Answer:

(- 10, 13 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

- 3x + 2y = 56 → (1)

- 5x - 2y = 24 → (2)

Adding the 2 equations term by term eliminates the y- term, that is

- 8x = 80 ( divide both sides by - 8 )

x = - 10

Substitute x = - 10 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting into (1)

- 3(- 10) + 2y = 56

30 + 2y = 56 ( subtract 30 from both sides )

2y = 26 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = 13

Solution is (- 10, 13 )

Answer:

The answer to the question is

1.5 hours that is;

When the distance between them is more then 135 miles is after 1.5 hours and they will lose radio contact at 3:30 p.m.

Step-by-step explanation:

We note that

The speed of the military convoy headed north =50 mph

The speed of the convoy headed south = 40 mph

Let t be the time taken for the two convoys to be 135 miles apart

The time taken for the two convoys to be 135 miles apart is given by

50×t miles+ 40×t miles= 135 miles

That is 90×t miles = 135 miles

t = 135/90 = 1.5 hrs

Which of the following rational numbers is equal to 2 point 8 with bar over 8 ? twenty two over nine, twenty four over nine, twe

alina1380 [7]

Just to remove ambiguities, the bar over the expression means it's repeating itself to infinity.

$\bf 2.888\overline{8}\impliedby \textit{now say, let's make }x=2.888\overline{8}
\\\\\\
\textit{and multiply it by 10, to move over the 8 to the left}
\\\\\\
\begin{array}{llll}
10x&=&10\cdot 2.888\overline{8}\\
&&28.88\overline{8}\\
&&26+2.888\overline{8}\\
&&26+x
\end{array}\implies 10x=26+x
\\\\\\
9x=26\implies x=\cfrac{26}{9}$

notice, the idea being, you multiply it by 10 at some power, so that you move the "recurring decimal" to the other side of the point, and then split it with a digit and "x".

now, you can plug that in your calculator, to check what you get.
