Answer:

s = 6, r = 8 or s = 4, r = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

2r - s = 10

2r = 10 + s

r = 5 + s/2 --(1)

rs - s^2 = 12 --(2)

sub (1) into (2):

(5 + s/2)s - s^2 = 12

5s + 0.5s^2 - s^2 = 12

-0.5s^2 + 5s - 12 = 0

s^2 - 10s + 24 = 0

(s - 6)(s - 4) = 0

therefore s = 6 or s = 4

when s = 6, r = 8 and when s = 4, r = 7

if you would like to discover more about simultaneous equations, you can have a look at my Instagram page (learntionary). I'll be posting mathematics related stuff there and some of my notes (simultaneous enq notes are already posted!)

There are 58 students enrolled in an art class. The day before the class begins, 10.3% of the students cancel. How many students
Sidana [21]
First, set up a proportion. 10.3% is the percentage of students who cancelled, but the question is asking for the students who are attending, so let’s use 89.7% to make it easier. The proportion would be x over 58 is equal to 89.7% over 100%. Multiply 58 by 89.7, giving you 5,202.6. Next, take 5,202.6 and divide it by 100. This should give you 52. 026, but it’s best to round this to 52. 52 students actually attend the art class, making this your final answer.

Simplify The following equations
Y_Kistochka [10]
<span>mostly collect like terms
use associative property which is
(a+b)+c=a+(b+c)
also -a+b-c=(-a)+(b)+(-c) so you can move them around
and remember that:
you just use a general rule
x+x=2x
x^2+x^2=2x^2
3xy4xy=7xy
3x+4x^2=3x+4x^2
you can only add like terms( like terms are terms that are same name like x or y are differnt, and like terms have same power exg x^2 and x^3 and x^1/2 and such

I will oly put the naswers because I don't have much time

first one: 2a+3b+2c

second one: remember that -(-6c)=+6c so the answer is c-10a-2b

third one: -a-8b-5c
