The given equations are

2x-3y=-1\cdots(i) \\\\y=x-1\cdots(ii)

(a) Solution by graphing both the equations:

Graph for both the equations (i) and (ii) are in the figure. The point of intersection of both the graph is the solution of the equations.

From the graph, the point of intersection is (4,3)).

Hence, the required solution is (4,3).

(b) Solution by elimination method:

Equations (ii) can be written as -x+y=-1, now multiply it by 2, we have

-2x+2y=-2\cdots(iii)

Add equations (i) and (iii), we have

2x-3y=-1

-2x+2y=-2

__________

\Rightarrow -3y+2y=-1-2\\\\ \Rightarrow -y=-3\\\\ \Rightarrow y=3.

Putting the value of y=3 in equation (i), we have

2x-3\times 3=-1 \\\\\Rightarrow 2x=-1+9=8 \\\\\Rightarrow x=8/2=4

Hence, the required solution is (4,4).

(c) Solution by substitution method:

Substituting the value of y from equation (ii) to equation (i), we have

2x-3(x-1)=-1 \\\\\Rightarrow 2x-3x+3=-1 \\\\\Rightarrow -x=-1-4=-4 \\\\\Rightarrow x=4

Putting the value of x=4 in equation (i), we have

y=4-1=3.

Hence, the required solution is (4,3).

How many ounces of a 15​% alcohol solution must be mixed with 4 ounces of a 20​% alcohol solution to make a 17​% alcohol​ soluti
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

6 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the number of ounces of the 15% alcohol solution needed to be mixed with the 4 ounces of 20% alcohol solution to obtain the 17% alcohol solution.

After converting the percentages to their decimal equivalents, set up the necessary equation as follows:

0.15x+0.20(4) = (x+4)(0.17) Simplify and solve for x.

0.15x+0.8 = 0.17x+0.68 Subtract 0.15x from both sides.

0.8 = 0.02x+0.68 Now subtract 0.68 from both sides.

0.12 = 0.02x Finally, divide both sides by 0.02

x = 6

You need to mix 6 ounces of 15% alcohol solution with 4 ounces of 20% alcohol solution to obtain 10 (x+4)ounces of 17% alcohol solution.

What is the minimum number of degrees that an equilateral triangle can be rotated before it carries onto itself?
mash [69]
Since the triangle has equal sides it will carry onto it self at 120, since it can rotate 360 grades only and it has 3 sides so it will rotate in one third of 360 so 120
