

Isolate your first equation for y.

$2x+y=10\\y=-2x+10$

Plug your value of y into your second equation.

$-6x-3(-2x+10)=-2\\-6x+6x-30=-2\\-30=-2$

<em>no solution</em>

System #7: x=3

$y=10+x\\2x+3y=45$

Plug your value of y into your second equation.

$2x+3(10+x)=45\\2x+30+3x=45\\5x=15\\x=3$

Convert 17.42 m to customary units. A.57'-17/8" B. 36-10 1/2" C. 442 1/2" D. 367/8" E. None of these answers is reasonable.

Answer:

Option E - None of these answers is reasonable.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : Convert 17.42 m to customary units ?

Solution :

The customary units is defined as the measure length and distances in the customary system are inches, feet, yards, and miles.

The options belong to feet and inches.

We have to convert meter into inches, feet.

Meter into feet,

$1 \text{ feet} = 0.3048 \text{ meter}$

$1 \text{ meter} = \frac{1}{0.3048}\text{ feet}$

$17.42 \text{ meter} = \frac{17.42}{0.3048}\text{ feet}$

$17.42 \text{ meter} = \frac{174200}{3048}\text{ feet}$

$17.42 \text{ meter} =57 \frac{464}{3048}\text{ feet}$

$17.42 \text{ meter} =57 \frac{58}{381}\text{ feet}$

Now, Feet into inches

$1 \text{ feet} = 12\text{ inches}$

$\frac{58}{381} \text{ feet} = 12\times \frac{58}{381}\text{ inches}$

$\frac{58}{381} \text{ feet} =\frac{232}{381}\text{ inches}$

i.e. $17.42 \text{ meter} =57\text{ feet }\frac{232}{381}\text{ inches}$

or $17.42 \text{ meter} =57'\frac{232}{381}''$

None of these answers is reasonable.

Therefore, Option E is correct.

Answer:

$2\frac{1}{3}\: ft$

Step-By-Step Explanation:

$Height\: of \:sail = 1\frac{1}{6}\: ft = \frac{7}{6}\: ft\\Base\: of \:sail = 4\: ft \\Area\: of \:sail =\frac{1}{2} \times base \times height\\=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{7}{6} \times 4\\= \frac{7}{6} \times 2\\=\frac{7}{3}\\=2\frac{1}{3}\: ft$
