Answer: 710,000 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 100 pence in one pound.

The number of two pence coins in 1 pound is therefore:

= 100 / 2

= 50 coins

In 2 million pounds therefore, there will be:

= 50 * 2,000,000

= 100,000,000 two pence coins

If one coin weighs 7.1g, weight is:

= 100,000,000 * 7.1

= 710,000,000 g

A kg is 1,000 grams so the weight in kg is:

= 710,000,000/1,000

= 710,000 kg

Give an equation that goes through the line 3,-1 that is parallel to 6x-5

allochka39001 [22]

Lines that are parallel have the same slope, and the given line (y = 6x - 5) has a slope of 6; we are looking for a line with a slope of 6.
To form an equation for a line, you need to know the y-intercept (the point at which the line intersects the y-axis). The first step to finding the y-intercept is to plot the given point. After you've done that, count six units up (this is our slope) and one to the right; plot the point. Lastly, draw the line by connecting the points and see where the line intersects the y-axis.
My graph shows that the line intersects the y-axis at -17. All that's left now is to put our information together into an equation. I'm assuming the problem wants the equation in slope-intercept form; slope-intercept form is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, so it would look like this:
y = 6x -17

Hope this helps.

Solve the system by using the technique of ‘elimination’: -2x+5y=-42,7x+2y=30

Gekata [30.6K]

Solve the following system using elimination:

{5 y - 2 x = -42 | (equation 1)

7 x + 2 y = 30 | (equation 2)

Swap equation 1 with equation 2:

{7 x + 2 y = 30 | (equation 1)

-(2 x) + 5 y = -42 | (equation 2)

Add 2/7 × (equation 1) to equation 2:

{7 x + 2 y = 30 | (equation 1)

0 x+(39 y)/7 = (-234)/7 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by 7/39:

{7 x + 2 y = 30 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = -6 | (equation 2)

Subtract 2 × (equation 2) from equation 1:

{7 x+0 y = 42 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = -6 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by 7:

{x+0 y = 6 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = -6 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer: {x = 6, y = -6

Given z=f(x,y),x=x(u,v),y=y(u,v), with x(4,1)=5 and y(4,1)=2, calculate zv(4,1) in terms of some of the values given in the tabl

Yuliya22 [10]

$z=f(x(u,v),y(u,v))\implies z_v=f_xx_v+f_yy_v$

$z_v(4,1)=f_x(5)x_v(4,1)+f_y(2)y_v(4,1)$
