Sole the following system of equations 8x-3y=13 -3x-8y=-14

Mathematics

The system reads:

8x-3y=13

-3x-8y=-14


Solve this by solving for one variable at a time by cancelling the other.  We will begin by solving for y and cancelling x.  To do this, you need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the x variables and multiply both equations by the number which will make them equal the LCM.  For 8 and 3, the LCM is 24, so you will multiply the top equation by 3 and the bottom one by 8.  

<em>*****In order for the variables to cancel, the signs need to be opposite.  In this system, one is already positive and the other negative; if this were not the case, one of the equations would have needed to be multiplied by a negative number.*****</em>

The system becomes:

24x-9y=39

-24x-24y=42

Now, you can combine the equations by adding them:

-33y=81

Solve for y:

<em>*Divide both sides by -33*</em>

y=27/11


To find x, you can select one of the given equations, plug in 27/11 for y, and solve for x.  We'll use the first equation:

8x-3(27/11)=13

8x-81/11=13

<em>*Add 81/11 to both sides*</em>

8x=224/11

<em>*Divide both sides by 8*</em>

x=28/11


Hope this helps!!

The linear equation (y = mx + b) for this particular line is d = 0.6t
it's the same as finding the equation for any line except they use d instead of y and t instead of x. The slope m is 0.6 and intercept is zero.

Liam is making barbecue ribs over a fire. The internal temperature of the ribs when he starts cooking is 40°F. During each hour
Soloha48 [4]

Answer: You need to wait at least 6.4 hours to eat the ribs.

t ≥ 6.4 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial temperature is 40°F, and it increases by 25% each hour.

This means that during hour 0 the temperature is 40° F

after the first hour, at h = 1h we have an increase of 25%, this means that the new temperature is:

T = 40° F + 0.25*40° F = 1.25*40° F

after another hour we have another increase of 25%, the temperature now is:

T = (1.25*40° F) + 0.25*(1.25*40° F) = (40° F)*(1.25)^2

Now, we can model the temperature at the hour h as:

T(h) = (40°f)*1.25^h

now we want to find the number of hours needed to get the temperature equal to 165°F. which is the minimum temperature that the ribs need to reach in order to be safe to eaten.

So we have:

(40°f)*1.25^h = 165° F

1.25^h = 165/40 = 4.125

h = ln(4.125)/ln(1.25)  = 6.4 hours.

then the inequality is:

t ≥ 6.4 hours.

2. A student on the track team runs 45 minutes each day as a part of her training. She
fomenos

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The basic equation to solve this would be D = RT, which is

D is Distance

R is Rate (speed)

T is time

To find total distance D, we can find individual distances for two legs of the whole.

First Leg:

R = 8

T = a

D = 8a

Second Leg:

R = 7.5

T = b

D = 7.5b

Total distance D is:

D = 8a + 7.5b

Moreover, we know student runs 45 minutes in total hence a + b = 45 or we can say a = 45 - b, so we can replace this in the equation found:

D = 8a + 7.5b

D = 8(45 - b) + 7.5b

Answer choice D is right.

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

30-5x-10

-5x+30-10

-5x+40

-5x= -40

divide both sides by -5

-5x/-5= -40/-5

x=8
