Answer:
x= 29/11 or y= 25/11
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - y= 3 ...........equation 1
x + 5y= 14 ............equation 2
Make x the subject of the formula in equation 2
x= 14 - 5y ..............equation 3
Substitute x=14 - 5y in equation 1
2(14- 5y) - y=3
28 - 10y - y=3
Collect like terms
-10y - y=3 - 28
-11y= -25
divide both sides by coefficient of y
-11y/-11 = -25/-11
y= 25/11
Substitute y= 25/11 in equation 3
x=14 - 5(25/11)
x= 14 - 125/11
x= 29/11

Answer:

Answer:

x= 29/11 or y= 25/11

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - y= 3 ...........equation 1

x + 5y= 14 ............equation 2

Make x the subject of the formula in equation 2

x= 14 - 5y ..............equation 3

Substitute x=14 - 5y in equation 1

2(14- 5y) - y=3

28 - 10y - y=3

Collect like terms

-10y - y=3 - 28

-11y= -25

divide both sides by coefficient of y

-11y/-11 = -25/-11

y= 25/11

Substitute y= 25/11 in equation 3

x=14 - 5(25/11)

x= 14 - 125/11

x= 29/11

8090 [49]

I'll guess the answer is <em>you can tell that pi is an irrational because it has a </em>non-terminating yet non-repeating decimal representation.<em> </em>

Of course it's not clear how we tell this.  We can't know for sure just by looking at the first trillion digits we've figured out whether it repeats or not.  Someone told us it didn't, that's really how we know.

Solve 240 = 6z + c for 'c'.<br><br> show steps please
Lunna [17]

There are two ways to find or determine for the value of c. In the first method, we can use addition and subtraction to isolate the variable c from the other variables. In the second method, we can use the transposition of variables to isolate the variable c from the other variables.

So solving for the value of c:

 

<span>Using 1st method: Addition and Subtraction</span>

We are given:

240 = 6 z + c

Simply subtract 6 z on both sides:

240 – 6 z = 6 z + c – 6 z

Cancelling 6 z – 6 z on the right side:

240 – 6 z = c

or

c = 240 – 6 z

 

<span>Using the 2nd method: Transposition</span>

240 = 6 z + c

What we are going to do here is to simply transpose the variable 6 z from the right side to the left side of the equation so that we are left with c alone on the right side. Always remember that when we transpose, the symbol becomes opposite. That is:

240 + (- 6 z) = c

240 – 6 z = c

or

<span>c = 240 – 6 z</span>

What is the area of a rectangular holding pond with length 8/15 mile and width 1/6 mile?
SSSSS [86.1K]

as you already know, the area of a rectangle is just length*width, so is just the product of those two.


\bf \cfrac{8}{15}\times \cfrac{1}{6}\implies \cfrac{8}{6}\times \cfrac{1}{15}\implies \cfrac{4}{3}\times \cfrac{1}{15}\implies \cfrac{4}{45}
