4x - 2y = 14
y = 0.5x -1
Get just one variable on one side for both equations.
4x - 2y = 14 ⇒ 4x = 2y + 14 ⇒ 4x - 14 = 2y
y = 0.5x - 1 ⇒ x - 2 = 2y
Use the transitive property and then solve for x.
x-2 = 4x-14
12 = 3x
x = 4

6. Answer:
72.84
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the perimeter of the rectangle, just add the sides together except the one connected to the semicircle
12 + 15 + 15 = 42
The diameter of the semi circle is 12
πr + d = 6 * π + 12 ≈ 30.84
Add them together
42 + 30.85 = 72.84
7. Answer:
78.54
(78.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
The shape is a circle
Radius is 5
Diameter is 10 (diameter is always double of the radius)
π * r^2 = π * 25 cm^2 = 78.54 cm^2
8. Answer:
50.27
Step-by-step explanation:
The shape is a circle
Radius is 4
Diameter is 8 (diameter is always double of the radius)
π * r^2 = π * 16 ft^2 = 50.27 ft^2
(16 = 8 * 2)
Answer:
2/3 (0.6 repeating) pages per minute
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide the numerator (40) by the denominator (60).
You get 2/3 pages per minute.
I'll go out on a limb and suppose you're given the matrix

and you're asked to find the determinant of

, where

and given that

.
There are two properties of the determinant that come into play here:
(1) Whenever a single row/column is scaled by a constant

, then the determinant of the matrix is scaled by that same constant;
(2) Adding/subtracting rows does not change the value of the determinant.
Taken together, we have that
