Please help with A,B for 10 points.
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

y= (C -Ax)/B

x= (C -By)/A

Step-by-step explanation:

Ax+ By = C

solve for y

Subtract AX from each side

Ax+ By - Ax = C-Ax

By = C -Ax

Divide by B

By /B= (C -Ax)/B

y= (C -Ax)/B

solve for x

Subtract By from each side

Ax+ By - By = C-By

Ax = C -By

Divide by A

Ax/A= (C -By)/A

x= (C -By)/A

kirill [66]

Answer:

11 am

Step-by-step explanation:

Bus A and Bus B leave the bus depot at 9 am.

Bus A takes 30 minutes to complete its route once

Bus B takes 40 minutes to complete its route once.

We solve this finding the Lowest Common Multiple of the minutes each bus uses to complete it's route

30 = 3 × 10

40 = 4 × 10

= 3 × 4 × 10

= 120 minutes

120 minutes after 9 am is

60 minutes = 1 hour

60 minutes = 1 hour

= 2 hours.

9am + 2 hours

= 11 am.

Therefore, they be back at the bus depot together at 11 am

A = πab/4 solve for b
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

4A/ (πa)  = b

Step-by-step explanation:

A = πab/4

Multiply each side by 4

4A = 4πab/4

4A = πab

Divide each side by πa

4A/(πa)  = πab/ πa

4A/ (πa)  = b
