Answer:

x = 9

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 2y = 24 is the same as x + y = 12

using substitution, x = 12-y

12 - y = 3y

12 = 4y

y = 3

x = 3(3)

x = 9

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in the value of a in the equation:

12(4) - 6 + 7(4) - 2(4)

Solve 12(4) - 6:

12(4) - 6 = 48 - 6 = 42

Solve 7(4) - 2(4):

7(4) - 2(4) = 28 - 8 = 20

Combine both answers (42+20):

42+20 = 62

Complete answer:

12(4) - 6 + 7(4) - 2(4) = 62

−3x − 8y = 20 −5x + y = 19 solved by substitution

Delete as this is the wrong answer. Made a typo in the answer.

Answer:

x = $\frac{-212}{3}$

y = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x - 8y = 20 .... (1)

-5x + y = 19 .... (2)

What we can do is take the (2) equation

-5x + y = 19

and solve for y by adding 5x to both sides

y = 24

now that we have y we substitute it in for y in equation (1)

-3x - 8(24) = 20

-3x - 192 = 20

we want to solve for x so we need to get its self.

add 192 to both sides

-3x = 212

now we divide both sides by -3. It's going to be a fraction.

x = $\frac{-212}{3}$

Answer:

The playable area has a width of 9 inches and a height of 6 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a number of ways you can get there.

1. Check the answers to see which have the right area and aspect ratio.

A: area = 24 in² — does not match 54 in²

B: area = 54 in², aspect ratio 6:9 = 2:3 — does not match 3:2 aspect ratio

C: area = 54 in², aspect ratio 9:6 = 3:2 — matches problem statement

D: area = 121.5 in² — does not match 54 in²

2. If the screen were 3:2 (inches), its area would be 6 in². The area of 54 in² is 9 times that value, so the actual screen dimensions are √9 = 3 times 3:2. That is, they are width:height = 9:6 inches — matches selection C.

3. You can write equations for width and height and solve.

w/h = 3/2

wh = 54

Substituting w=3/2·h into the second equation gives

... (3/2)h·h = 54

... h² = 36 . . . . . multiply by 2/3

... h = √36 = 6 . . . . square root, result in inches

12000 corn seeds and 92% grew how many plants. How many plants grew. Please explain your reasoning.

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

It's 11040 plants because 92 percent of 12000 is 11040. (Idk if this is the best reasoning but :/)
