Answer:

x = minutes of Tori's podcast = 88 minutes

y = minutes of Wendy's podcast = 129 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = minutes of Tori's podcast

y = minutes of Wendy's podcast

40x + 16y = 5,584 (1)

27x + 11y = 3,795 (2)

Multiply (1) by 11 and (2) by 16

440x + 176y = 61,424 (3)

432x + 176y = 60,720 (4)

Subtract (4) from (3) to eliminate y

440x - 432x = 61,424 - 60,720

8x = 704

x = 704/8

x = 88

Substitute x = 88 into (1)

40x + 16y = 5,584 (1)

40(88) + 16y = 5,584

3,520 + 16y = 5,584

16y = 5,584 - 3,520

16y = 2,064

y = 2,064/16

y = 129

x = minutes of Tori's podcast = 88 minutes

y = minutes of Wendy's podcast = 129 minutes

The shape in the figure is constructed from several identical squares. If the side of each square is 1 unit, what is the area an
Katen [24]

Answer:

Area = 7 square units

Perimeter = 14 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape is made up of 7 identical squares and, we are told the side length of each square is 1 unit.

==>Find area of the shape by calculating the area of 1 square, then multiply by the number of square used in the construction.

Thus, area of 1 square = s² = 1² = 1 square units.

Area of shape = 7 × 1 square units = 7 square units

==>Find the Perimeter of the shape by adding all the lengths of the boundary formed by the square to make up the shape.

(Check attachment to understand how we got the measurement of the boundary)

<em>The perimeter = 1 + 1 + 1 + ½ + ½ + 1 + 1 + 1½ + ½ + 1 + 1 + 4 = 14 units</em>

3x+y-4z=-22<br> 2x+3y+4z=32<br> x-y+2z=16
Bogdan [553]

Answer: x=-1, y=2, z=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

[1]    2x + 3y - 4z = 16

  [2]    -x + 2y - z = 8

  [3]    2x - y - 2z = 2

Solve by Substitution :

Solve equation [3] for the variable  y

 [3]    y = 2x - 2z - 2

Plug this in for variable  y  in equation [1]

    2x + 3•(2x-2z-2) - 4z = 16

    8x - 10z = 22

Plug this in for variable  y  in equation [2]

    -x + 2•(2x-2z-2) - z = 8

      3x - 5z = 12

Solve equation [2] for the variable  x

 3x = 5z + 12

     x = 5z/3 + 4

Plug this in for variable  x  in equation [1]

   8•(5z/3+4) - 10z = 22

    10z/3 = -10

    10z = -30

Solve equation for the variable  z

    10z = - 30

   z = - 3

By now we know this much :

   x = 5z/3+4

   y = 2x-2z-2

   z = -3

Use the  z  value to solve for  x

   x = (5/3)(-3)+4 = -1

Use the  x  and  z  values to solve for  y

 y = 2(-1)-2(-3)-2 = 2
